Community Garden not producing fruit, veggies or flowers

I took my sim to the lot at 4:30 am and had her stay there and it worked!!!   I don't know if the plants will continue to produce while I'm not on the lot or not.. but at least now I know.    

@DreamzInPink  That's how the game works: you need to be playing in the neighborhood at 5 am for the plants to grow their produce.  It's been this way for a while now, much to the chagrin of some players.

Yea i expected this to be a problem '^.^ Not buying the EP till it's "fixed". I mean who travels to community garden at 5 am? and what's the point if you get nothing out of it. Also if you do go, your garden at home will decay in the meantime.

@evita105  This isn't a pack issue.  I don't know when the 5 am requirement was implemented, but I think it was years ago.  And there's no sign it will change either—all indications are that it's by design.

@puzzlezaddict I know it's been an issue for a really long time (completely ruined the science career), I just mean that the new EP isn't worth it for me since stuff like community garden won't really work untill the old problem gets fixed.
