Here is a picture of a lot I just started playing in Cottage living. It was green when I started but you can see the trees and plants around the lot are turning brown. Mid Spring, played for 2 days sims time.
Broken is the new normal. They fixed your problem. You're better off following my eleven seasons plan. I used to decorate with the growable/harvestable plants. I don't much care for objects that do nothing. I am not into Knick-knacks. Just something else I have to dust when the time comes. If it doesn't serve a purpose, I don't find much use for it. I am not a sim house builder, or rather I WAS a sims player. I don't clutter up my sims lives with non-essentials. Just like the one I just renovated to use. It had a desk in the master bedroom sitting at an angle in the corner of the room. My sim would sit there and play video games, get excited and "POP" somehow slip from the computer chair into the gap behind the desk in the corner of the room. I would hear her baby crying to death while working with a couple other sims, I go to check on the baby to find the baby stinky and starving. Look for my sim, she is stuck in the corner of the room behind the desk in a panic since she can't get out and reach her dying baby! If I ask "why did my sim get behind a desk in the corner of the room where there is no way to get behind the desk in the first place?" The answer is... it must be some mod you're using. I no longer decorate my houses with living, growing plants lining the walkway up to my house. I no longer name my houses "Prim-Rose Path" or " Lily Walk" Or "Walled Garden in Bloom". Now I go with "The Concrete Llama" and "The Cow Pie". Dead, wilted, brown plants are the new normal. I guess we live with it, until some CC expert finds a fix for it. I got a new problem. I had a Butler, she became like family, she got pregnant by some guy in StrangerVille. She went into labor while being my butler. She would test the kitchen counter for dust... finger wipe across the counter, stare at her finger and see if dust level is acceptable, then double over and grab her belly and crying out in labor pains. I tried to make her part of the family so I could help her have her baby. Silly me! you can't add the butler to the family while she is in labor! After an hour of this labor pained butler wandering the house, I cancelled the butler service so she would go and have the baby, which worked... she left the house, "poofed" out, went home to MyShoeNo, had the baby at the Culpepper house, then returned to my lot as part of the family, but left her baby behind in MyShoeNo! We went to get her baby, we knock on the door, can hear the baby crying inside, her "parents" don't answer the door, my one sim teleported into the apartment, went through the apartment, located the baby's cries, but the baby is invisible and untouchable. Messages pop up about the baby starving. I tried Freebuild cheat, I now can find the baby and his crib, but still cannot do any interaction with the baby. I can get the baby and the crib half out the apartment door, but that just makes it so that the mother stands there watching her baby die. Currently my game is paused with the baby still stranded in limbo. An empty apartment in MyShoeNo with the eerie haunting cries of a baby, starving, echo through the building and my butler, my friend, my family. watches in horror, listening to the cries of a new born. They win, plants are dead. Pour the concrete.
And yeah, I deleted the game, started a new one. No matter what I did the butler would stop everything and "cry it out" 3 or 4 times a day. Gave it 2 weeks game time to see if I could maybe adopt the baby to my house hold but it never came up for adoption, lots of babies, but not the one I was waiting for. i couldn't bring myself to delete babies to see if maybe I had to make room for her kid in the system. BUT, here is a picture of my NEW GAME! Spring Day 3, the entire mountain of Hensley bag end is dead or dying. I noticed that when I first started playing Cottage living there was always an "Aurora Borealis" over my little farm at night. since the blight moved in I never get the Auroras any more. They are a byproduct of getting your Eco Neighborhood to "Green" status. Maybe that has something to do with it? I don't know. I turned all the pack stuff off, it was raining about 20 hours a day 7 days a week, everything was mud and puddles. My sims were slipping and falling down constantly until they were actually complaining about injuries and having down time to heal pulled muscles and sprains. Spent half the time in hot tubs or bed. Here is a picture. Your world isn't the only one with brown everything. Seems the more I upgrade the things around the farm, stoves, sinks, tv, etc. the browner it gets. Buy a computer, a tree dies, get a bigger tv, the roses die. New game day 3 spring. It was all green to start.
