Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.79.93.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Use a Gardener Bot from Discover University on a lot with a garden that needs tending
What happens when the bug occurs? Gardener Bots mindlessly spray the same plants for bugs for hours or entire days at a time, not moving onto others, or doing so very rarely, or only changing targets after they lose charge and reboot.
What do you expect to see? Gardener Bots should tend to a plant, and move on to the next one.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No
Here is a video of the bug in action. Note that while the video was taken with a mod to make the bots never lose charge or durability, it still happens with no mods installed.

The bots simply spray one plant forever, never moving on to another one. This is 4 bots taking an entire day to do absolutely nothing to just 22 plants. They are clearly not working at all.
