1. Start by purchasing strawberry seeds from the build mode catalogue. Look for the “Outdoor Activities” section, and then select “Gardening.”
2. Once you have the seeds, find a suitable spot in your Sim’s garden. Strawberries thrive in direct sunlight, so choose an area that receives ample sunlight throughout the day.

8. With time, your strawberry plants will start to bloom and produce fruit. Be patient, as this process takes a few Sim days.
9. Once the strawberries are ripe, they will change color to a vibrant red. Harvest them by clicking on the plant and selecting “Harvest.” The strawberries will be added to your Sim’s inventory.
10. Sims can eat the strawberries for a quick snack or use them as ingredients in various recipes. They can also be sold for Simoleons, providing a small income for your Sim.
11. To continue growing strawberries, save some of the seeds from the harvested fruit. Simply click on the strawberries in your Sim’s inventory and select “Plant.”
