[BY DESIGN] [ECO] Can't place certain plants in vertical garden

In my case, I was able to drag the "seeds" to the vertical planter after opening vertical herbs seed packets, but my sim wouldn't plant anything that I tried (basil, parsley) on the lower planter after I first planted sage in the top planter

I'm having this issue, as well. It's only certain plants. Roses, Bluebells, and Chrysanthemums seem fine.

Also, a Sim placed a "Faux Meat Cube" onto one of the square ground planters in the community garden, and it can't be planted anywhere or dragged onto the vertical planter.

@missdeefying I think they said you can't plant everything.

Could you compile in your post which ones are not working ? Little list in the compiled field would be good

Following should be by design

• Mushrooms
• Bush-type thingies (so bonsai ?)
• Trees

Trying to get more info

Same here. Disappointing, as I'm building a base on Sixam and can't plant any of the short alien plants in the vertical planters. ☹️

I can add Potatos, Carrots & Onions to the list of Plants/Seeds not placeable in the garden.

It looks like the Mesh of the bush may be an indicator?

Tulip, Lily and Chamomile have the same bush type and can't be placed in it. Same goes for Carrots, Potatos & Onions who have the same bush type.

I do hope it is not by design cause it does not make sense if i can't use the vertical garden for everything.

@crinrict I'll test all plants and get back to you with a list!

It makes sense that trees wouldn't work, but I don't understand why some flowers and veggies are okay and some aren't. So I'll test them all.

If you purchase seeds from the vertical garden, you'll notice that there's "vertical seed" packages!  I think it is in fact by design, in the description it mentions that only some plants are ready to "take the climb" or something similar.  It makes sense that 'spreaders' who need ground space for either roots/vines and root vegetables that grow down cannot be planted in vertical gardens.

I was able to plant some 'bush' type herbs in the vertical planter, such as Basil and Sage. Basil glitches out and shows no option to weed, spray or water, while Sage works fine. When removed from the vertical planter, Basil bush works as expected, but when put back into vertical planter turns to 'dead' look and can't be tended again. However, this entire time the Basil bush can be harvested without issue.

As an additional note, the seed for the Basil and Sage bushes were obtained from the specific 'Vertical Garden Herbs' seed packet.
