Plants not growing in Greenhouses

Something's weird with plants. I had a bunch of UFOs and they don't produce big harvests anymore... one bud and they stop.

Yeah, everyone is reporting smaller harvests than usual, but we're not sure if its a bug or if they've tweaked the game. I'm hoping its a bug because I used to get 10 of each harvestable when harvesting.

Sounds like a bug then, just one of many to add to the list.

My plants all grow when sheltered, but harvests are much smaller all around. The only issue with greenhouses I've had is that if it's freezing outside I'm told it's too cold to plant, even though it's inside. I've also been unable to plant winter plants outside in winter. I had to plant them inside then move them outside.

I’m having a similar problem. My plants are sheltered but rarely need care. They aren’t growing much either, it’s been about a week and a half since I harvested and still not full. Some plants were in season at the time, so I don’t think that has anything to do with it. Really, plants that are sheltered should grow all year round, right?

My plants are flowers as I am trying to run a flowershop.

All of my greenhouse plants are flowers too, and they grow. Not very fast, but they do grow.

I think I found out why my plants weren't growing. I decided to stay the night at my shop and sure enough they grew and produced flowers. That night I went home and the next day when I went to the shop nothing. Stayed over again and flowers. Guess plants do their growing and producing overnight. Looks like I'll have to move my sim from her apartment to a residents so she'll have room to plant flowers.

Plants will only grow when your sim is on the lot or in the neighborhood surrounding the lot your sim is on. It's the same with wild plants, your sim has to be in the area for them to grow.

The plants harvestables refresh at 5 am now...
So yeah if you’re not on the lot at 5 in the morning, you have no harvestables.

I would read the guide that Carl has posted (http://www.carls-sims-4-guide.com/skills/gardening/). It looks like plants are much more complex now and if you harvest a plant, whether it has one fruit or ten, it resets it's timer. So you need to wait until it is loaded or you will be picking one and waiting longer as opposed to waiting a medium amount of time and picking ten. There are also variable lengths of time for plants to produce - some are longer than others.

I'm a little confused about the plants out in the world... If they restart every time you leave and come back to a new neighborhood, that means you would need to spend several days there before being able to harvest. I'm not going to hang out at a restaurant or a park for a few days. ???
