In my experience, you occasionally get all of the emotion berries when you plant one of any type on your home lot but it's extremely rare. I love having a whole farm of these plants and absolutely have NOT used them to cause hysterical death in my Sims. Jungle Adventure is one of my favorite packs. I love it so much.
These content are gold!! You really do lots of research for every video, and it fascinates me that you compressed it in a short comprehensive one for us to watch. Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
Good guide. Best I can do is add just some details about how other skills (not an intrinsic part of Jungle Adventures itself) can still make this pack just a little bit easier. Being aware that fully exploring the jungle *will* take several days, make sure your Sim is either "in between jobs," or has plenty (ideally a week or more) of vacation days built up for this. Splitting up multiple vacations over some lengthy time periods still works though. Also, don't forget the cost of the rental housing over time; this plus the purchasing of gear & food adds up pretty quickly. Yes, losing your machete is indeed a thing; it happened to me & I found that if the merchant has more than one machete available (merchant had two on my Sim's first-ever look at their goods but had none at all afterward; Not knowing any better at the time, I only bought one), it's a good idea to buy up to four or five if you can. This is just a tip for those who are taking their first trip into the jungle, so that they can be prepared for it *before* they go. Besides all of the smaller gear, a tent (or cot) & portable cooler comes in handy; food & a decent place to sleep can be found in the wild but they're not as efficient as a tent & cooler. Lanterns are good too but you can't carry them as you walk around so they're best used if you're going to be in a particular area for a long time (camp site or excavation site) at night or merely to see some features better while exploring; One or two lanterns will be sufficient but don't forget to pick them back up again before you leave the area. If your Sim is into the Cooking/Baking/Gourmet Cooking skills, each type of food you order from the bar or the food merchant is another recipe you unlock; you can cook those dishes any place you can cook food if you have the ingredients (gardeners can harvest some types, any Sim can get a few on their phones in the Purchase Gifts list). If you have the inclination to do it, you can get *all* ingredients for *all* of the recipes & just carry a few of each in your Inventory; The Inventory gets pretty cluttered though, so if you choose only a few recipes to prepare then that's good enough. A gardener (Base Game and/or Cottage Living) can also hang on to some of what they harvest & plant them later in their home gardens. A gardener that also has the interaction options to apply their skill to a plant in the wild, then that will help it's growth so you can harvest a little more frequently & on later trips into the wild; I find that it's cheapest to carry a bunch of apples around to use as fertilizer & you can always get more from Purchase Gifts on your phone. There are better fertilizers available but they're more costly for just carrying them around, plus Apples only take up one Inventory slot (less clutter). A little unorthodox but if your Sim is a spellcaster (Realms of Magic) then the Floralodial spell is *really* handy. Occasionally look for places (not very common outside of your home lot) where you could cast Herbio...It'll instantly sprout a plant & allow for more future harvesting; an Herbio-created plant is counted by the game as a "wild" plant, not a "garden" plant, unless you cast it *directly* on a Planting Box/Pot/Garden Plot. Experimenting with your Cauldron at home just *might* grant you some new discoveries; what you get with experimentation is random. It's pretty rare but planting an Emotion Tree at home *may* produce all different types of berries...But it's a small random chance so you may want to plant more than one.
Your Sim can also get poisoned if you add the Creepy Crawlies Lot Challenge to your lot. I didn't know this and one of my Sims in a rags to riches I was playing nearly died because I needed to get to the jungle to get the antidote for her.
Helpful video. I need the explore (see what I did there?) this pack more than I have. Sadly, its one of my less used packs and something tells me that's a shame. Thanks and have a great day!

Thank you for the super kind comment Rie! I really appreciate it!!
Fitness, Logic, Archeology, Handiness, Charisma and Culture
The selvadoradian culture skill is taught in the social studies class in high school years. Same with the archaeology skills.
I was wondering what the bone dust was for, now I know, thanks. Also that sim in the pool at the end, LOL. 😁
