Is gardening completely broken right now
Hi all Been a say for a while and now starting a new game thinking that gardening has been updated and improved. But I can only water the plants once after I have planted the seed. Then that’s it....

I don't have Seasons and I don't plan to get it for quite a while.
I've started several test games since Seasons came out and it's been interesting to see how that EP has affected a non-Seasons game. I've had Sims plant fast growing and slow growing plants. I've had Sims use various types of fertilizer to see if anything speeds up the process. So far, it's just tediously slow. Ever since Seasons came out, plants take a lot longer to need anything. You water them once and it seems like they never need to be watered again but they're always dripping.
Recently I had a Sim start the Freelance Botanist aspiration in another new game. It's always been one of the first aspirations that I have new Sims work on. While my Sim waited for his plants to need anything or do anything, he finished five other aspirations - The Curator, Painter Extraordinaire, Bodybuilder, Nerd Brain, and Fabulously Wealthy. Still waiting on his plants to do something, I had him start Bestselling Author, Archaeology Scholar, Angling Ace, and Jungle Explorer. He's almost finished with Renaissance Sim.
Just before I closed the game this afternoon, I saw weeds sprout in his garden (oh, happy day) which means that bugs will be next. After that, the plants will need fertilizer and then they'll be ready to evolve. And then the waiting game starts again.
