Weeds!!! My Sims garden is covered in weeds! I have a gardener & tip him & stuff but they're getting worse, is there any way of getting rid of them apart from my sim picking them all???
Does your gardener try to get to them, and then wave his arms around like an idiot and complain about something being in the way? If so, then you may have a "fence" type object blocking his path. If that's not the case, then you should just murder your gardner and then hire a new one.
if you have to cleam them yourself then try going into buy mode and try to move them to the same location so there is less walking and time involved. though this may not work. otherwise try moving your sims out and then move them back in, that may get rid of them, but it also may not
Weeds can be deleted. Many times weeds are caused by too much watering. Check you haven't got a broken sink that is leaking water ...
Can your Sim pick them? If the gardener can't then your Sim may not be able to pick them either. I've noticed that those little fences which in the real world are used to edge gardens don't let the gardener into the area to be weeded. They won't step over them but want to go around, even though the "fence" is only a couple of inches tall. So, I don't recommend those for anything that requires weeding or trimming unless you have a lawn that the gardener can get to on at least one side. And as Mirelly says, overwatering can cause weeds (as can ghosts who were drowning victims.) Overwatering can also kill the poor things, and the gardener doesn't replace them or remove them. You have to do that in buy/build. But the dead flower plot will generate weeds just fine.
Another reason this may be happening is because the gardener doesn't come by enough, so as a result, is fighting a losing battle against your garden. Various hacks can address this, either by eliminating weeds, or by causing the gardener to come by more often so he can actually handle a large garden.
MTS2 isn't coming up today. (I swear that they're down about as much as the official site!) But I'm looking forward to that one myself. It seems like the gardener is always there about a day later than I would like them to be. (Their 3 times a week is screwy! They always come, say the garden looks fine, then the moment they leave the bushes need trimming and they don't come back for 3 more days! And if you are preparing for the headmaster's visit, it's not a cool thing to not have the gardener there when there's a problem.)
Hey the daily gardners a great idea. Thanks I've tried deleting the weeds but can't, can't even move them & I tipped the gardner loads thinking it would help. I dowloaded the daily gardner but how do I get him into the game???
