Will the Gardener Ever Be Fixed? Or is it just me?

KatEnigma:
Yeah, I don't want them to be always perfect, so I have the plastic ones.  ;D If I don't have an excuse for the gardener to come and stay longer than 2 seconds, how could I fulfill all those WooHoo with X Service Sims wants?

but I seem to recall a time when the gardener wasn't too squeamish to walk on the plants so that he could reach those against the house.

My gardeners have always thrown hissy fits when they can't reach plants because they are too close to the house or otherwise obstructed.  Ditto for my Simmies. 

Which is rather stupid since the plants aren't obstructed on all sides.

Bartenders. Call 'em over, and tackle them before they can say "Where's the party?". I haven't seen a gardener since Nightlife, first due to plastic plants and now due to alwaysperfect. Messy-looking plants make things not pretty.

I still use Inge's NoCareFlowers_patch from ages ago, it makes the Maxis flowers decorative.
I prefer it to TJ's because it also prevents butterflies (which I found distracting, particularly when they were oblivious to the walls and would flutter around inside)

Beckett:
Thanks for the input, everyone. Since I have tons of downloads already, I guess I'll go with the perfect plants hack again. I wish there was a cheat that would let you "clean-up" a messy garden. That way, the gardener could come, take care of the plants he/she could reach, stomp and moan about the others, leave, then I'd cheat and fix the rest of them so they didn't die. Oh well, maybe when the next EP comes out they'll bork something that will make gardeners attack plants from all sides again. One can always wish.
