This is Rose Willow.

This is Rose Willow killing bugs, bugs and even more bugs!  Yet they still keep coming!

While killing bugs in the middle of the night, the can of bug spray exploded.

Once she finished coughing, she noticed that something was different.

Living off the land had a whole different meaning for her now.

Upset and confused, what would Talin think of her now? Rose found herself shaking her head, wishing for someone she could talk to.

When she looked up, there was a toddler plantsim just like her.  She named her Iris.

With Iris to care for now, she knew she had to get it together.  There were tomatoes to harvest, cucumber plants to weed

and of course, bugs to kill.  You would have thought that giant explosion of bug spray would have killed them all.

The next morning, she hesitantly called up Talin.  What if he didn’t like her new form?

It didn’t seem to be a problem.

Overcome, she laid one on him before asking him to move in.  She would build him a house and they could share it at night and work on the farm all day.

She started harvesting oranges from the tree she had just talked into health.  She didn’t notice

Talin using the bug spray.  She went over to stop him.

It was too late.

Talin took being turned into a plantsim with the same equanimity he had taken *her* becoming a plantsim and went right back to work.

Iris didn’t seem to care one way or the other.

Rose and Talin realized they were still people and could do almost everything a person could do, but no longer needed to sleep or eat.  They also realized they no longer really needed the house that they’d built when he moved in.

The two plantsims came up with a system.  They would talk to the plant until it was thriving, then sell the mouthwatering fruit.  They no longer needed to eat it themselves after all.

They would use the money to buy lady bug houses to take care of the bugs.

And a blocks table for Iris and Delphinia, Talin’s plantbaby daughter.  Talin did admit he should have thought better of her name, since he and Rose were not married yet, his daughter was Delphinia Deppiesse, which was quite a mouthful.

In no time at all, it seemed Iris was grown up.

and finding a love of her own.

(point of interest… it is impossible to tell from pictures which plantsim is which.  Well, except for pictures like that, since Iris is the only one who would be kissing Jill (autonomously through ACR, only one lightning bolt, not going to last)I need to figure out someway to tell them apart besides when they’re wearing underwear)

Things I haven’t said:  Rose and Talin aren’t married or even engaged yet.  I’m hoping he’ll roll the want, she’s had it locked for a while.  Rose is a family sim with a LTW to reach her golden anniversary (doable).  Talin is a knowledge sim with a LTW of maxing his skills (doable).  Iris is a Popularity/Fortune with a job LTW, don’t remember which one, but not doable right now.  She will not be the Willow heir, because she’s only about 6 days younger than her mother.  Delphinia Deppiesse will also be moving out when she grows up and they have a business and be starting a Deppiesse family.  The kids were basically left to themselves, although they were bathed a couple of times, given smart milk and taught their nursery rhymes.
