Re: Garden trees no longer go into household inventory

@mrstank30 I also can't remember this option either and don't have options to sell or move any plants to the household inventory from live mode.

Are you sure this wasn't a mod that gave you the option that you no longer have ?

Could you maybe post a screenshot of the option you're mean for other plants in case I'm misunderstanding what you mean.

EDIT: Seeing that you posted in another old thread, I'm not sure if you're talking about an actual option in Live mode or if you mean you can't drag them to your inventory. Could you give some more info?

  • I have the same problem. In build mode, I can only put small plants in the household inventory. No more trees. Screens attached.
    I don't know since when the problem exists. I have not been able to play for about 2 months. Before that it was still working.
    Tested mod-free and in a new game save. Cache and localtumb deleted before start.

    I always forget about this issue until I'm trying to move my household (like now). This has been a chronic problem for me for ages: I can't move trees into household inventory (in build mode). Best I can do is take some fruit from the trees to replant at the new house. I'm surprised there aren't more Me Too's on this one.

    @PandoraTO Honestly I forget about it too but I moved a household in my new clean save and put the two money trees in the inventory, got them to the new house and they were gone. They worked going in (or so I thought)... but then just disappeared. That's slightly different than what happened originally. I am currently trying to play and build and so on but I have to stop so often due to how many bugs and glitches I keep having. Annoying as heck.

    @PandoraTO are you also on Mac? I am on Windows and just moved my sims to my new lot and was able to put their harvestable trees into their family inventory and place them on the new lot. Though I tend to use the back space key to put them into my inventor, but I just went in and checked and I do have the option to put them into the family inventory even without using the back space key. I tested with a lot of different trees, including the money tree, forbidden fruit trees and the plasma fruit tree. Do you remember where you originally got the fruit to plant the trees? i.e. they weren't debug cheats or ones that were found dumpster diving were they? I know especially with the latter (things found dumpster diving) there can be issues with ownership. 

    If that doesn't work, try creating a room with the plants you want to move, save that to your library and then place that room when you get to your new lot. I've done that before if I've wanted to have some harvestable trees (and plants) in a build. 

    Best regards,

    Jennifer

    @MapleSimmer Yes, I am on a Mac. I suspect it could be part of the issue based on the first report.

    I did use the room workaround once when I had some out-of-season trees I wanted to keep but none of the harvestables to replant. I’d forgotten about that. Thanks for the reminder!
