Trying to water a garden plot with ps4 controller

Couldn't be further from the truth. it selects what you're facing, and then goes in order from there. should be able to start at bottom right, then go up and down the rows in order, done it hundreds of times, its always in order. Again, it goes based of your character like any other targeting in the game.should be able to dpad all plants in order.

I can confirm that it does, in fact, go in order--but that the "order" includes all selectable items, even those which are not actually visible to the player and not prioritizing proximity. I have an absolutely hilarious video clip saved somewhere of my character perfectly facing a row of plants with no other clickable objects in my actual view... Only to d-pad and end up targeted to the garden plots of a distant neighboring home, behind two different walls and not even on level with my house's garden.

The only way I've ever been able to even remotely make watering plots close to painless on a PS4 was to angle the camera completely top-down to absolutely block out anything and everything else that might be clickable, and even then, unless you actively move either character or camera to face each desired row of plants individually, it's entirely possible that you will target the plant in the back rather than the one directly in front of your character. It's laughably bad compared to just clicking with a mouse.

So I just force FC mates/tenants on PC to water my plants for me. Problem solved!
