How to start
Everything here comes from lilsimsie's rules spreadsheet, which she links under her first Very Veggie stream. She calls the rules a guideline and says they are still being play-tested, so details can change.
- Create one young adult with the Broccoli traits and aspiration. Dress them to match the vegetable and its color. Likes and dislikes are up to you.
- Move onto any empty lot.
- Remove your money: open the cheat console, type
testingcheats true, thenmoney 0. - Each generation, finish the listed aspirations, top the career and complete the extra goals.
- Any child can be heir. The next generation begins once the goals are done and the heir is a young adult.
- You finish when the tenth generation, Pea, has completed its goals.
Money and gameplay cheats are discouraged after the start. You can move house once your Sims can pay for it. On the Gallery, share with #VeryVeggie or #VeryVeggieLegacy.

If you are missing a pack
Lilsimsie suggests a swap for almost every generation. The most useful ones:
- Broccoli: a Get to Work retail store instead of a small business.
- Eggplant: Mixology instead of Nectar Making.
- Carrot: cows or chickens (Cottage Living) or dog training (Cats & Dogs) instead of horses.
- Squash: an A grade and a top after-school activity in High School Years instead of university.
- Potato: she calls Bust the Dust broken and says to skip that rule instead of buying the kit.
- Cauliflower: another occult type instead of ghosts.

Yes. Lilsimsie's spreadsheet has a separate base game rule set with the same ten vegetables. She notes the original was written to use a lot of packs on purpose.
Are money cheats allowed in Very Veggie?
You use money 0 once to start broke. After that the rules say to avoid money cheats, but lilsimsie adds that she won't mind if you change a rule to suit how you play.
