No steak plants for me?!
phyllis_p:
My gardener got eggs and cheese at level 8, I think. Then he got a challenge to bring 10 cheeses of a specific quality to the restaurant. By the time he did that, he was at level 10. He got burgers and steak at that point, and it told him to "come back when you get to level 10 for something really special." I assume he was supposed to get omni plant seeds, but since he was already at level 10, the opportunity never came up. Or it hasn't yet, anyway. He just turned elder, so we'll see what happens.

Honestly, if its part of a sim to have it, I just turn off aging and put them into a holding pattern. Considering when I do actually play a sim from scratch [birth] I always have all skills maxed by the time they hit YA anyway, I don't feel guilty.
And I've never gotten the omniplant one, but I'm not sweating it yet.

Maybe it is some sort of level specific opportunity. My sim got the cheese thing when he was already at level 10. It said 'when you are a higher level you'll get another opportunity' or something along those lines, but obviously he has nowhere to go past 10.
It might be like the 'Tutoring' thing, where you can Tutor to raise school performance if your logic is between 5-9, but then once you get to 10 it gets replace with 'tutor in skill' so if you didn't get the Tutor bonus (as opposed to the Skill Tutor bonus) then you will never get it once you hit 10 logic.
I might try cheating my sim's gardening back down to 7 or 8 and then seeing if he gets the meat or omni opportunities. Like I said, I got the cheese one at 10 fairly early on and then have not gotten the others and it's been a looooong time.

I've had 3 different sims get these opportunities. One got the cheese/egg opportunity right away, one got it right after hitting level 10, one got it weeks later. You'll get it eventually. Or your sim will die waiting unless you keep feeding him or her ambrosia.
Did you get all 3 or just the egg and cheese one? I got the egg and cheese one fairly early on but it's been several sim weeks and still no meat or omni, though I have been making use of the omni plant growing outside the science lab.
I eventually got all 3 for each of them. On one it was very quick, just about a sim week. On the other two I never thought it would happen and then they finally did. Two of them were level 10 before they got the eggplant opportunity. That's what I get for having a huge garden full of money trees and life fruit - each new gardener levels up to 10 in a few days.

Hmm, maybe I just need to be more patient then. It has been a long time though.
Still, I think the odds on getting those opportunities could be tweaked a bit better to make them higher. They aren't just random opportunities but really necessary to round out the skill and fully master gardening as one of the bonuses for the skill requires you to grow one of every type of plant in the game.
