Dealing with vampires can become a problem if players are not equipped with the knowledge and tools to defend against them. In The Sims 4, garlic may not sound like a big deal, but it holds immense significance as it is the most effective means of countering vampires.

Not only can players use garlic to protect their Sims against vampires, but it can also be used as a wall hanging item to adorn houses. Garlic is a harvestable item in The Sims 4, but how can players find and grow garlic? Let’s find out.

Finding garlic in The Sims 4 isn’t too troublesome, as players can get their hands on it in no time. Garlic is found abundantly in the Forgotten Hollow, a new vampire world introduced in The Sims 4. Players can easily collect garlic from there, grow it, or use it as a home decor item.

Alternatively, 2 garlic seeds can be ordered by interacting with the computer under the vampire section. While it may seem like a small number, these 2 garlic seeds can grow into a bountiful harvest of 20 garlic bulbs.

Garlic Cheats

Cheats are the real game changer for those players who enjoy taking shortcuts. Garlic can be acquired using cheats by following these step-by-step instructions.

  • Enable cheats by pressing CTRL+SHIFT+C and wait for a window to appear at the top of the screen.
  • Now type the cheat “bb.showhiddenobjects” and press enter.
  • Open build/buy mode and search for garlic.

Players will need to exercise some patience and make a few visits over a few hours for garlic to fully grow.

Vampire break-ins can be controlled with the correct use of garlic. Players can place garlic near the doors or plant it nearby to protect their Sims from vampires. A few home decoration items can also be crafted using garlic. However, players need to level up in the “Vampire Knowledge” Skill first, which can be achieved by researching vampire lore skills on a computer.

Once a player has reached the 5th level of “Vampire Lore,” they can use garlic to create home decor items. Here are some things that can be crafted with garlic.
