75% of my pumpkins have turned out white, with the occasional orange or green. Still haven't figured out a way to influence the color, if that's even possible. The only time I'm able to make Pumpkin Conserve, though, is when they come out orange.

• No mods/CC installed through the lifetime of this save file
• I've had the issue with multiple households on multiple lots, though admittedly I haven't tried a fresh save yet since they take a while to grow
• I'm able to cook with the white and green pumpkins, and I can make them into animal treats. I just can't make Pumpkin Conserve from the Canning menu.

The pumpkin in question when I captured these screenshots happened to be green, but it absolutely happens with the white ones too. Seems a waste to cook a single pie or make a single treat out of my oversized pumpkin, when a batch of conserve would last me so much longer, especially considering just buying a small one from the grocery shop is more cost-effective without the canning option.

EDIT: Merged thread with another with 11 me toos

@bem052698 Could you please make two separate thread for this. One for the canning and one for the color.

I can confirm the color happens on PC as well. Mine is also all white, haven't tested canning.


Best to edit this post to make it about one of the issues only and then create a new thread for the other

Thank you

Guess there's several colors but you can only make pumpkin conserve from orange

I just ran into this very problem. Made a perfect oversized green pumpkin, but can't can it.

Merged two threads that seem to be the same issue.

Bumping this up since this is still a problem. Just grew a perfect green oversized pumpkin and I can't can it.

@wombatilim Same here, can't can with anything but orange pumpkins.

I just ran into this problem, I can do anything else with the green pumpkins I grew but I can't make pumpkin conserve from them.
