Re: Unable to Plant Seeds (Gardening) in Apartments

@HONKwaifu I just tested this in my game and I have no issues planting stuff. You say the seeds packets disappear from your inventory when you open them. Do you not get any plants from that ?

Did you test a fresh save or does it only happen on that specific one ? Is it all apartments ?

  • Thanks for the prompt reply, crinrict!

    No plants. The seed packet simply disappears. 

    It affects all apartments. 

    I've tried new saves, rotating played Sims to ones that don't live in apartments, and have reset my game. Once the bug is in the game, there is no way to play anyone who can plant. The only way to make it stop is to completely delete The Sims 4 documents folder. 

    It's unfortunate that you can't reproduce it. ☹️ I really think it's associated with the bundle I purchased, or the update- mixed with apartments. I suppose it could be something strange involving which packs I specifically own, and how they interact with the apartment lot? As it doesn't seem to associate with a specific sim, family, or apartment (and when it's out it affects all sims in the game).

    If it's any help, the packs etc I owned are:
    City Living Expansion Pack
    Seasons Expansion Pack
    Jungle Adventure Game Pack
    Vampires Game Pack


    the  problem occurred after I began playing with the bundle/downloaded the update for Paranormal Stuff.
    The bundle included:

    Get Famous Expansion Pack
    Spa Day Game Pack
    Paranormal Stuff Pack

    Since this issue I have purchased more packs, and the problem still occurs. 

    I'm trying to think of anything else out of the ordinary that could've occurred in my game, differing it from yours. I tried to playtest it pretty extensively to make sure I wasn't following any patterns, but If anything pops into mind I'll return and discuss it.

  • UPDATE: I bought a couple packs and it solved the problem! Interesting.

    The packs I bought were: Eco Lifestyle and Get to Work.

    So I'm now assuming that this problem was completely related to the packs I had installed at the time. 🙂

    Hopefully, if anyone else has this issue, they see this and can resolve it!

    Thanks!

    @HONKwaifu Weird. I tried your pack combination and still wasn't able to duplicate.

    Glad you solved it though
