• Locked seed packets are unlocked in BB when using the gardening skill cheat “stats.set_skill_level Major_Gardening 10”. Gimme my seeds!

Hi @Jan_831

I've tested this and have no issues buying these.

Are there any particular ones you have issues with ?

[Jan_831]

Hi Crin,

I tried several times last night while playing and all the seed packs that require a level 5 or 10 gardening skill are locked and when I hover over them it says I need to be a level 10 gardener.  My Sim is a level 10 gardener, so I am not sure why it won't unlock.  Thanks for your help.

Could you try a fresh save for testing purposes ?

This happened to me too.  My sim is lvl 10 gardener and I can’t buy them in build/buy.  My sim was able to buy them in live mode by clicking on the planters though.

Hi Crin,
I did a fresh save and repaired the game, I am still unable to purchase the seeds. I will try buying them in live mode as mentioned in the response above and let you know if that works.

Hi Crin,
I just tried to purchase them in live mode and was able to purchase the seeds by clicking on the planters as well.
Thanks.

Going to tag this as needs input as I've seen a few reports on the officials about this.

Also added to that list.
