Sheltered plants

I gave up on greenhouses. I use this mod.

Sheltered plants produce less harvestables than outdoor plants. Sheltering is useful if you want to have out-of-season plants produce harvestables all year.

The best thing is to move them out during their season and then inside when it isn’t. This isn’t a glitch.

I disagree that sheltered plants will give the same produce. At least in the past it was intended that most plants would either give less crops/flowers per harvest when sheltered (I think regardless of season), or it could grow produce only while in season but would then give a better amount. Most of my farming sims grow plants unsheltered, because it's kind of good knowing each specie will take a break. I want to do other stuff with my sims than just gardening. I have no idea which method will produce the most over a full year, but money wise that will of course also depend on quality. Some plants can occasionally get "set back" during freezing temperatures, I had a few Winter plants outdoors producing less on very cold days (can't remember which plant it was, probably a vegetable).

All my experiences were from before the ECO pack, though, things might have changed.

One thing you should know if you have the lot trait 'Great Soil' and plan to transfer plants in season outside from planter boxes in a greenhouse. That lot trait, in my experience, only works on plants in planter boxes. You'll see the soil in those sparkling when it's doing it's thing. I've taken plants from planter boxes in a greenhouse and planted them in the ground outside when in season, and they didn't grow as well as in the planter boxes. However, if you put them outside in the planter boxes, they'll get the lot trait benefits and grow more produce while in season.

Others may have had a different experience, but that's what I've discovered across multiple saves with my Sims' gardens. I hope this is helpful. :)

I have two indoor gardens and the main benefit is that you don't care about which season it is and it can be VERY important. The only (If memory serves) plant that grows anytime is Plasma Tree, so yes - there is a very solid incentive to grow plans indoors. Would recommend to anyone.

That's the Gardening glitch.

oh not heard of it, its supposed to grow 10 flowers even inside then?

Yup. After I got Seasons back in 2018, I learned to keep my plants in the house or build a green house for the plants.
I was even able to have my sims graft multiple flowers, multiple fruits, multiple vegetables & multiple herbs.
Unfortunately, after I got Discover University the plants didn't work so well.
