Ever since the last patch, I'm having the same issue as VIRULICHT. I've tried taking cuttings from home-grown plants, wild ones and even from the debug ones – nothing seems to work. I do use some custom content, but this doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem, since clearing my mods folder didn't have an effect on it at all. Deleting the caches and repairing the game also didn't help.
It's a pity, I always liked gardening most.

Why has this not been fixed yet?! This bug is literally THE reason I stopped playing! And every time I log back in to see if Gardening has been debugged, I find out that they got it working again for a few days before it started bugging again! It's a serious problem when players who hate the idea of cheating are actually considering doing it just to make the game playable! I apologize for my tone, but this is REALLY upsetting!
If I take a cutting from a wild plant in my area, not only does the cutting leave the original plant information blank so I can't graft it to anything, but the plant I took the ONE cutting from IMMEDIATELY DIES! And if I try to take cuttings from other areas, the cutting just becomes a generic "Garden Cutting" the second I travel back home!!! This is really, REALLY frustrating because basically the main reason I play is to do gardening, and its the one thing that doesn't seem to be working! Can someone please please tell me how to get this working again?! I am running a clean, unmodded game with everything but the "kids stuff" pack. I've tried deleting all old savegames and even doing a complete re-install, but nothing is working.

Unfortunately, I haven't seen any workarounds to this. There might be a mod out there that fixes it.
Do you have the same issues with home-grown plants or do these work ?
Good Luck

After recently purchasing Sims 4 with the latest update and playing with no problems with the grafting action, my sims can no longer graft onto plants.
They perform the whole action and the option is still there but the plant never changes and the cutting remains in the inventory.
Can someone help?

I recently purchased Sims 4 and one of the first skill I tried to learn was gardening. I attempt to grow the Death Flower but this bug has prevented me from going anywhere. I can only use the cuttings from the plants I grew from the Starter Seed Packets. All cuttings from wild plants are unspecified and unusable. I only have the original The Sims 4 without any expansions if that matters.

My sims cant graft on any plants. She goes to do the action and either Ts or just resets her postion. ive tried it on many plants and made sure nothing would block her from grafting but she still will not graft.

Player: EuphorialQueen
New Sims 4 folder / Zero Mods / Zero CC
All EPs, GPs, SPs and the latest Patches.
This is a new save started after installing Vampire EP.
Game checked for updates and Repair done before opening to play from where I left off.
Issue: (Known) Plants spawned at Festival show Good quality until harvested then revert to Normal quality.
Issue: (Added) Unable to splice plants. Was able to collect cuttings but they generically labeled "Spliced Garden Shoot Plant shoot taken from: (blank)". Or "Spliced Garden Shoot A cutting from a garden plant used for grafting."
Sim exhibits the grafting animation but there is no change and there is no evidence of the plant being spliced.
**The plants I am trying to splice to might be strawberries from the Festival.
Some of the cuttings are from Wolfsbane and the Plasma Tree in Forgotten Hollow.

Hi @Stevure
merged your post
Grafting is currently a bit bugged. Especially if you graft from wild plants.
Did you graft from wild plants ?
@EuphorialQueen Moved your post. Sounds more like this issue
Good Luck
