“Overhaul” makes it sound like something big, it’s not a word that I’d use lightly, I’m hoping for more than just ‘minor tweaks’. Composting would be cool and updated plant meshes would be even better!

To those of you that like to have a garden in the game but find it too time-consuming - create a gardening club (if you have GT) and let the club members do all the hard work for free :mrgreen: BUT! Don't forget to harvest before you call a club meeting, otherwise they'll pinch all your produce too!

I'm guessing, as mentioned above, that plants won't grow indoors anymore without glass roofs, and maybe we'll get the sprinklers in the patch.
I hope not. In real life you can grow plants inside without a greenhouse so there no need to restrict them so heavily in the game. There are some challenge out there that require growing stuff inside and also when you play rags to riches it doesn't make sense for a sim just starting out to need a greenhouse/house with a fancy glass roof they wouldn't be able to afford just to grow plants. Maybe a growth bonus for using the roofs/greenhouse would be fine but I hope they don't do away with the ability to grow inside without them completely.
But plants will die if they're no windows to give them sunlight. So it's really unrealistic that plants even grow in the darkest basement in TS4.
In TS2 and TS3 you could only plant plants outside or in a greenhouse and that's the most realistic decision.
If you want to place plants indoors you could still use the MOO cheat.
They could also add an UV light so that you could grow plants indoors to make it realistic.
I don't like that it doesn't matter in TS4, you can just place plants literally in the darkest basement without lights and they still grow perfectly. That's the depth that's missing in TS4 from TS2 and TS3.

In TS3 I used to grow plants in my basement with no windows using those green plots.

I wanted to do that but it ruins the satisfaction of thinking my sim did this. It ruins the immersion too, and I don’t want to have to call a gardener.
Just one question though, does it make a difference if you use the pot or just soil on the ground to plant?

Do you mean the green plots from Into The Future? We're talking about harvestables not decorative (outdoor) plants. I can't grow any harvestables on these green plots in Into The Future
In fact in TS4 they should reassign the lawn carpet floor tiles to make them able to grow harvestables on them.
