I've loaded up an old save with a sim who has every plant in her garden (and 5 cats!), some outside, some in a greenhouse and 2 in pots by the front door that are sheltered. It's the end of winter in this save, and I've just noticed that no only are the outside plants dormant as normal, but the sheltered pots have died down as have all the plants in the greenhouse. It didn't happen immediately, but after about 2 sim days. Now all my out of season plants are just little brown lumps. Is this a bug or a feature? My sim's garden is her entire income, so all her plants being out of action is a big blow.
I have noticed when you install a patch, it has a tendency to "reset" things. This is why all of the out-of-season plants turned back into lumps. As they hit their season they will grow and then remain the same as they were before, the full greenhouse effect working again. If you don't want to wait for them to be in season again you can cheat them to blossoming.
Once they have bloomed they shouldn't go back to lumps again.
I started a new save game with mine, and the greenhouse effect is definitely working but all of them were new plants, nothing that was planted before the patch was installed.
A side note: I had a funny glitch where Sim was at work before I installed the patch, and then once I installed it it still showed her as being at work but she was physically at the house and able to go around doing things autonomously. She didn't revert to normal until her shift ended and was no longer greyed out, during as at work.
