Currently experiencing this as well. Strange weather and bizarre plants in the distance after the mother was defeated. Cleared Sims 4 file, repaired game, still there.

I am having the same issue on my xbox one. Anyone know what can be done to remove the plants?

As shown, without mods, and a deleted localthumbnailcache. The ominous cloud and bizarre fruit are still here even with the only sim played having the "Hero of Strangerville" Trait. I have reset the mother, who stayed dead, it's been a few patches since this has happened, I travelled to a new lot in a different world [Deadgrass "smth", Brindleton Bay], and waited about a week in-game. Sadly this remains. No LE spawned.

I have the same issue.

Just a reminder that this glitch still remains. EA PLEASE DO SOMETHING!

I have the same issue too. I didn't even know ALL the weird alien plants disappear?! I thought the ones outside access map remain either way.

This is happening to me as well. Very annoying that this is STILL not fixed when we pay money for the packs. I shouldn't have to download mods for the game to work as intended.
