Motive (PlantSim)

Sunlight is introduced in The Sims 2: Seasons Expansion pack as a PlantSims motives. It basically works like a Sim's Hunger need, if a PlantSim is not exposed to sunlight the need goes down. Players can raise the need by either exposing the PlantSim to sunlight by taking them outside or by putting them near a window. If it is night time a Sun Lamp can be used to restore the motive. It's similar to the need of energy of the Servos.

PlantSims also need the the motive of Water. It also works as a hunger motive, if you have a pool or pond, or a generally wet area (A.K.A Bath or Shower). But the Water motive also works for a comfort motive.
