Re: [OPEN] [ECO] Green Gardening: Unclear that insect farm/bee box needed for NAP
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.91.205.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All, except for Werewolves, Journey to Batuu, Strangerville, with the exception of kits (have Desert Luxe, Blooming Rooms, Country Kitchen, and Courtyard Oasis).
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Need: Cottage Living, Tiny Living, and Eco Lifestyle packs. 1. Have a tiny home in Finchwick in Henford-on-Bagley. Have a garden where veggies, herbs, and fruit grow. 2. Vote for Neighbourhood Action Plans (personally have NPC voting disabled) and get Green Gardening selected. 3. Once the NAP is enabled, the inspector should come to visit. Despite the garden they should still issue a fine for failing to comply.
What happens when the bug occurs? Despite having an outdoor garden that my Sim works on and mainly cooks with home-grown or purchased products, the N.A.P. inspector still fines the Sim for not complying with Green Gardening rules, despite talking with a sim right in front of said garden. This happens week after week, causing an increase in bills.
What do you expect to see? Hope that the inspector acknowledges that there is indeed a garden and would stop fining my Sim.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. After downloading the 26th of July update and High-School expansion pack. Also notable is multiple mayors/pub owners/creature keepers on Henford-on-Bagley which wasn't a bug when the pack first came out or later.
Never had an issue with Cottage Living pack before. Recently created a New game set in Finchwick, Henford-on-Bagley after not having any Sims in that world for a while. Two main issues immediately occurred: there were too many titled NPCs. Encountered 2 creature keepers (none were Michael Bell, despite it being a new game), 3 or 4 mayors in one lot, 2 or 3 pub owners, two of whom were also in the same pub lot. Some were in the same location, at the same time.
Another issue is related to the Eco Lifestyle pack. I have NPC voting disabled and because my Sim has a fruit/herb/veggie garden in their tiny house lot, I got them to vote for Green Gardening. I read the requirements and met them. But every-time (happened a few times already) the N.A.P. inspector comes, despite standing by and looking directly at my Sims garden, he fined my Sim for not complying with the Green Gardening plan. For this my Sim has an increase in bills and there is no way to get him to stop fining my Sim (unless my Sim is supposed to bribe him).
None of these issues ever happened before the big summer's game update and before installing the High-School pack, so could be related.
Hope it can be resolved soon.
