Plants Never Need Water
In every sims game I play, on my laptop and on my boyfriend's computer, after the initial watering, my plants no longer need water ever. They still need weeding, spraying and can be evolved. This is ...

@lovinglyjeno @cowboycucumber I have not seen this bug in my game. Do you have the Seasons EP installed? In my game the outdoor plants seem to require less watering in the spring/fall and no watering in the winter. My indoor and sheltered plants still need watering in all seasons. I'm only using regular and vertical planters or planting directly in the ground. I'm avoiding any sprinklers or auto-watering systems because I want my Sim to increase her skill level by watering everything manually. I rotate my outdoor plants according to the season so I'm always planting new things, as @jpkarlsen already suggested, and I had no trouble completing that Aspiration task
- @RandomBuzziness I do have seasons but I had them for an entire season and they didn't need watering at any point
@lovinglyjeno Your plants did not need watering even in the summer? Just out of curiosity, what is your season length set at? I use the long 28-day seasons and my Sim has to water her plants quite frequently in the summer.

Well, plants are automatically watered when it rains. Once plants are watered, it takes a few days at least before they get dry enough to need watering again. The weather systems are more or less random. If it rained at least once every 3 days or so like clockwork, your plants might never need watering.
It's rare but no reason it shouldn't happen.
I know those things can be changed with mods, heck, I've done it myself. It's simplicity itself to turn off weeds and bugs for all plants.
If it's not rain, I'd say it's a mod. Have you tried removing all your mods?
