Re: [NEEDS INFO] In-Season Plants revert to dirt piles (Patch 1.68)

★ Apprentice

I am having this problem too, as well as with all harvestables! They randomly revert to their dirt piles/initial growing stages. Extremely frustrating, as gardening is a very important part of my gameplay and the primary means by which my families accumulate wealth. 

 

I am flummoxed and more than a little dismayed as to why this hasn't been addressed in the most recent patch??

Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? I only have one save with a cowplant, but it happens all the time in that one
What is your current game version number? most recent? I have the cc collabs if that helps any
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Cats & Dogs, My 1st Pet (came in a bundle with cats and dogs), Seasons, Tiny Living
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? plant a cowplant and grow it completley. At some point after you save and leave the game, it goes back to horns. 
What happens when the bug occurs? The cowplant turns back into horns and starts to re-grow, but you can still feed it and see the drool. You can play with it as well, but can't eat the cake. 
What do you expect to see? My cowplant stays a big cowplant and doesn't turn into baby horns

Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? I'm a console player so no Frown 
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? I don't think so. Maybe after the pre-birthday present patch... If that was a thing

I had this happen a few times now, not just because of recent update. The reset debug shift+click option only works 50/50, sometimes it restores the cowplant to full size and it works, other times it restores to full size but freezes the cowplant in statue like formation. You can continue clicking 'reset debug' on the statue/frozen cowplant and only a small portion of the time it fixes the problem, rest of the time you're left with a cowplant that doesn't move. You can interact with the frozen/statue cowplant but it never produces the cake option, when you play/feed/pet in frozen state it will animate for that action then go back to frozen. You can leave it for weeks and it never dies but what's the fun in owning an immortal cowplant that doesn't do anything?!

As another poster mentioned, it's when I use super-sell near the plant, but also when the Cow Plant is like "ready to evolve" but we never see the option to do so. I noticed its quality would go up a stage when I hovered over it from when it devolved to the sprouted horn stage to grown again. I fixed it each time it shrank easily; I don't remember if "reset sim" cheat or whatever, but I'd say during the course of a sim year or so I had it happen probably 5+ times.

 

Potentially erroneous data, but as another poster mentioned I'm also having other plants (only certain ones at certain times; it will happen to the same plant often) revert to a lump of dirt. It could be related, could be a whole separate issue, I'll make a bug report about it if I feel like I can get more data on it.

 

It happened most notably on my super micro home (the one where plant growth is doubled or whatever) in Sulani
I'll try to replicate this and share a save if I can.

Mine did this too, just now. I was advised to cheat/reset it, or to go into build mode to move it. I tried the cheat/reset and that worked perfectly, it's back to normal. BUT, it is for sure a bug I also experienced.
