Sprinklers will help a lot when gardening in the Sims 3. They'll allow your Sim to have a larger garden, because one of the steps from tend garden, the watering, is taken care of for you, every morning beginning at four o'clock. Plant your crops around sprinklers to maximize efficiency. In the morning, or before your Sim does their daily gardening routine, click on each of your Sprinklers to water all the plants in your garden. Give them a few seconds, then switch them right back off.

How to use automatic sprinklers
The biggest tip I can give you for gardening in the Sims 3 is that you should try to get your handiness skill to at least level four so that you can make automatic sprinklers. You'll find sprinklers under the outdoor activities tab. Once the sprinkler is placed, select it and try to upgrade. These sprinklers go off every morning and can water a small area.

In the Sims 3, one auto-water sprinkler upgrade can cover a load of plants and save your Sim a lot of time!How to Improve Sprinkler and General Gardening Efficiency
It's best to keep your garden tight together at first so that one sprinkler will do. It's also more efficient for your Sim to harvest when they can constantly be touching another plant without moving too much. Later, with certain abilities learned through the skill journal, you will have less weeds and your fertilizer can last longer. This also helps your garden to be more efficient.
