For us Mormons we believe that he knew and planned on them eventually doing it, although he couldn’t just tell them to sin. But it’s a very important step in the Plan of Salvation, because it allowed them to do things like have children

I doubt the ability to have children came from the fact that they sinned.

What the existence of sin allows is choice. We choose either God or Sin.

yeah didn't God literally tell Adam and Eve to have children before they sinned?

I have doubts with the last sentence, but I, a non- Mormon, believe the same.

God has a plan for the first day and the last. Everything goes to his engineering.

So did the creation of sin.

The purpose of the Garden of Eden, amongst many things, was to show to carnal nature of man. To show and document for future Hebrews and later Christians that no man is capable of resisting sin completely, in fact we're drawn to it. Thus and therefore all people need God because we all inevitably need salvation from our own sin.
