Re: Herbs can't be added to Vertical Garden

@Keijra I am unable to duplicate this.  After removing your mods, did you try clearing your cache and repairing your game?  Can you plant herbs that are not from the vertical planter packet?

    I have removed all mods, cleared my cache, repaired my game. I've tried every single herb in the game and I am unable to plant any of them.

    I've specifically used the ones from the vertical gardening packet as well as ones not specifically from the vertical gardening packet. It makes no difference. Nothing that the game considers an herb is able to be planted.

    What happen is that they will not slot in place at all. Normally a seed will snap into place and you can then plant the seed. 

    In the case of the herbs, I cannot even get them to snap into the slot in the first place.

    HI @Keijra 

    Try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.

    @crinrict Problem solved!!

    I had previously cleared all my files out, cleared the cache and opened a new save but I did not do a factory reset. Doing that allowed me to clear whatever the problem was.

    Now that I have the problem gone from an unmodded game, I can focus on finding the bad mod that caused the problem in the first place. That part is easy enough to do.
