The family album of the Greenman family implies that Gabe O'Mackey and Jason Greenman went on a hiking trip and discovered this society in the mountains near Riverblossom Hills, where Rose Greenman was discovered. However, it would also appear that there is a natural society of PlantSims living somewhere in the wild. Since synthetic pesticides are a relatively recent development, it would seem that PlantSims came into existence recently. A PlantSim who is restored to normal Sim-hood will retain the badge and therefore the ability to talk to plants. When a Sim becomes a PlantSim, they gain the ability to talk to plants (which boosts the plants' health dramatically) and automatically receive a gold Gardening badge.


A witch may also be able to help, or the Sim can call the Gypsy Matchmaker and buy the cure. If a Sim becomes a PlantSim accidentally, contacting a member of the Garden Club may help to restore them to normal. Becoming a PlantSim takes time, but more trees and crops on a residential lot can help, as it is the amount of pesticide a Sim uses over time that can trigger the transformation (in a single lot playtime, the effect does not stack when save and exiting). PlantSims are created by overuse of pesticides on crops or fruit trees.
