Sims 4 Greenhouse: Build a Haven for Your Lovely Plants🪻

In The Sims 4, a greenhouse is a great option for you to grow plants in all seasons. Instead of waiting for different seasons to grow the related plants, now you can simply build a greenhouse and skip the waiting of each season. To build a greenhouse, you only need to make a room with glass windows, furnish it with gardening pots and decorations, and put a glass roof on top as the final step. Nothing too technical!

The Sims 4 Greenhouse Haven Kit gives you a one-stop solution for building a greenhouse as well. You can purchase the kit directly and place the whole greenhouse room on your lot directly from the building mode. This post will lead you through all the details you need to know to set up your own unique greenhouse! 🌱

How to Build a Greenhouse in The Sims 4 from Scratch?

A greenhouse is essentially a room structure with glass windows, a glass roof, and plant pots. Therefore, the basic requirements for building a greenhouse in The Sims 4 are:

1. a room structure: floor, wall, and roof
2. glass windows
3. glass roof paint
4. glass doors
5. garden pots and garden planter box

The steps of making a greenhouse are as follows:

Build a Room with the Basic Walls, Floor, and Roof

Enter the game and select the build mode -> choose the Walls and Empty Rooms and use the Wall Tool to build a room for your greenhouse -> select the Roofs and put a roof you like onto the room

Cover the Wall with Glass Windows and Glass Doors

Select Windows and cover the walls with glass windows you like -> Choose a glass door from Doors as well for your greenhouse

This step is a bit tricky because the base game windows and doors don’t have the height of going all the way from the floor to the roof, so there would be some space on the wall uncovered by the glass windows and doors. If you want a perfect greenhouse that is completely covered by glass windows, you can purchase the Greenhouse Haven Kit and there are windows and doors specifically for building a greenhouse.

Apply Glass Roof Paint to the Roof

Choose the Roof Pattern -> select one glass roof design and apply it to your greenhouse.

Now you can basically see your greenhouse in good shape, fully equipped with glass windows, doors, and a roof.

Put in Garden Pots and Boxes

Select Objects by Room and go to Outdoors -> click Outdoor Activities -> purchase the seeds, garden pots, and garden planter boxes

The greenhouse is in full function now that you have put all the garden pots in your greenhouse. You can grow whatever you want in the greenhouse regardless of the seasons!

Decorate the Room to Your Liking (Optional)

Select Objects by Function -> choose decorations

Other than the greens that you are growing, you can also put some statues, carpets, or plants as decorations. All the more decors you can use to make your greenhouse more cozy and relaxing.

Put in Other Skill Developing Types of Furniture (Optional)

You can make your greenhouse more multi-functional as well. How about viewing your greenhouse as a relaxing leisure room filled with greens? You can put a woodworking table or an easel in the greenhouse as well. Arts simply goes well with the idea of a greenhouse and the vibe of nature.

GREENHOUSE

This greenhouse is of a delicate castle garden design. It only requires the base game. The room is quite filled with decorations which are piled together using the cheats. If your Sim is living in a castle, this greenhouse can fit perfectly with your overall castle structure.

Cute Greenhouse

This nice and cute greenhouse has a stone-paved road leading to the inner structure. The modern style is great for any penthouse balcony. It can be a nice room right next to a modern mansion as well, an additional structure near a yoga room maybe.

Basegame greenhouse Dmc

To start with, I love this greenhouse for its artistic vibe and simple color design. It combines the greenhouse function with other functional items like a dining desk, an easel, and a TV. This room becomes a relaxing corner for your Sim to escape the crowd and the mundane stuff in the main house.

Basegame Dream Greenhouse

This greenhouse is grand and looks like a workplace for a professional gardener. If you want a big space with many gardening pots to grow different plants, this greenhouse design is very practical for your concerns.

Basegame greenhouse Dmc

The cozy countryside style is the vibe and unique selling point for this greenhouse. The green hues of the desk and chairs mix so well with the green from the plants. It is certainly a greenhouse that will remind you of a carefree countryside life or a remote childhood memory at your grandma’s place.

Basegame large greenhouse

This greenhouse is more than just practical and spacious. The color design fits so well with the San Myshuno world in The Sims 4 as well. It’s a simple and harmonious city-style greenhouse for your after-work leisure.

cosy greenhouse basegame

I vote for this greenhouse for its simplistic and budget-friendly design. The star-shaped lights add a more festive touch to this little and delicate greenhouse. At the very least, the gardening planter box can provide four spots for your plant to grow as well.

Cozy Little Greenhouse

This greenhouse matches with a castle more than with a modern house. It can be a perfect little side room for your castle. Inside is a bit crowded with pots and planter boxes, but hey, also more room for you to plant as well!

greenhouse

I like how this room is both festive and tropical. There is no over-decoration in this room, and everything seems to be at its place and well-arranged. It’s a beautiful greenhouse for any modern design garden. The light decor looks fantastic, especially at night.

Greenhouse

This greenhouse has such a strong artist vibe and it actually looks more like an artist recluse or a quiet corner for a bookworm. There is only one planter box for your plant, so better to plan out what seeds to put in properly. Think of it like a gardening lab. It’s for experiments, not for mass production!

FAQs

Can you make greenhouses in Sims 4?

You can definitely make a greenhouse on your lot without any expansion packs or DLCs. To build a greenhouse for your plants in all seasons, you just need a room with glass windows on all walls and a glass roof for it to be counted as a greenhouse. Don’t forget to put some pots in your greenhouse as well!🪴

What comes in the Greenhouse Haven Kit?

The kit comes with a full-furnished greenhouse room in your build mode. Other than that, the kit also gives you 27 decoration items for your greenhouse, including racks, pots, flower pots, seedlings, and chests. You can refer to the section of Greenhouse Haven Kit items in this post for the full list!

Can you grow plants year-round in a greenhouse in Sims 4?

Yes, to escape the limits of each plant’s season requirement, you can build a beautiful greenhouse to support the plants to grow in all seasons. Sometimes, there are also challenges asking you to plant the seeds indoors. That’s when the greenhouse should come into play as well!

Conclusion:

In sum, The Sims 4 greenhouse is basically a room structure with walls covered by glass windows, a glass roof, and plant pots inside the room to grow plants all year round. Like a real-life greenhouse, the greenhouse in The Sims 4 designates a specific spot for growing plants and allows the plants inside to grow all year round.

In my opinion, it’s definitely worth it to build one even without the Greenhouse Haven Kit in the game, to make your lot look greener and to develop your Sim’s gardening skills. The greenhouse is also a good spot for you to put a crafting desk or an easel to diversify the function of the room. Who doesn’t want to do some handicrafts or art in a beautiful and verdant room?💐
