Patchy the Straw Man

Patchy the Straw Man is an object and holiday NPC introduced in The Sims 4: Seasons. He can be bought from build mode and will help tend to your garden once you have grown a relationship. Patchy has randomized traits and a random aspiration.
He first appeared in the very first teaser for The Sims 4: Seasons and reappeared in The Sims 4 Seasons: Holiday Official Gameplay trailer.
Like the Flower Bunny, his appearance is simply a costume, and removing it will reveal that he is a normal Sim underneath.
== Use ==
Much like things such as the original appearance of Bonehilda, Patchy is a placeable item, and will spring from his tree to help with gardening if your sim at high friendship with Patchy. After leaving the tree Patchy will work as a normal sim, with more tendencies to garden than usual, and then go back shortly after. He appears sometime around noon and retreats to his tree around 4-5 in the evening.
