    @crinrict update : I looked at the in season plants and there is an option to water and harvest. It’s greyed out as it’s not necessary but I just wanted to let you know.

    Me too!

    That's probably not intendeed to work like that. As you can see, if you have a "repaired"/"covered" (?) (in Italian it is riparata) and try to "Take care of the garden" (available for the high level of the garden ability), the sim stucks trying to remove the weeds from a repaired/covered plant (if there are other plant out-of-season in the garden) and he is not able to complete the operation.

    From 09:51 to 10:16 he keeps trying to remove the same weed (animation completed and restarted again and again). During summer he was able to take care of garden without any kind of matters.

    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.
