    I actually removed all the plants from the particular household that was having this issue and I haven't had the time to check any of the other households with gardens yet. 

    Although, I would say that in general the plants need very little watering, compared to before, when you had to do it every day or the plants would wilter. 

  • I am still having this issue also - across multiple households and saves. My plants just never need to be watered, very rarely need to be weeded, and almost never have bugs. My current sims live in Strangerville so it's definitely not a rain issue.

    Could you provide your save as asked by @SimQARobo on the last page ?

    It is a Problem since patch for seasons. It depands on the level of gardeningskill in relationship with planted underground / planting througs. And it is still there, I remarqued today with island living. It crahes the scientist carrer a litte bit, if the "wrong" planting througs are used. 

    Trye it yoursef: different skill levels and different planting througs. Or look to the pictures. I only changed the planting throughs with the same sim.

    I think planting directly on the earth is repaired. The selfmade planting throughs are working fine, the other not all. But I don't remember all tests, i had made a year before. I think, I had posted it in the german sim forum.

    I found my test rows in the german forum (bug thread november 2018): Level by level an throug by throug. And ... further depanding what kind of lot the sim was visiting: his own lot, community lot, business lot, career lot. 

    I think a parts of these bugs was repaired, but not all, because the relationsships of skilllvel, kind of planting throug and kind of lot was not completed known.

    In Sulani, some of the new plants behave in reverse. Pineapple and kava continue to grow in winter, they want to be weeded and watered almost every day. They are spring and summer plants.

    Sul Sul, everyone!!! 🥳

    Our team is still looking into this, however, we have been running into issues reproducing. If anyone would be able to share a save file or any additional information with us, that would be very helpful! Here's how to send us your save files.

    Thanks all and Happy Simming! 🥳

    What wheather do you have? Perhaps frost?

    Frost let the need for watering and perhaps weeding disappear until it will become more warm. This happens also to plants inside a house. If there is frost, some plants cannot be planted (mushroom and carrots for example) in cause of the frost - also not inside. And the plantable Plants need not to be watered after Planting. They don't become dry and grow further. In winter that may happen during six or seven days, that there is frost. The wheathermachine does not change the frost.

    Well, after some new test of the crazy programmed planting system in Sim 4, I 've got 2 new crazy rules for the frost. I can reproduce them like the other 9 rules, I 've found before these both. And that only, to understand, what I can plant when and where. I had never seen such crazy programming of plants in earlier versions of Sims. It ist not to see in a savegame, only by testing behavior of plants by frost - for this mistake.

    It is a similar mistake like the forgotten option of watering on foreign land at square planters starting with level 2 of gardening. Tthere, the plants become dry and need water. You have to change into a round planters. Then you can water the dry plants. I dont know, what will happens in this case, when it is frosty.

    I have no hope, that the whole planting system would become repaired. There are too much of such mistakes. Too much work to look for every plant on every kind of plantingground on every kind of property by all levels of gardening - and now also by frost.

    @SimGuruKuxiku I'm getting an unexpected error for your link, but I see Tojdil linked to a drive folder, does that way work alright?

    Here's a folder with my save. I've never done this before so I included all the files that said last opened yesterday just in case. The only way to increase the quality of my plants is through fertilizing. I have never been able to water them besides right after they were planted, and weeds have never appeared. My sim aged up at the beginning of winter and I built her the greenhouse right then, it's now been 14 days in-game. Let me know if there's anything else I can do to help

    Is the winter set for longer than 7 days or is the world particularly cold?
    Now that I have understood the connection with frost and the world, it is now clearer to me why Sulani, where there is hardly any winter or cold, continues to weed or water outside some plants throughout the winter, even in winter inactive plants. In my opinion, very complicated settings on the plant system were made in connection with very differentiated weather settings per world. For this each plant seems to have to be assigned the specific behavior with too many correlations, which is probably not always possible in the crowd. There are always deviations of individual plants to recognize.
    And probably no one knows at a glance which behavior was assigned when. One part looks like it did not consistently program for a concept (such as planters whether round or square). One part seems to have simply forgotten something (eg lack of irrigation option on communal grounds without return of option, lack of allocation of different behavior in frost by greenhouses, lack of allocation to individual plants for planting during frost in greenhouses, different behavior of inactive plants outside during mild winter like in Sulani). There are probably also different assignments for trees and bushes. Depending on which combination a player already chooses (world, weather duration) it can sometimes come to a pouring and weeding and sometimes not. I was able to reproduce that in terms of frost now. I sincerely hope that there will not be more correlations like the age of the played Sim or who knows what else. Nobody overlooks that anymore.
