Hi again.
Is gardening in the spring the best way to avoid dormant plants? Is it a bad idea to garden in winter? And speaking of dormant plants, is there a way to revive dormant plants? The Sim that I plan to have garden has mastered the gardening skill.
I've never paid much attention to the gardening skill.

I don't think it matters when you plant. When the temperature rises above freezing the plants will continue their life cycle. For a long time in one of my games I noticed that occurred around 5am.
Eventually the plant will die when it's grown all the harvestables it will ever produce and your only option will be to dispose of it. I don't think dormancy affects how many harvestables that will be.
The only way to avoid dormant plants is to grow them indoors using planters, soil rugs, or just on the ground. If you move a dormant plant indoors it should go back to normal the next morning or (supposedly) the next time you load your game.
that's unfortunate.
Edit: I might just disable winter because I want this Sim to garden and I don't want winter interfering with that plan.
I have gardening station, but this will not push all plants in the next growth state (for me don't work ex.: money tree) and tractor too (but sometimes I need to work only at one plant). Debug enabler is also checking validity of my tractor tracks without unpausing game. thank you for this observation, I'll try it too: some plants were dormant in my game too with original fixed store greenhouse (now I'm modyfiing greenhouse roof pieces for to be visible in map view and I can't say, how it will work after).
Sorry for editing my comments frequently, in most cases I'm doing this due language issues (english isn't my native language, but I'm using english, because most used by people, with who I want to communicate).
@SmileySimmer, I think you're thinking about TS4 Seasons EP as TS3 Seasons EP don't have the glass roof pieces... Plus this is an old TS3 thread about the plants going dormant and was created before this site was even created...
The Sims 3 store has a greenhouse that players can buy to have a greenhouse. Or they could just build their own greenhouse using the soil rugs and the glass floor tiles that came with the Into the Future EP.
