Sims 4 Gardening issue: Won't let Sim spray bugs/weed plants

[Luckyissara]

So I'm having a weird bug here. My Gardener, who is an Adult can not garden normally. There are plants that I have that are out of season and they need to be weeded and sprayed from the bugs to go away. But my Sim can not do it, as there's no option to do it.

I updated my mods and Curseforge is showing no mods to be needing updated.

I submitted a picture to show what it's says/looks like

@Luckyissara I merged your post with existing report.

Make sure to click me too on the first post.

I am also having this problem. I cannot weed, water, fertilise or evolve plants that are out of season. But some of them need weeding and look like they need watering

hi @sheridanhoughton this happened to me as well and the work around i found was to shelter the plants and then i was able to attend to their needs

i have also noticed the plants that did get stuck with the change of season onced i fixed their issues i could put them back outdoors and they remained dormant as intended

[sheridanhoughton]

Thanks for the answer. I will certainly give it a try.

thanks

thanks for your suggestion about sheltering the plants.

I bought a greenhouse and put the out of season plants in planter boxes inside, but there are still no options to care for them.

Started having this issue as well ever since the latest patch, and it occurs on both console and PC. FYI, another workaround if you happen to have Spellcasters in your game, their gardening spell does still work on the weeds even when no option appears to tend the garden manually.

So recently, with some plants, if they're not in season I can't do anything with them. I can't weed, water, spray bugs, or evolve them. I cant do anything with them. I can uproot them, but that's it. Dose anyone else have this problem? If so how can I fix it, or is it a bug? Let me know. Thanks

@Bunny_Blunk 

There was some sort of a change with the patch prior to For Rent that started this.  I am seeing the same things you describe.  I don't think there is anything we players can do about it.  I have found though, if you have other in season plants close by that need care, if you use the tend all, water all, or weed all options that the sim will take care of the out of season plants too.  And you can always move the plants to be under a shelter, then they can be tended and will bear harvestables year-round.

Hope this helps.

@Bunny_Blunk Also, if you happen to have the ROM pack and have any spellcasters in your current game, their Floralorial spell bypasses this issue.
