I have a mailbox with flowers that still have colour but they are at the edge of the lot and not touching the house. The plants I have touching the walls and on the patio have become almost grey. They used to be, and are supposed to be, really colourful.

  • This seems normal to me. All plants from the build catalogue will change according to the Season as well as the plants in the Worlds. The mailbox is an item rather than a plant and I don't think it does ever change colors with the Seasons. If you change the season to summer the plants should also appear brighter etc.

    @sinisteraspberry Did some testing in my game and it looks fine even after reloading.

    What's your graphics card and what settings do you have your graphics on ?

    Which season are you playing, does that matter ?

    What season were you in. My plants have all become desaturared, but I am in spring and thought that springtime was normally when they are colourful. 

  • @evanilla20 sorry i dont remember, but probably autumn or winter.. that sounds like either a different problem or just maybe summer is the most colourful, idk
