Moody Shrub is a magical, rare plant players can find in Everdew while exploring Innisgreen in The Sims 4. While other plants like Aura Blossom and Lightning Root give petals and leaves, the Moody Shrub gives emotion. Simmers can use them to manipulate other people's emotions and craft different potions at the Apothecary Table.

Where To Find Moody Shrub Seed In The Sims 4

To get Moody Shrub Seeds in The Sims 4, head over to the small shop that sells gardening supplies in the Sprucederry Grove neighborhood. It will cost some Simoleons, but you can always use cheats to get it.

Another method would be to Forage for Plants in Innisgreen at Natural Living skill level 7 or complete Fables for Fabulists. Interact with the board in Everdew to find out more about the Fabulists and then speak with them to acquire a Fable. This way, players will get a chance to receive an Everdew plant seed as a reward or trade it for something else.

How To Get Emotion Bottles In The Sims 4

Harvest Moody Shrubs to get Emotion Bottles in The Sims 4, and you can locate the plant just behind the Fairy Council Building near a set of swings. This can be a temporary source of emotions until you get a seed and plant one at home.

Although Moody Shrub provides Simmers with Bottled Emotions, there are other ways to get them, like asking the Moondrop Springs how it's feeling and bottling the emotions. They can also visit the Naturopath stand in Sprucederry Grove and try to see the available Emotion Bottles for purchase as the shop refreshes every day.
