- Directing a Sim to water plants in a garden will no longer cause the Sim to fixate on watering the same plants over and over again, but instead will share the H2O with every plant that’s in need.
Fixed in Patch 1.47.49

Mine are at level 7 and 10 and they're spraying for bugs endlessly as well as watering, and so is my hired gardener. I'm paying him hundreds of dollars a day to spray one plant for 8 hours. If I go to build mode and move the plant, it's suddenly fine but then when the sims get to the next buggy or dry plant it starts all over again.

What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Spooky Stuff
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Plant vegetables indoors in planters
What happens when the bug occurs? Plants grow and have option to water, watering does not actually water plants it eternally cycles.
What do you expect to see? Select water on dried plant and plant is then watered.

Plants not watering properly
June 2018
Actually, I can no longer put my plants close together. The game won't let me. When moving my plants apart trying to get it to stop glitching it just refused - each plant takes up 4 grid squares which means I have a lot less space on my lot. And no, it doesn't help. My sim will walk from a planter box a few squares over to a plant with nothing around it and back to the planter box in an endless loop when trying to tend the garden. The hired gardener will, too.
That said, it's happening less than it was at first (without making any changes) but it still kicks in randomly and I have to keep a close eye on the garden and my sims and the gardener. My sim almost tended the garden completely without hitting the bug, but ended up doing the thing before she was done.
