1. Eco footprint OFF does not function. It hides the current status, but eco status changes and affects sims and plants.

2. As soon as the plants get grown-ups, they become rotten, or easily become rotten even if they are fine for a few days, when in eco "green" area. 

This is not the bug that plants turn into soil. 

Hope EA fixes this soon!

@zzzAPRzzzz There's currently two threads for dead plants.

Is any of these similar to what you're seeing ?

- https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-Plants-playing-dead-emitting-green-cloud/td-p/9751...
- https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Can-t-water-plants/td-p/10029533

I assume by rotten you mean they die ?

@crinrict 

Thank you for the reply.

Rotten means dead. (To me, it looks like rotten dish with green smoke. Sorry.)

The two threads are different from mine.

- Sims can't interact the dead plants like watering, etc. (except for "discard") and the plants never return to soil nor revive. They are just dead. Too soon.

- Of course sims did water the plants but I cannot say it's the reason. Instead, it seems that that the area is eco "green" is the reason. 

That the area is eco "green" is the big factor, it seems for now. 

It's strange many plants become dead as soon as they are grown up, and sims can never harvest them, not a once.

@zzzAPRzzzz I'm actually a bit unsure if you're reporting two issues in here.

Do you also mean turning off the voting for footprint doesn't work ?

If so, that has it's own thread here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/NEEDS-INPUT-ECO-Footprint-changes-despite-turned-off/td-p/9188...

Also found yet another thread on plants dying: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Plants-always-die-before-even-blooming/td-p/10283837

They do seem to have the eco pack although it's not specifically mentioned

@crinrict 

Thank you. One issue. I hit me, too button on the first thread. 

I just wanted to emphasize that eco footprint on/off doesn't affect or solve this problem (= dead plants in "green" area).

Apologies for my very bad writing skill. 

The second one is similar, but my sims can do gardening normally in eco "middle" area. (Not tested in eco "industrial" area)

Eco "green" area seems to cause this problem.

I was trying to mention it has something to do with Eco Lifestyle using the word "eco" or "green" and adding [ECO] on the title, I didn't write the pack name properly though. Is that "it's not specifically mentioned"?

[crinrict]

@zzzAPRzzzz No, I mean in the other report. It's not clear enough if they have the issue on green as well like you or not. Could be entirely the same issue with just less details then yours

[zzzAPRzzzz]

@crinrict 

OK. I understand your intention.

All threads you introduced could be same as mine if they are occurring in green area without noticing/mentioning that.

[zzzAPRzzzz]

@crinrict 

One of my friends and I tested this bug to confirm the detail and found that this does also occur in eco "middle" area.  

That this bug occurred only in eco "green" area plural times and that plants was normal in eco "middle" area was just fortuity. 

(Completely unintentionally, in eco "green" area, we didn't re-load the lot and plants got dead ,in reverse, in eco "middle" area, we re-load the lot and plants got fine. The temporary solution seems re-loading the lot (travel out the lot and back, play another household and back, or quit game and restart, etc.))

So I will delete this thread after you read (or you will delete?).

Thank you for your attention and responses.

[zzzAPRzzzz]

@crinrict Oops, I can't delete this thread. Please delete this on your side.

[crinrict]

@zzzAPRzzzz Still sounds like an issue. You shouldn't have to reload the lot for it to work properly
