In my current world I've created a few allotment-type lots containing the auto-plants from buydebug. However, when I test them in the actual game, all the plants are gone and I have to place them again. Also, in edit-in-game they only appear as piles of dirt, while in the game they show up as that plant. Do I have to place the plants in the game and then put them in my world through edit-in-game? :?

it might be helpful for somebody: I had the same problem, (plants from uviversity and supernatural were only dirt without leaves, and didn't grow, I've checked them by nraas, and it was looking like they are "broken" I couldn't set "next growth state" etc.) I found thay it was because of this mod: https://modthesims.info/d/352788/plant-eggs-cheese-steak-and-burgers-without-doing-the-opportunity-update-11-22-10.html. I removed this mod and then all plants bought in buydebug mode were normal.

I have the same problem here :? !

I only knew about the piles of dirt, I assumed they would grow once the world is exported?

I've placed the lots on flat ground in the actual game, replaced all the buydebug plants- they're fully grown as soon as I place them- and a bit later I'm going to put these copies into my world and see what happens. I hope it works. :?

Hi,If you place debug plants in game they're full grown. If placed in EIG they're fresh planted piles. I don't remember when but sometimes if you move the lots from in game to place in EIG the plants will sometimes disappear... or is it a lot built in EIG placed in game then replaced in EIG? I know it happens sometimes- mostly I check once I place the lots in EIG. Perfect plants don't transfer from game to EIG, at least they haven't for me.

I built the lot in EIG then placed it in one of my saves in the actual game. :)

Ok, I've just put the lots with replaced plants back into my world and the plants themselves have reverted to dirt piles. I just assume they'll be fully grown when I export the world, or at least I hope so. :?

I just checked this in the world I'm working on. I placed the buydebug plants in eig, they are the little dirt piles. Once the world is exported, they appear as grown plants.

Oh that's good to know, thank you. :)

It's always been that way... it's moving the lots between game and EIG that will mess them up- as in remove them- sometimes.

Ah ok, I'll remember that in future. Although this is my second large world I'm still learning new things all the time, and because my other world didn't have any buydebug plants I'm only learning how they work now. :)

This might be a really stupid question, but what is EIG? I can't find an answer anywhere.
