This is happening to me too. No option to water the plants, and when I 1st loaded the game after the Seasons update, I noticed all the plants were dripping from having been watered: it stopped after a minute or so. Yet I have not had to water any plant for a few days now unless it is newly planted from seed. The mounds of dirt veggies/fruit and trees are in does not fade to a lighter color when they need water (nothing has turned brown or withered since seasons), they all appear to be fully watered. I am getting weeds and bugs though...but again, only option is to tend garden to clear that...no water option or weeding option.
Another issue I noticed, is that the crop does not decay over time. This garden has not been harvested in days, and you can see how plump the veggies look (same with fruit trees). Before the Seasons update, the visual plumpness would get less and less if not harvested relatively quickly: same with the flowers, the blooms would vanish over time if not harvested...they don't do that anymore and stay in a constant state of full bloom unless harvested.
Also, the sim does not have to be near the plants for them to evolve..clicking on evolve makes them evolve immediately with no sim near the plants.
Tested this, the sim went up to the plant to weed it (was not at a distance), but no animation of pulling the weeds. will keep testing this
Just had a lot of weeds. There is a new animation. The Sim now uses some sort of leaf blower thing that sucks up the weeds. I missed that the 1st time I tried to weed
Well I don't have that option at all in my greenhouse. My plants are still greyed out with this plant doesn't need water and this plant doesn't have weeds. Both greyed out. I can't complete my Freelance Botanist career past level 1 due to being unable to water or weed at all in my game. I am struggling to reach level 6 in the gardening career even with books because I can't weed or water at all.
So you are lucky that things are working for you now. I have PM my save file to SimGuruNick as nothing has improved or is working for me and I have been playing my seasons lets play for 18 sim game days through winter and I have never once had to tend or care for the plants in my greenhouse.
I also now have the bug where I can't plant winter veges cause its too cold. I just hope it gets fixed soon.
the water option was under "more options" but the tomato plants in this pic both needed water, and you can also see the weeds on the left side. Gardening is working..its just different that it was before...I am glad to not have to water the whole garden every hour or so if this was the fix intended by the devs: was getting tedious.
have you tried repairing the game Sorceress2696?
Yes it was the first thing I did when I started having issues before reporting the issue here. Wouldn't have posted it here if a repair had worked. And my plants were all planted after seasons.
all these plants I have were grown pre Season's update. I have not tried to plant anything to maturity since. I'll give that a shot and see if there is a glitch with new seedlings
