Same issue, im on ps4 . Happened with a few worlds. I get to water and plant but it no flowers, herbs, trees ect gave an option for harvest I might have tried 10 days n nothing then they just go rotten then I need to expose of them

Just played today and it's a real bummer.

@AzuriaPlays This is the issue I've been having, and it's been happening for ages now. It seems to have no rhyme or reason to it, some plants just randomly regress into a soil patch. I've long since given up the notion of any plant remaining grown and fruitful.

@UneSimmer I'm having this issue too and literally nothing has fixed it, EA's tech support just keeps regurgitating the same troubleshooting techniques that don't do anything

[xochiquetzl_xkvn]

I have this, too, but have been able to bludgeon them into submission.

If you have dirt piles and shouldn't, turn on testing cheats, then shift-click the plant and set gardening state to blossoming.

If you have lush beautiful in-season plants that won't produce any harvestables, go to manage worlds, then reload the lot from there. When I do this, the next day at 5am I get my harvestables.

Yes, reloading your lot fixes it... mostly, but this is very frustrating because I have to rebuild and upgrade my rocket every time I need to do this. Since I am playing through Steam, a lot of times I find that using the repair game option in Origin fixes it after Steam reloads the game, but not all the time. You also CAN load new plants from the gallery, but this is tedious and annoying. This has been going on for months. I have no mods, I have tried playing with no cheats, but this still happens randomly for why? Who knows.

Having this issue with plants on the home lot, and with wild plants also not producing harvestables. Have reinstalled game, and nothing appears to fix it other than reloading the lot - which in itself is a step that shouldn't be necessary.

My plants, as of the last update, will allow me to plant them, and then water them once. After that, they grow for a few days and die. No interactions are possible once they have been planted and watered once. No harvestable appear.

The photo shows the plants after multiple days. They just stay in this level until they die.
