"The Sims" decided to go outer space as they introduced a NASA-themed edition of the app. It was mentioned that NASA's new app features "The Sims" in space as they grow plants just last month.

NASA Science Investigations: Plant Growth gives players a glimpse of what it's like in space. The game, which was released last month, captured the attention worldwide, especially those who are eager to get a glimpse of the International Space Station.

Gizmodo revealed details of the game where it was mentioned that the games come with various tasks. It was then added that players can even interact with other "astronauts." One of the best highlights of the game was the plant section. Players are taught how to grow crops similar to the ones that astronauts from NASA take care of during their stay at the International Space Station.

The game takes a while to master as players would have to get used to the anti-gravity feature. According to Yahoo, players would have to float around the ISS as they will be treated with pleasing visuals. The interior of the craft is similar to the one that NASA has, which managed to please gamers and space lovers alike.

Once the player would get a hold of floating around, they will then move forward with their mission. They are tasked to collect trinkets that can be found floating around the ISS. Then they would have to meet up with their fellow astronaut, Naomi, wherein she will help the players in growing their space plant.

Players would have to focus on growing their plant as it can be really challenging. One of the most challenging parts of the game is to grow your own food. Growing a lettuce may be easy, but growing an entire bowl of salad can be very challenging.
