Wild plants and trees not maturing or producing harvestables in Sulani

[crinrict]

@dolldrms1 For sure they need to look into it. Just trying to figure out if it's JUST the 5 am issue or if something else is going on.

@crinrict     I don't envy you trying to figure out what to do with this report. Part of me feels like the Granite Falls, Sulani threads you referenced and this one could all be combined because the issues probably all stem from the 5 am design, at least initially. BUT this is now all worlds for me and it feels like what may have started out as a 5 am issue has now progressed to more than just a time thing, i.e. some wild plants never producing. Something is broken, or not working as it should, imho.

Plants (both wild and gardened) don't produce harvestables anymore. None of the debug options have made any difference. It doesn't seem to be related to seasons, as it also affects year-round plants like the ones that grow in Forgotten Hollow. The issue seems to have only started after the pre-Paranormal Stuff Pack update, and is only present in games I've started since then: I have one save I've been working on since December that is not affected by this glitch. In every save I've tried to start since then, however, the problem is seemingly unavoidable. I haven't seen this issue discussed anywhere else, so I'm not sure if it's a known issue or not.

• I do not have an issue with the plants on my own lot, wild plants are the problem. They sparkle like when ready to be harvested but no fruit/veg or flowers to be seen on them and cannot be harvested. This occurs in all of the worlds I go to.

@Skullchick90 Plant harvest time is 5 am. Plants also need time to grow.

Does keeping a sim on the lot overnight allow you to harvest fully grown plants?

[Skullchick90]

I've never had a problem with this. I've always just looked for the plants and harvested. I've never really had to wait. I've been looking on and off for 4 days now. 

[crinrict]

@Skullchick90 I don't know what: They don't always spear means, so do you not have any plants at all or are they not ready to harvest ?

There's threads for each of these if you have both, please click me too on the threads. If it's one or the other, please let me know so I can merge your post.

There's also the 5am issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-ADD-OR-Plants-in-Granite-Falls-only-produce-at-5am-in-curre... (thread is for OR though)

Sulani also has it's own thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-IL-Wild-plants-not-growing-in-Sulani/td-p/8018797

I have my own plants, I bought seeds so no problem with that. Whenever I go to other worlds to harvest, that's the problem. The plants sparkle as they do when ready to be harvested but nothing there and only lets me view them. 5 days now and nothing. I've tried the 5am thing, I was lucky with one plant and not all of them. So def a bug or something.

@Skullchick90 Do they have any harvestables ?

@Skullchick90

The "Sparkle" doesn't mean they are ready to be harvested. It means they are ready to be evolved. Which can't be done on "public" plants... (which is a bug, but a completely different bug. The Devs either need to allow played sims to evolve public plants or turn off the "sparkle" if we can't evolve them. Having them constantly sparkle and no way to evolve them is annoying.)

The only sign they are ready to be harvested is if they have any fruits or flowers on it.

If the plants are in a public area, like on the street, you should be able to harvest them after 5am as long as its your own neighborhood.

If it's a neighborhood DIFFERENT from your residential neighborhood, OR the plants are on a public LOT, like a park lot that you have to go through a loading screen to get to... then you will need to spend at LEAST 24 hours on the lot, and if they are grown, they will spawn at 5am.  This is a bug that first appeared after Seasons was released and has been all but forgotten by the Devs.

That bug has carried over to Island Living with the sea shells. If you don't live on Ohan'ali Town, seashells won't spawn there until you spend at least a day or two there contiguously. It's quite annoying.
