Sims 4: All information about the reaper flower

The Sims 4 is one of the most popular PC simulations that is becoming more extensive over time. This practical tip shows you how to grow the reaper flower.

Sims 4: Reaper flower - background

The reaper comes into play in "The Sims 4" through the expansion "Outdoor Life".

• The reaper flower is therefore not part of the plant collection.
• A finished plant has a value of 1 Simoleon.
• It takes 24 hours for the plant to mature.
• The reaper flower is a cross between pomegranate and orchid (see below).

Sims 4: Reaper flower - benefits

In "The Sims 4", the reaper flower has one main function: the revival by ambrosia.

• Ambrosia is a rare dish that either revives a Sim's mind or resets the Sim's age to zero.
• To cook Ambrosia, you need Sim level 10 of the foodie skill, level 10 of the cooking skill and level 7 gardening.
• The ingredients you need for Ambrosia are an angelfish, a pomegranate (hybrid of apple and cherry), an orchid (hybrid of snapdragons and lily), the potion of youth (for 1, 500 satisfaction points in the reward store) and just the cut flower.
• After consuming ambrosia, the mind turns back into a normal Sim, it is recommended to put the dish on a table or counter to take immediately after preparation.
• In addition to being revived by the "Book of Life" and the wishing well, ambrosia is the only way to bring a dead ledge back to life.

Sims 4: Reaper flower - planting

As mentioned above, it is necessary to cross two other plants to get the reaper flower as a result. However, the extension "Outdoor Life" is a prerequisite for planting the flower.

• Since October 1st, 2014 this has been possible with a patch.
• When crossing, a new flower is created, which contains both the original and the harvested products of the sprout.
• However, there are also cases in which "refining" by means of crosses creates new plants - for example with the reaper flower, but also with the bonsai or the bird of paradise flower.
• Problematic: The orchid you need to grow the reaper flower can only be obtained by going into space - you have to complete the "Meteor stones" collection.
• Alternatively, you can cross a snapdragon with a lily.

Sims 4: Reaper flower - harvest

After planting the flowers, it is of course time to harvest:

• You can find plants in all public areas in the neighborhood. These public gardens exist in both worlds in the basic game, i.e. both in Willow Creek (2) and in Oasis Springs (1).
• It is also possible to plant on your own property.
• This in turn makes it much easier to complete the "Gardening Collection".
• If the plants in the public areas do not (yet) bear fruit, your Sims offshoot can take from you.
• You can then breed or cross them in your home garden.
• All plants can be crossed several times, it is also possible to exchange them for new flowers.
• But be careful! If there are too many plants, the maintenance required in your own garden is immense, so you should ideally part with some of your plants.

Planting, growing and crossing flowers is just a small part of what you can do with your Sim in "The Sims 4". We will tell you in another practical tip whether you can get pregnant as a teenager.
