Watering plants

I don't have Seasons and I haven't been able to do anything but Harvest since the patch.

Mine have needed watering, and weeding, at least the plants in my greenhouse. I'm having the darndest time trying to evolve them though. I have to fertilize like mad to get progress on them.

Yeah, I noticed that too. It took a few days between waterings before they needed watering again. It must've been an intentional apart of the overhaul so that large gardens aren't so tedious to care for. And honestly, I like it better that way.

It seems that since the new patch, my sims no longer need to water the plants. Its been a few sim days and several harvests and still the water option is grayed out. Anyone else confirm this? Is this a new feature added, or is this by design?

Has it been raining in your game? The devs said any rain will water plants too.

I am not having any problems with my plants - but my sim just has a few tulips, some catnip, and a few others so far.My sim only had to water them twice as there has been a bit of rain the last 3 sims days so all she had to do was harvest all and evolve all. I am playing my Seasons at 28 days each - and started with Spring. It's still Spring.

Has this been fixed? My plants still don’t need watering.

I had the same issue but then I figured it was because of frequent rain (my spring is very rainy)

Other than that I'm not seeing any problems with gardening.

I'm still having this problem, they still need weeding, I can fertilize, graft, take cuttings, research, harvest, and everything else to do with plants, but I planted a small garden in planter boxes, and I water them once after I plant them (some don't even need that), and then I never have to do it again. I also don't have seasons.

+1 for still having this problem.

I do not have Seasons. Therefore, it has never rained in my Sims game. 6 plants in the garden on the Legacy lot, planted on the first day or two of the Legacy. Founder is now about to die (97 days+ old). About a week into the Legacy, the Seasons update came out. Since then, for 90+ days, she has never had to water her plants. She has to fertilize, weed, can research, etc. But never has to water.

While she is gardening when I zoom in, the plants look like they are dripping with water. So the game clearly thinks they have been watered, even when they have not been for days and days.

If you have Seasons, try puting a bee box in your greenhouse; supposedly crocuses keep them calm so if you have a crocus plant put it next to the bee box. The bees will pollenate the plants and help with the evolution.

I've only had to water the ones in the greenhouse, but I have sprinklers for the outside (had them before Seasons with a mod by BrazenLotus). Sprinklers don't work indoors so it's back to hand watering, but I only have my flowers indoors.

i'm still having this problem, they never need water. i noticed that whenever i load a game, the plants will automatically be dripping as if just watered though.

i don't have seasons either, just the seasons patch that broke it. they said they fixed it, but no.
