Re: [S] Plant reverts to dirt pile if Sim is on a different lot when season chan

@babajayne I did some further testing on your save and found something interesting.

I played on for another week so season changes from Fall to winter. At this point, you have another plant that gets from out-of-seaons to in seasons.

If I'm on another lot when the season changes, the exact same thing happens, now that plant turns to dirt piles.

There seem to be three season status a plant can have

- Dormant
- Out of season
- In Season.

So far from what I can tell, plants have the following status (need to verify further)

- In Seasons Plants: In Season
- Out of Season trees: Out of Season
- Out of Seasons non-tree plants: Dormant.

 

This makes sense as outside trees don't become dirt piles while plants do when they are not in season. There must be another check that checks if a plant is sheltered or not, to decide what you actually visually see.

Now, the interesting part is, that if I set that plant from dormant to out-of-seasons, then travel and stay on another lot for the season change and then come back, it doesn't revert to a dirt pile.

So, is the status for dormant actually a bug and it should always be out-of-season ?

(@littleMsSam made a mod that let you check the status)

 

EDIT: changed some details.
