Money Trees don't harvest?

I was wondering the other day if this bug was fixed. Guess not. Do you know if they plan to fix it at some point? I really wish in the meantime OW could fix this, if it's possible.

I am also really hoping EA plans to fix this at some point, but the fact it wasn't fixed with the University patch, and in fact they doubled the problem by miscoding the Science skill with the same mistake, I think I may be fantasizing for awhile..... LOL

I just thought I'd bump this up, as I was looking for awhile, to the reason my Sim kept resetting when he'd harvest the Money Tree, with no gatherer trait. I tried having him harvest the money trees with Grandpa's Grove tractor, and it would reset the Sim and the tractor would completely disappear, leaving me to buy a new one.

My Sim did have the Science skill and that must be what is causing havoc.

Does anyone know if there is a mod for this? I tried crinrict's blog link but that has a link that doesn't work.

The gatherer trait and the science skill will "break" money trees. I haven't heard of a mod to fix the science skill issue.

I've never tried to harvest money trees with the tractor, but the tractor doesn't work with the crystal plants from ITF either.

If your talking about the second link on Cricint's blog, then you need to register at that site before the link to work correctly.

If your new to mods, then I recommend the Nraas mod, as those mods are more known.

Sorry crinrict, it doesn't have anything to do with the gather trait. And here is why, I have been able to harvest my money tree with the gather trait. The bug has been there since WA. I know this for a fact because I had that problem when I had first gotten Worlds, and I have had that since they day that it got released. I also have trouble with harvesting the Omni plant, and I still do. But I don't have trouble with harvesting the money tree anymore, either with or without the the gather trait. That problem lies else where other than the gather trait crinrict. :D

It took me ages to work out what causes this in my game.

When you use the tractor or dragon to harvest a few times the Sims inventory gets full. There are thousands of harvested items in there. Sell them or move them to the fridge and the tractor will stop resetting and vanishing. My sim resets when she uses the dragon to harvest too. Emptying inventories fixes both problems for me

I've never noticed a problem,my with gatherer trait or science skill. But I don't think everyone is affected so it must be a bit more complicated. Also I never had a problem with the tree of prosperity while it was broken. That's been fixed by EA now though.

I remember having an issue with the gatherer trait and harvesting...it must have been when SN came out. I stopped using the trait and that specific sim didn't have issues anymore and I haven't used the trait since.

I did come across a new (to me) issue, though. In a new game with an old sim imported in, my sim started getting that issue where plants would show the state as "Harvest", but there was nothing to harvest and the plant would never actually grow to a harvest state. Planting all new plants had worked for me before so, I tried a few things (disposing old plants/planting new, moving plants in build/buy, moving them to planters inside) and nothing seemed to work.
I read something about using sunlight as fertilizer being the problem, so I got rid of the gardening station. I planted all new plants and created a little tractor path section and everything was working again!
To test again, I added a gardening station over some of the plants and fertilized them with the sunlight and they all turned up with the same issue. Reaching maturity but never showing veggies/fruits when the plant would say 'Harvest' but would not show the option to Harvest. Everything BUT the money trees were affected

I had a problem with the money tree in the beginning, but it had cleared after a couple of days. I have never had any problems harvesting the money trees with the gather trait at all. :D

I see this is an old old thread but this is my first time having money trees and they produce nothing! No money. 2020 and they never fixed this?!

Hey there, considering this thread has been inactive for 6 years now I'm going to close it off to avoid further necro posting. If you wish to continue to discuss the topic of this thread I advise creating a new one to do so.
