No Water For Plants?

[Rainbow Dash]

I started a new game with a new Sim with the Freelance Botanist Aspiration when the Spring Challenge was announced. My Sim got some Growfruit seeds from Jasmine Holiday, bought some other seeds and planted them and her little garden is coming along nicely. 

However I have noticed that about 2-3 Sim days into my game there has never been an option to water plants, when I hover over them, it just says that these plants don't need water. Kind of weird as in past games plants have needed watering daily. My garden seems fine and I can do everything else, fertilize, evolve, harvest etc and my plants seem happy. I don't really mind but I am wondering what is happening, lol.

Is anyone else finding their plants don't need water? Just wondering.

Fourth day into my game and only one plant needs watering, I have just noticed that none of plants need weeding either. Any reason for this?

Are you talking about growfruit?  Or all your plants?

All of my plants, even the wild plants I have harvested and planted are doing the same, their mood hasn't changed either, they have all been happy for the past 4 Sim days. My Growfruit tree has been shining since I planted it too, not sure if it's meant to do that or not. 

While it's nice to not have as much work to do in the garden, it's also valuable gardening experience my Sim is missing out on.

My plants have needed watering but 6 days into a brand new game and still no weeding! I do know that once your sim skills up to L7 in gardening that plants stay watered a little longer and weeding is a little more effective, but I haven't had plants not needing any weeding before, not even with the Super Green Thumb reward trait.

It doesn't seem to be a bug in the sense that gardening is 'broken' rather just a change to the frequency of watering/wedding. I'm not really sure what is going on.

Grow Fruit trees will glow and then become harvestable so at least that is 'normal'!

My Sim has only just hit level 4 in gardening and the plants have been like this from day 1. I did give her the Super Green Thumb reward by cheats on the second day though. :/ Wow, no weeding for 6 days, that's quite a long time!

Hmm... giving the reward has probably caused the lack of watering/wedding then. I say 'probably' as I'm just guessing.  Yeah, I thought 6 days was pushing it, hopefully next time I play there will be some weeds. Often just saving, quitting and restarting your game is enough to clear weird game glitches.

My plants need watered just fine but I've also noticed a lack of need for weeding.  Spray for bugs seems to be working fine though as that crops up but not weeding at all.
