Cannot research plants after fertilizing
Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Português
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.95.207.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Base game only
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Fertilize plants once, after a few days, evolve, harvest or sell the crops. Then the option for "research" is unavailable. The plants stay like that for days and after that if you travel between lots, when you go back, all of them become dirt piles and stay like that for days.
What happens when the bug occurs? When the plants are with the "research" option unavaliable, they don't produce harvestables, but insects and weeds still appear and you can remove them. The same happens when they are in the "dirt pile" mode. If you put the mouse on the dirt piles, some of them are in the state like if they could be evolved, but the "evolve" button does not appear.
What do you expect to see? Normal gardening.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
I had this bug for a long, was playing with all expansions and MCCC, but decided to play test with base game only and no mods. After lots of in-game weeks I noticed some patterns and decided to make this bug report as another person suggested on this thread I posted a few weeks ago https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-and-Mod-CC-Issues/Cannot-research-some-plants/m-p/12349992#M34242
Edit:
I tested again in a new save in a in-game week and documented what happened. I also have the save files and lots of screenshots if someone needs.
