PlantSim Bloodlines
This mod adds three inheritable bloodline levels with Water, Hunger, Gardening, and Natural Living bonuses to your game.

PlantSim Bloodlines by baniduhaine introduces a generational inheritance system for PlantSims in The Sims 4, allowing their special abilities and advantages to become stronger across multiple generations. Inspired by the Spellcaster Bloodlines system from Realm of Magic, the mod gives PlantSim families additional benefits for maintaining their supernatural heritage.

The mod introduces three bloodline levels: Weak PlantSim Bloodline, Strong PlantSim Bloodline, and Ancient PlantSim Bloodline. Each level provides improvements to PlantSim needs and skill development, with stronger bonuses becoming available as the bloodline progresses through generations.

PlantSim Bloodline Benefits

Each bloodline level provides different advantages:
  • Weak PlantSim Bloodline: Water decays 10% slower and restores 10% faster, Hunger decays 10% slower, and Gardening and Natural Living skills develop 10% faster.
  • Strong PlantSim Bloodline: Water decays 20% slower and restores 20% faster, Hunger decays 20% slower, and Gardening and Natural Living skills develop 20% faster.
  • Ancient PlantSim Bloodline: Water decays 30% slower and restores 30% faster, Hunger decays 50% slower, and Gardening and Natural Living skills develop 30% faster.

Interestingly, even non-PlantSim descendants who inherit these bloodlines can benefit from the Gardening and Natural Living skill bonuses, regardless of their bloodline level.

Generational Inheritance

The bloodline system follows inheritance rules similar to those used for Spellcasters in The Sims 4.

The progression works as follows:
  • PlantSims without an existing bloodline produce offspring with Weak PlantSim Bloodlines.
  • PlantSims with Weak Bloodlines produce Strong Bloodlines.
  • PlantSims with Strong Bloodlines produce Ancient Bloodlines.
  • PlantSims with Ancient Bloodlines continue the Ancient Bloodline in their descendants.

However, maintaining the progression requires the offspring to also be born as a PlantSim. If a descendant inherits a bloodline but is not born with PlantSim status, the inheritance progression reverses rather than continuing to advance.

Important PlantSim Inheritance Details

Unlike other occult types, the PlantSim trait does not naturally persist throughout the entire lifespan. Players may need additional mods to maintain PlantSim status across generations.

The game checks the parents' traits at the exact moment of birth when determining bloodline inheritance. This means a parent must actively have the PlantSim trait when their child is born. Simply having been a PlantSim earlier in the pregnancy is not enough to pass down the bloodline.

PlantSim Bloodlines is Base Game Compatible and requires the Lot 51 Core Library. The Natural Living skill bonuses additionally require The Sims 4: Enchanted by Nature, while the Gardening bonuses work without that expansion. The mod is also compatible with SP's Expanded PlantSims.

The November 8, 2026 update adds a mod manifest without changing the documented bloodline bonuses or inheritance mechanics.

PlantSim Bloodlines is a great addition for players who enjoy supernatural family storytelling, generational challenges, and building a PlantSim legacy with increasingly powerful inherited abilities.
