Does your sim die a lot from emotion? Or is it just me...

@Tiarella You have to be on the lots with the plants before the time the harvestables appear to harvest on public lots now (since Seasons), so unless you get there before the sun is even up, they are never harvestable. It's the only part of the seasons gardening changes that I do not like. You also have to spend enough time there for them to grow to harvest stage before that...just like always.
