Pets’ ehm… poop is now able to be used as plant fertilizer. Happy gardening!
Fixed in Patch 1.63.133

Yes. As I mentioned it is when trying to fertilize a plant with sims's dog poop. It does not fertilize the plant. The poop is stil in sim's inventory and is not used. There is the normal animation of plant being fertilized. But the fertilize text on clicked plant is not greyed out as normally happens.Therfore plant has not been fertilized.Thank you for replying crinrict.

I can't help but wonder if this change is By Design, since in real-life, you're not supposed to use pet poop as fertilizer (something I've read before, if I remember correctly).

@ANTONJPSTER Yes, but if you use something else than dog poop, does it work ? Especially when you queue stuff.
Yes it does work with normal harvested plants when queueing fertilising plants.I can queue several plants for fertilization with plants that I have already harvested. Pet poop from dog was aways available as fertilizer until latest patch. If sim has any dog poop available in sim''s inventory.Clicking plant and fertilize brings up menu with dog poop available as fertilizer if in sim's inventory.

Not as far as I know. Pet poop is still selectable item for fertilization with plants.It is also stated as best fertiliser for plants on forum's.

I have the same issue with poop fertilizer and this issue here as well: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-Fertilize-several-plants-with-the-same-item-doesn-t-work/...
The option to pick the dog poop as a fertilizer appears in my choices, but when I choose the option, my sim performs the action, but the plant does not fertilize and remains with the option to fertilize.

@ANTONJPSTER and @M3llica : Ah, so it is still there, but broken? Thanks for the info.

I am having this issue too. No problems when I use fish to fertilize even if I que it to fertilize more plants, as lon as I don’t use the same product on more than one plant in a row
