This is the stuff that isn't new harvestables or Seasons-specific:
- Evolve happens immediately and is now only 5 levels
- You can sell all harvestables right off the plants, and the higher your gardening skill, the bigger the area this covers
- Higher gardening skill = bigger area covered by telling your Sim to do something to plants, eg. water/weed (evolve is still one plant at a time)
But we don't know 100% for sure what's in the patch for the system till tomorrow.
The pack also has plants that are in season in different seasons, and if they're protected, they can grow in other seasons.

They haven't gotten rid of evolve but there are now just five levels of evolution, instead of the previous 10.
Changes-
- Addition of Sprinklers
- Some plants will have a dormant season. If plants aren't exposed to the elements and sheltered, they will grow out of season too.
- With higher levels of gardening you can tend to bigger areas of plants at once ( while watering and weeding)
- You can now super sell harvestables.
- Bees will pollinate nearby plants and you can forge a relationship with your hive. You can also direct your hive to do your bidding...

There's also the change to the UI for plants -- instead of the flower with varying numbers of petals and smiling/crying, there'll just be a status bar for the plant. Should be a little bit clearer what condition your plant is in.

So this is all in the patch we get tomorrow, not Seasons?

Never knew the petals changed but I did notice the smiling. So it’s good they changed that.

Changes-

The beekeeper box will only be available in Seasons and I believe the new harvestables also only come with Seasons.

Base Game Changes/Additions
Water All – Sims can now water more than one plant at a time.
Weed All – Sims can weed more than one plant at a time.
Super Sell – Sims can harvest and sell all plants in one interaction.
Evolution – Plants will now have 5 levels of evolution and they can be clearly identified by hovering over a plant. Evolving is now an immediate action.
I'm wondering what will happen to current gardens. I play 21 households and they all have gardens; I really hope they won't have to start all over as the majority of the plants are currently "Perfect".
I've wanted greenhouses for a long time I can't wait for this the thing is most of my sims live in apartment buildings and there's only one appartment in the city where a greenhouse might work . Decisions Decisions
Ohh "research" is a new option too. Good for sims that you don't get computers for I guess..
Just had to add this is really nice with the flowering trees and the new research animations. I hope it doesn't flub up the end of the aspiration.
I hope I'm not getting ahead of myself here, but I think they dealt with UFO plant. When I sent my sim to the community garden (one I have been working on for ages), I noticed the UFO plant was a beautiful blue, not something that looked like it was all dried up.
The only things I'm not enjoying about the new gardening. Is I wish I could set planters to sell vs collect. Collect my flowers and spliced plants and sell all fruits, veggies, and herbs.
And how slow the evolve is. I'm almost a level 10 gardener (started at zero after patch) and none of my plants are ready to evolve to the 2nd level.
I like the fact that you can hit evolve and they don't need to walk over to the plant but wish they had added an evolve all button or at least evolve within an area of effect, a bit like the sell produce option. Bit tedious clicking them one by one if you have a farm lot like I do.
So is there no longer a way to tell what the "spliced plant" is now? I splice everything to save space. Before, I could tell what was spliced together by hovering over top of the plant. I can no longer do that. If I want to harvest a specific vegetable, I have to guess now? That is annoying.

Never played a game with the bees before so that’ll be interesting.

What’s the difference between Sell All and Super Sell?

> Can we still garden inside if we don't use the glass roofs?
I've always been able to garden inside apartments. Not trees, but plants in planters. But they never got real sunlight, but grew anyway.
And how slow the evolve is. I'm almost a level 10 gardener (started at zero after patch) and none of my plants are ready to evolve to the 2nd level.
