    Begone weeds! Plants won't grow weeds when Out of Season. If a plant has them when it becomes Out of Season, the weeds will be removed until it’s In Season again.

    Fixed in Patch 1.107.112/1.92

This has happened twice in my game since installing the last game patch (Dec. 5, 2023). Both were out-of-season trees: a cherry tree that grew weeds, and an apple tree that had insects. On both occasions, it happened as my game was exiting a loading screen (I'm pretty sure that both were from loading a save rather than a travel related loading screen). It was not something that happened at 5 a.m. during regular overnight game-play.

As a workaround, I used the shift + click cheat "Set Gardening State" to alter their state.

The "Weed Free" option worked for me, but I think the "Mulched" option should also work. I realize that using the Shift + Click cheat is less than ideal, but it's something to consider until this bug gets fixed.

    @candiecoatediv Do you remember in your game if the weeds sprouted overnight or if it happened after the game exited a loading screen, like it did in mine. For me, the weeds/ insects were not there on the last time I had played. They only randomly appeared on the next time I started the game and loaded a save. For this last one, it wasn't even morning in the game, it was late afternoon. It hasn't happened very often for me, like once last week and a second time earlier today. I don't even know if this detail is important, but it might help the devs recreate the bug, or to help them fix it.

    @RandomBuzziness Honestly I can’t recall I think it was daytime when I noticed it and the gardener had just been there. But what I have noticed is when my sim returns to the lot the weeds and insects are not there then after a few seconds they appear.
