Re: Plants reverting to dirt pile after fertilizing

★★★ Novice

Which packs do you own ?: Growing Together, Eco Lifestyle, Get Together, Get to Work, University, Pets, Seasons, City Living, Cottage Living, Dine Out, Magic, Knitting, Laundry, Tiny Living, Vintage Glam, Desert Luxe, Paranormal

 

Which plants are affected ?: Every plant I have access to with these packs. The only one I haven't tested is UFO plant and maybe some Island living plants. Seems to happen slightly less often with out of season trees.

 

Does it happen after fertilizing or what's the trigger for you ?: No idea what the trigger is. Happens most often when leaving and reloading lot, but also at random and also doesn't always effect every plant.will also recert plants almost every time if you see harvestable at 5 am and don't harvest by 7 am

 

Were those new plants or plants planted before the patch? Has happened both to plants planted before and after update.

 

If you have Seasons: Are the plants sheltered/inside ?

Happens to both sheltered and non sheltered plants 

 

If you have Seasons: Are the plants in Season ?

Yes; sometimes the game thinks plants are out of season if they're placed from inventory and were out of season when placed in inventory btw, but that's a different issue.

 

Are you using mods/cc ?

Master Commander 

 

What's your game Version ?

Most current--has consistently happened over multiple updates.

 

What lot type are you playing on ?

Cottage Living neighborhood, wild foxes, geothermal, childsplay, off the grid

 

If you own ECO, does it happen when the footprint changes ? If not, what's your current footprint ?

Current footprint is green, but this happened at the same rate on neutral 

 

Are you getting any LastException files in your doc folder when the revert happens ? No

 

Are you using a bee box ? Outdoors yes, indoors no. Happens to both. 

 

What kind of fertilizer have you been using ? Does it happen to plants that have never been fertilized ? Stopped using fertilizer because I'm constantly resetting the damn plants with cheats to address this. Still happens

Garden goes back to dirt piles everytime I load the game

★★★ Newbie

I noticed everytime I go back to play Sims my garden has turns into a bunch of dirt piles. I play on the ps4 and I have no extras. I'm getting pretty irritated with this and wondering if I want to even play anymore...

Does this thread mean there will actually be a patch for the dirtpile issue cause I wasnt sure if that thread was from an actual developer or not.  Will it be patched for ps4 as well?

Betreff: Garden goes back to dirt piles everytime I load the game

★★ Guide

I'm not sure if this hack will work for console but you can try it and see.  This is the hack I use for PC. 

 

"Use shift + left click on the plant (aka dirt pile) it will give you many options for the growth state, choose "set growth state" then "blossoming."  It can be tedious if you have a lot of plants, but as long as you do it before 5am the next day you will continue to span harvest."

 

To add to this, I have never played on console so I'm not sure what shift would be. If you have a keyboard that you can hook up to the console, that would be a lot easier.

 

Now to add to this make sure "testingcheatsenabled true" is on if it's not on.  My game has it enabled automatically so sometimes I forget.  Let me know how it goes.  It's not a permanent fix but it's a workaround that may help until Sims team gets the fix for this but again use at your own risk.

This should have been fixed years ago instead of us having to do workarounds.

For people who have huge gardens trying to make lots of Simoleans and large quantities of plants are reverting back to dirt piles they can also build rooms over the plants then reverse/undo action 9/10 the plants will respawn to normal. This worked extremely well for me and I only had some issues with a few trees or a few individual plants here and there.

Garden plants now should remain as plants instead of sometimes crumbling into piles of dirt. Be strong and live your best life, garden buds!

Fixed in Patch 1.101.290/1.81

 

 

Please be aware that there are many reasons for plants turning into dirt piles. It's possible that not all causes are fixed. If you still see this, please make a new thread with as many details as possible on what you did.

 

This specific cause is still open: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/S-Plant-reverts-to-dirt-pile-if-Sim-is-on-a-different-lot-when...

 

There's also feedback needed for these two issues
