too cold to plant?

I will sometimes not be allowed to plant in my "greenhouse" because it's "too cold to plant". I thought if I have an enclosed garden that I will be able to garden in any season? My garden is fully walled in and has a ceiling. What's up with that?

    Does your green house have a floor in it? It needs a floor and planter boxes in order to qualify as 'sheltered' otherwise, the plants seem to pretend they are outside.
  • Hello
    Try moving your whole mods folder to the desktop. Then test to see if the issue remains,
    If the issue remains, you may like to post feedback on this AHQ EA thread. SinsGuruIcarus is asking for save files of simmers who are having this issue in their game.

  • I have even placed that stand alone fireplace from JA in one of my greenhouses.

    yup, I didn't take out the floor and everything is in planter boxes.

    I can try that. thanks!
  • I tried the fireplace and putting the thermostat to warm. Still says it was "too cold to plant". But it's a mute issue at the moment, I got rid of the greenhouse to make more room in the house. My story was that my chef sim would plant his own herbs, fruit, and veggies but I was just over it. But thanks!

    I am having problems planting in a greenhouse I built in the winter too. Is this a bug or is it supposed to be this way? I thought that was the whole idea of building a green house. I have a floor, clear windows, clear doors, and plants in boxes. And I have never used mods or custom content.
