📋 About This Mod
With this mod, all Cottage Living plants (blueberrys, raspberrys, mushrooms) will grow throughout the year except for the winter Season. This is the Cottage Living part of my modular plant growth overhaul called plantsdodormantinwinter. All modules can be used on their own and mixed and matched however you like. Required Packs: Cottage Living Compatiblity: Will conflict with any mod that alters these tuning files: all object_GardeningPlant_Bush/Flower/Tree/Tuber_(BaseGame plant) tuning files and all object_GardeningPlant_Bush/Flower/Tree/Tuber_(BaseGame plant)_(public_)garden tuning files from the Cottage Living pack Creator website: https://www.seebee.de/sims4me/
This mod makes all Cottage Living plants go dormant during winter, preventing growth in that season while allowing growth in spring, summer, and fall. It's for players seeking more realistic seasonal gardening in The Sims 4. The mod is simple and focused, with no extra features.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds realism by making winter a true off-season for gardening.
- Lightweight mod that doesn't bloat your game.
- Easy to understand and use—no configuration needed.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects Cottage Living plants, not base game or other packs.
- May conflict with other gardening mods that alter plant growth.
- No option to toggle winter dormancy on/off in-game.
This is for Sims 4 players who want a more challenging or realistic gardening experience, where winter forces you to plan ahead. It's also great for storytellers who enjoy seasonal gameplay changes. If you prefer year-round harvesting, this mod isn't for you.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Stock up on canned goods or indoor plants before winter hits.
- Use a greenhouse or indoor planters if you want to keep gardening during winter.
- Plan your harvests so you have enough produce to last through the dormant season.
