Gardening can be a really profitable hobby in The Sims 4. It does take quite a bit of time, though. You’ll be planting seeds, watering, dealing with weeds and bugs, and using good fertilizer to keep everything healthy.
So if you want to make the most money, which plants should you be growing? Let’s take a look at the most profitable ones.
Top Money-Making Plants in The Sims 4
- Dragonfruit
- Growfruit
- Blueberries
- UFO Fruits
- Morel Mushrooms
- Money Trees
- Oversized Crops
Dragonfruit is the most profitable base game plant in The Sims 4.
Growfruit, Blueberries, UFO Fruit, Morel Mushrooms, Money Trees, and oversized crops bring in some of the highest earnings in The Sims 4. Even at Normal quality, you can usually make at least 200 Simoleons per plant.
If you manage to grow them to Perfect quality, the profits really jump, and you can easily make 500 Simoleons or more from a single harvest.
Growing Oversized Crops
To grow oversized crops in The Sims 4, you’ll need the Cottage Living expansion installed. This pack adds five special plants that can grow to huge sizes, and they can sell for pretty impressive amounts when you harvest them.
- Aubergine: Oversized Aubergines can be sold for 200 to 365 Simoleons.
- Lettuce: Oversized Lettuce can fetch 300 to 580 Simoleons.
- Mushroom: Oversized Mushrooms are valued at 390 to 740 Simoleons.
- Pumpkin: Oversized Pumpkins can sell for 230 to 440 Simoleons.
- Watermelon: Oversized Watermelons are worth 200 to 380 Simoleons.
Making Profit with Nectar in The Sims 4: Horse Ranch
In The Sims 4, if you have the Horse Ranch expansion and can make nectar. Grapes, strawberries, and berries like huckleberry and mulberry can become incredibly profitable once they’re turned into nectar.
And if you manage to get a Death Flower, you can make Vitality nectar. When it’s fully aged, a single bottle can sell for over 30,000 Simoleons.
Making Money with Morel Mushrooms
If you have Outdoor Retreat installed, you can grow Morel Mushrooms to earn some cash. Just one Normal quality Morel mushroom can bring you 180 Simoleons each day.
But if you get it to Perfect quality, you’ll get 500 Simoleons daily.
Grow 10 of these plants, and you might have enough money to quit your job and garden full-time.
Dragonfruit: A Cash Crop
Dragonfruit plants are great for making money. Each Dragonfruit can sell for 250 to 695 Simoleons, depending on how good it is.
If you have a big garden with 20 Dragonfruit plants, you could make 30K to 50K Simoleons every time you harvest them.
Making Money from Flowers
Flowers like Lily, Begonia, Rose, Tulip, and Dahlia can earn you a good amount of Simoleons.
- A single Lily can sell for up to 100 Simoleons.
- Each Rose can bring you around 80 Simoleons.
- A single Begonia is worth approximately 65 Simoleons.
- Both Tulips and Dahlias will fetch you 40 Simoleons each.
Increasing Plant Profitability
Plants that sell for a lot usually take longer to grow, but you can speed things up by grafting. Just take an expensive plant and graft it onto something that grows quickly, like a potato.
These hybrid plants can bring in a surprising amount of money. A popular trick is grafting Dragonfruit onto a potato plant. You’ll get much faster harvests and still make great profits.
Happy Simming!
