Trying to water a garden plot with ps4 controller

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.

Garden plots seem to have a higher range on the distance you can target them from, but yeah if you found yourself targeting a plot in another yard, it was technically in your actual view or to be more fair, the camera's view. That being said, can you even do stuff to other people's gardens that aren't part of your FC? If not, they should remove the option to target other gardens entirely

Yeah, my point was that the camera's view, in this case, is definitely not aligned with the player's view. Some housing objects can be targeted through, for example, leading to numerous cases where it seems as if there is nothing selectable on the player's screen, yet d-pad targeting will find things the player can't see because of certain walls/other objects obscuring player's view but not camera's, etc. Furthermore, the lack of proximity sensing on the d-pad targeting (and I believe also the tab targeting on PC?) is pretty crazy sometimes. Ending up targeting something half-way across the screen over something less than an "inch" from your character simply because the thing in the distance was one more pixel to the screen's left is quite annoying.

I believe you can water other people's plants, but not harvest them? Not 100% on this though; every house around mine has gardening plots--but no one ever actually gardens. XD
