Re: Plants in my garden smell and either die or revert to Just Planted state

★★ Novice

I found a fix that works for me. You can use a mod to change the eco footprint of your lot and area to eco.

 

Then if you go into manage world and come back to your lot everything should be back to normal Standard smile

 

I don't usually post so not sure if I can advise of which mod but it's one that let's you interact with the UI and if you right click on the eco icon next to the temperature you can change it there Standard smile

 

Hope this helps until we get a patch!

@JustJess92 Worked for me too. I am keeping my eco footprint green through cheats and it stopped happening. May I ask what mod you use?

Thanks for sharing!  I've been going crazy over this. I keep just using the cheats to destroy the plants & replanting them only for the green mist to appear after a few days. Gonna give this a try & cross my fingers we get a fix soon!

I've noticed this with wild plants more often than my own households. 

The plants in Granite Falls have been all over the place. Dead, ready to harvest (but not giving my sims anything when they try to harvest), growing at odd rates.

I found it helpful to move my house to a different lot.

I don't know if anyone else had this same issue, but I upgraded some toilets on the same lot for composting the previous sim day. I've never had this issue with the plants before and I also have never upgraded my toilets for composting either. I do have MC Command and some Kawaiistacie mods but that's the bulk of it. Just thought it was a weird coincidence.

I have been waiting for this problem to be fixed.   Gardening is my main source of income and it's beyond annoying it hasn't been fixed yet.

 

Problem.  Green clouds appear.   Plants are still alive but there is no option to do anything with them.    Soon after the plants are dead.     I have to remove them and replant.    These are perfect level plants.   They are taken care of.  They don't need watering or weeding.   I also  have perfect level in season trees that look like they are just planted and not producing any fruit.

From what I can tell, this definitely seems to be related to the Eco Footprint and Evolved Plants. After noticing a pattern in my save, I decided to test it out.

 

I put strawberries in all of the possible garden types (raised, pot, and vertical) in spring and set the Eco Footprint to Neutral. I did not evolve the plants on this test. After letting it go a day without any issue, I changed the Eco Footprint to Green (no issues), then back to Neutral. The plants stayed the same and did not emit green clouds.

 

I then evolved each of the strawberry plants to Nice quality and changed the Eco Footprint to Green. After waiting some time and encountering no issues, I changed the Eco Footprint to Neutral. After some time, I noticed that the meter for the next evolution stage had regressed, and, at the same time, the plants began to emit the green clouds despite being alive and still "Nice" quality.

 

The Eco Footprint changing from Green to Neutral caused Evolved plants to regress in their evolution progress and emit a green cloud. This glitch does not affect un-evolved plants from what I can tell.

 

It may have been a complete coincidence, but this was the only consistent way to make it happen for me. Hopefully, this can be fixed soon!
