Thank you for that mod, it's made playing a scientist much easier, though I still can't order my coworkers to garden, even when there are obvious weeds. I'm mostly commenting on this thread to confirm that the problem is still a problem.
Seeing how very little to no fruit grows at the lab, even if you plant a new plant, that's not harvestable. They need to fix this eventually, they cannot avoid this issue, same goes double for other issues in the game.
Wish they would roll back the plant syncing thing :/ Makes no sense that public lots don't regenerate plants, and i often manage to be out at syncing time for the home lot as well so i'm not getting anywhere with gardening. I remember it working perfectly earlier when i played a few years back. Also it's sort of aesthetically displeasing for all of the plants to dry out/grow weeds/get bugs at the exact same time every night.
I wish they would fix the problem with the plants at the Science Lab already, I have to use cheats to make them grow or need watering and even that doesn't work 100% of the time.
All they got to do is make it so as you leave workplaces that you can't return to at will, they refresh all plants that CAN grow, as in either inside and taken care of, or outside and in the right season and taken care of. It's starting to make me annoyed at how many of these small things are around in the game. Inventory management is already a huge pain in the behind and you don't want to drag around a gazillion things with you. Like you scroll down for an item, mouse over to read tooltip but then the scroll resets to top again by itself. No sorting feature, it's an really a joke how no one at their office can work it out.
The cheat created by @Psychotps can be found here:
It's currently up on both the Nexus and Mod The Sims. It's called Scientist Career - Graveyard Shift and Gardening Fix
This bug is so old....! EA, please could you fix it???!!! The mod is nice, but I don't like work hours...
