Where To Find Lightning Root Seed In The Sims 4

There are many methods to get Lightning Root seed in The Sims 4. The most obvious option is to buy it from the Sprucederry Grove garden shop, where you can browse for gardening and live houseplant supplies. The Lightning Root seed costs 400 Simoleons, and although there are money cheats, some might be playing a rags-to-riches challenge and don't want to cheat.

Luckily, there are other ways to get the Lightning Root seed. Try to Forage for Plants in Innisgreen at Natural Living skill level 7, but it will take some time. Another method, if players have a low level, is to try and complete Fables from Fabulists to get the seed as a reward. You can also try to trade with the locals in Innisgreen, as you might receive the seeds in return.

How To Get Lightning Root Leaves In The Sims 4

Lightning Root Leaves can be harvested for free every while by locating the Lightning Root plant in Everdew. From the Fairy Council building, search for the plant in a grassy area near the entrance path.

Another method is to buy from Todd's Stand in Sprucederry Grove. There will be apothecary ingredients for sale that change daily, so try to visit the stand regularly to collect the leaves. If you are participating in a legacy challenge, please note that Todd will eventually pass away, and another Naturopath will take his place. Simmers can also try to Forage for Apothecary Ingredients when they achieve Natural Living skill level 2.

Where To Use Lightning Root Leaves In The Sims 4

Simmers can use the Lightning Root plant to decrease their electricity expenses by connecting the plant to the power grid. Just click on the plant, and the option should appear. Make sure the plant is not enhanced, as the option may not be available.

Other than that, the Lightning Root Leaves are used in crafting elixirs or cures at the Apothecary Table.
