Does temperature affect plants?

Try doing this with a giant field of them!
Honestly, I find giant field of plants equally hard to maintain in summer and winter. I've found somewhere that tomatoes are best planted in summer and harvested in autumn, strawberries are best planted in spring and harvested in summer, etc. but does it do any difference?
Speaking of big fields, do you know what 20-tile field of bug-infested tomatoes can do to your computer? Very slowly craaaawl. Better spray as soon as possible. :)
I wish that temperatures affect various things much more. Plants losing health in winter quicky, so even Sims with golden badge couldn't quite manage that. More differences for outfits, so naked Sim would freeze very rapidly and Sim wearing outerwear would be protected from freezing for a few hours. And why toddlers and babies' temperatures don't change at all? I guess they probably don't have ability to freeze, but let Social Worker snatch them before they do! You would really have to watch your toddlers, so they won't sneak out. It's so easy not to neglect your children now...
Yes, for me the game is far too easy. I'm always looking for a hacks that make it harder.

Strawberry lemonade (2 strawberries, 2 lemons) will give a Sim platinum aspiration. This is quite useful.
Not THAT useful. Consider how long it takes to *GET* strawberries and lemons in the first place. You'd get permaplat first anyway!

Reducing furious may or may not be useful with strawberry juice. Personally, I like Sims kicking over my trashcan, as I can compost the contents.
REDUCING furiousness! The outrage! Besides, kicking a gnome does exactly the same thing and you were gonna do that anyway. Sims kicking the trashcan really is neither good nor bad. Now it's easy to just compost the spilled rubbish...and not bother picking up the can at all. Not even Romulans can capture what has been destroyed.
Hook:
The different planting/harvesting seasons affect the yield of the plant. For example, tomatoes harvested in Winter yield 10 per plant. During Spring and Summer, it's 12 per plant. During Fall, it's 14 per plant. As far as I know, it depends on when you harvest them, not when you plant them, that makes the difference. There seem to be minor variations as well, which may depend on the health of the plant when it was growing.
Before I had a use for the garbage as compost, I'd leave the can on its side. Now I set it back up so it can be kicked again. It's hard enough to get enough compost to keep 40 plots fertilized, so every little bit helps.

pioupiou:
The harvest seasons changes the number of vegetables you get (see Hook's example with tomatoes). In my experiments, the planting seasons changes the starting health of the plants (they get a boost in the right season).
Compost versus fertilizer versus nothing play a role on the number of vegetables you get (you get 14 tomatoes in automn with compost, less with fertilizer, even in automn).
It seems to me that compost gives an extra boost to the starting health, but I'm not positive.
KatEnigma:
The planting season makes a difference in the harvesting season, since they take either 4 or 5 days to mature. If you want to harvest in the peak season, you're best off planting them toward the end of the season before.
