It seems that since the new patch, my sims no longer need to water the plants. Its been a few sim days and several harvests and still the water option is grayed out. Anyone else confirm this? Is this a new feature added, or is this by design?
Played Sims since the original. I can't think of any other game that has so thoroughly captivated my attention.

Has it been raining in your game? The devs said any rain will water plants too.
I am not having any problems with my plants - but my sim just has a few tulips, some catnip, and a few others so far.My sim only had to water them twice as there has been a bit of rain the last 3 sims days so all she had to do was harvest all and evolve all. I am playing my Seasons at 28 days each - and started with Spring. It's still Spring.

Yes it has been fixed. Maybe they don't need if there's a sprinkler.
Other than that I'm not seeing any problems with gardening.
I do not have Seasons. Therefore, it has never rained in my Sims game. 6 plants in the garden on the Legacy lot, planted on the first day or two of the Legacy. Founder is now about to die (97 days+ old). About a week into the Legacy, the Seasons update came out. Since then, for 90+ days, she has never had to water her plants. She has to fertilize, weed, can research, etc. But never has to water.
While she is gardening when I zoom in, the plants look like they are dripping with water. So the game clearly thinks they have been watered, even when they have not been for days and days.
If you have Seasons, try puting a bee box in your greenhouse; supposedly crocuses keep them calm so if you have a crocus plant put it next to the bee box. The bees will pollenate the plants and help with the evolution.
I've only had to water the ones in the greenhouse, but I have sprinklers for the outside (had them before Seasons with a mod by BrazenLotus). Sprinklers don't work indoors so it's back to hand watering, but I only have my flowers indoors.

i don't have seasons either, just the seasons patch that broke it. they said they fixed it, but no.
Might be turning off origin would help. I will try that and see.
Good luck! Hope it starts working for you soon as well. I am not easily frustrated by bugs but this one was very annoying. My sims barely gained the gardening skill without being able to water plants. So I do hope it gets fixed for those its continuing to be an issue with. I think I just got lucky.
