    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

Plants not evolving or allowing them to be catered to

That's not a bug per se. Those plants are out of season, meaning they are on pause until their season is up again. Before last patch they would just revert to piles until then. They intentionally changed this. You can put them indoors, if you still wanna grow them out of season.

However, those plants should not be growing weeds and this is a bug I've encountered as well.

    @LunaticVariant To precise, only plant out seasons and outside should turn to dirt pile, if they are sheltered, they should not and continu to grow weed as per normal plant irl. But the bug is that you can't weed them, as the animation seems to not complete and go in bucles again and again. I had that yesterday and the day before while playing, for sheltered plants. Although I though it had to see with their placement, diagonal againts a fence, as it would not work usually without move objects... So I changed it yesterday, now I need more testing, because before I did anything, some of them actually got weeds removed, with the proper animation... That is weird. I need to observe also which do not, if in season etc...

    I'm having this problem too, since the december 2023 patch. I'm on PC.

    I don't agree that all these plants should return to dirt pile when they're off season, well at least not the trees. I have an apple tree that is ready to evolve. It is even "twinkling".  Usually, the Sims should be able to evolve it, even when it's off season, but the option isn't there. (The evolve option is available for the plants that are in season.)

    They’re not on pause. My plantain tree just died because it got weeds and bugs I couldn’t treat because it’s out of season,

      I've noticed this as well, plants dying when they rarely did before becausse I can't tend to them.
