Unable to weed plants that are not in season
Since the latest update, my sim is unable to weed or water plants that are not in season. Is this a bug, or deliberate? Will EA fix it? thanks

@sheridanhoughton it's a known bug, here's the thread for you if you want to click Me Too on the first post and add a reply.
It seems to be worse with cottage living planters for some players.
Gardening is quite susceptible to bugs (and not just the winged ones) I hope this one is fixed soon.
thanks for your reply. I had a look at the other thread, but my problem is slightly different. since the latest update, there is no option to weed plants that are not in season. the menu option is just not there. when I click on the plant, it just has two options - Harvest (out of season), which is greyed out, and uproot plant. there is no option to weed, water, fertilise, or anything else.
- @sheridanhoughton As I understand it that's part of the same bug. That's what's happening in my game and that's the thread where I've added my report and images.
It is because of the change in gardening where a plant no longer revert to a dirt pile when out of season. Instead it goes dormant and nothing can be done to it. If your sims gardening skill is high enough there is a workaround if you have another plant in season with weeds nearby you can choose Weed area on that which will also remove weeds on the dormant plant.
Many of my plants still revert to dirt piles when not in season - even trees. But it is not only those that don’t have the option to weed. Some of them still look like plants but give me no option to weed or water, etc
But the whole thing is really stupid anyway. In real life, you can still week, water and fertilise plants that are not in season. And it was possible before the latest update to do this in sims 4, even those that became piles of dirt. (Which is also stupid in the case of trees and many other plants)
- @jpkarlsen I tried doing that. It will not weed my out of season plants at all.
Looks like you're having two issue.
