plant

@peridot97 It's an old bug, workaround: go into Build Mode, select Hammer and then delete all the plants. Then click the reverse button many times until all the plants are back.

Hey, I play on PS4, and this is happening in my Sims in Bloom save. It's a every save problem though. I hope my save file helps you finally fix this.

My game has been doing this consistently. I replant, tend my plants, and get them to excellent or magnificent quality. Then, when I save and exit the game, the plants revert back to dirt piles when I load back into the save file.

It happens in my game too. And it happens with or without MODS, I tested that. I thought it was a memory/cache problem, because it never happens right away in the game, only after half an hour playing or when I do a lot of construction, or when the seasons change. If my Sims go travel somewhere, when they come back they find their plants as "planted" instead of "mature" or blossoming. I have to use the plant cheat to get them back to mature. And since I keep my SIM's plants indoors to have them blooming every day, it's quite annoying.

@croc4854 I moved your post over to the general thread because judging from what you posted, the thrift tea notification isn't the trigger for you.

I have this issue too. Even my sheltered plants revert to dirt piles or bloom in the wrong  season.

I also still have this issue where all the plants revert back to nothing.

Have never had mods and game is up to date.

Sim is a scientist, so plants revert everyday and or just never grow, both inside and out.

In 2023, the bug still happens... 

1. I don't have Seasons

2. It affects plants and trees with fruits

3. It doesn't matter if they are in a small pot, a large box (4 places) or directly in the ground, they all revert suddenly

4. It happens spontaneously during day/night, but also:

     - if i move out and back to the lot

     - in construction mode if i move them around

5. Putting back in the inventory work only on a few of them, otherwise i have to use cheat, which is quite often and super annoying. 

I'll wait until this old issue get fixed before considering buying any extension packs.

Recently, I've been thinking about the gardening bug where plants revert to just planted with a programmer's view point.

I assume that the growth stage is stored as a float.

It seems like, when plants are blooming, there may be a roll over or overflow, causing their growth stage to erroneously get set to planted. That can be caused by using a test of something like

if( Growth_Stage = Blooming )

    call Generate_Fruits

else ; If Growth_stage is slightly larger than Blooming, we end up here

    call Do_Growing_Stuff

end

When using floats, test for equality is bad practice.

Tentative solution :

if( Growth_Stage >= Blooming )

    Growth_Stage = Blooming ; If Growth_stage ever get to large, set it back to Blooming

    call Generate_Fruits

else

    call Do_Growing_Stuff

end

Hoping that this may help you.
