Is there such a thing as a computer game to simulate gardening?
Which of
you remember the computer games 'Sim City' and 'Sim World'?

Sim Garden or anything like it would be good , either internet based
or PC
based? My wife currently doesn't have access to a garden and she is
getting very twitchy about it!

Please help. Thanks.


Well, The Sims has some gardening in it. Plant flowers, and don't hire a
gardener, or water them yourself, and they die. The Unleashed expansion
pack added vegetables gardens that you need to weed and water, and then
you can harvest them, and save money on your grocery bills.

Compared to how someone who "gardens" views a garden, it's pretty
unrealistic, but it comes close to simulating how non-gardeners view
their landscape, and now vegetable gardens.

Hmmm.... I wonder if a Sim game focusing on gardening would be
commercially viable. Gardening isn't exactly rock 'em, sock 'em action,
but those goofy virtual pets had their day in the sun a couple of years
ago.
