Queuing fertilize plant cancels fertilizing a previous plant?

@crinrict 
I try to interweave my stacks so I am not only using say lemons to fertilize. I'll use lemons, apples, cherries, lemons, apples, cherries, but it will STILL skip plants that are queued and take me repeatedly queuing missed plants or having to wait for the action to complete before queuing up another plant.

@Covahenasni Sounds like this though as even if you switch to something else in between, you're still circling back to the same stack before it's fertilized.

Does it works if you only do: Lemons, apples, cherries ?

Guys Growfruit Tree is a special tree that came to TS4 during a spring challenge with a fruit called growfruit.  This fruit is unique it will increase the rate of growth from seed to adult.  It only works on younger plants as fertilizer, however older plants must have the perfect grow fruit to increase its harvest rate or yield.  Perfect growfruit can also speed up the evolve of younger plants.  Can only use 1 grow fruit per plant type.

@Vulori I'm still experiencing this issue. I have to fertilize plants one at a time.

I'm still experiencing this issue too

and I am neither playing the Sims 4 games or buying anything The Sims until such time where EA finally pulls their fingers out their butts and fixes this issue !!!

I can now pause the game and queue up to 7 fertilize actions with one type of fertilizer, and it will successfully fertilize each one. I discovered that I can do this after the June 4, 2020 patch (PC: 1.63.134.1020). I do not know if it was fixed in a previous version, it was not mentioned in the patch notes. There are other issues with doing this action that really complicate figuring out whether this is "fixed" or not.

Unfortunately, if the plants had any harvestables on them, it causes them to disappear. Also, all the plants that were fertilized via a queue revert to looking like a dirt pile. Even stranger, though, is that if I save the game BEFORE fertilizing via a queue, none of this happens. Which is making it really hard to replicate reliably - I did a couple of "save as" test games, and the queuing worked flawlessly on both of them. 

So I guess I would ask you to test it again (this happened to me on the latest July 23 patch) and see if it works for you. I did these tests on a game with just base game + eco living / no mods or cc. If you pause the game and queue to fertilize with the same item on as many plants as you can, what happens for those plants? Do you get some fertilized and not others? All fertilized or none? How many fertilizers does it use (if you fertilize with a stack, does it use just one from the stack, or multiple?)

As I said, I can no longer replicate the problem, although I am seeing bugs with the process, it seems to be different bugs. All the plants get fertilized with one item for me

Why is "fertilize all" not an option in the game? We have a "water all", "harvest all", "weed" also applies to all plants in the area, and the same with "spray for bugs". If you think how many plants players usually have needing to give orders to fertilize one at a time is a real pain. Maybe it would be a nice idea for a mod...

Hello @geek-gurl10 

If you are still encountering this (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

I'm not sure about subsequent plants not being fertilized but I am having the one item per plant issue. Prior to the patch for the Cottage Living EP I was able to use any type of fertilizer item and fertilize 6-7 plants per one item. After the patch it's one for one. I have tested this with and without mods.
