I don't even have that mod installed and I have this problem anyway
Tested with mods on and off, no difference. Happens both with game and CC plants except for plants introduced with Cottage Living, these seem to be doing fine. Other plants keep dying for no reason, sometimes immediately after being watered or weeded. Most of the time they don't show the green cloud for me.
The funniest thing though is that the trees NEVER have these issues, I have them all in absolutely perfect quality, however NONE of them had any harvest for whole sim year.
I am super disappointed since my farm was supposed to be mostly about harvestables and now they're just a pain in my ***

What is the point? So if its the mods I just delete them all? It is obvious to me that it's the stupid updates that has caused this. This has ruined the game for me and I am done

This problem is absolutely fascinating and infuriating to me.
It must be something in the game that modifies plants in some way, but it's so odd to me how it's affecting everybody's games differently, or not at all (in some cases).
I can swear up and down that on my computer, with my files, with my game data, this problem is 100% being triggered by the mod 'All Year Plants' but I have no idea why. Other people report using this mod with no issues. I know my copy of the mod is up-to-date and was installed correctly. I also know that people are expiriencing this issue without this mod, without ever using this mod, or without having ever used any mods at all. Furthermore the types of plants this problem affects seems completely random from game to game. One person might say "it doesn't affect spinach" and another person say "in my game it does affect spinach." Some people say repairing the game works, and some say it doesn't. Some people have all the packs, some people have none of the packs. And some people have just never encountered this problem at all.
I do know that for cc plants the creators have been able to update them to not have this problem anymore, so maybe some answers can be found there?

Weirdly, a few CC plants keep doing that even after being updated
I got mad with having to reset my plants with a cheat a few times a day, so I started discarding the ones that withered. Turned out the problem was only with these specific plants because others do not die. Still not producing any harvestables though.
I will try to plant some stuff again to see which plants seem to be affected by the dying problem.

Underlining, I have the excatly same problem. My garden died after the latest patch.

Yes it's random plants for me, some die, some are fine. I hope they fix this soon as I am sure it's updates doing this. Sometimes it's CC plants, sometimes not. It's made the game unplayable, sadly.

It was the plants from Icemunmun that were the problem. There was an update for them and I had to redownload every one of them individually, and now it seems to have worked and it's no longer a problem. Hope this helps people.

Okay, I had to start a new game because of this other bug unrelated to the gardening issue. When I did so, I also went through and cleaned out my mods folder (since I was testing mods anyway, I figured I may as well sort through them and get rid of anything outdated or that I just didn't really want/need anymore). In the new save file, I'm not having the gardening issue. Though it's possible that it's just because it's a clean save, I suspect that the gardening glitch might have been due to an older mod I had installed: coolspears' Garden Plants for Most Seasons/Master Gardener mod. I removed it from my mods folder before I started this new save, and so far my plants are behaving normally. I did later replace it with a different mod - gettp's Gardening for All Seasons - which was recently updated and confirmed compatible with the current patch, and the bug hasn't reappeared.
So if anyone in this thread is using any sort of mod that relates to gardening, plants, etc., I recommend playing without that mod installed and seeing if the problem resolves. If so, maybe opt for gettp's mod (or some other gardening mod that has been recently updated). It might clear up the issue.

The issue didn't change for me at all even when I started a clean save without any mods.
I am also using Icemunmun's harvestables but I updated all of them immediately after they were uploaded and that was even before I started the game with CoL freshly installed. So I am pretty sure in my case it's caused by the game itself, not the mods :/
