[CoL] Harvesting and fertilizing for crops does not work

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Русский язык
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.77.131.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Grow pumpkin or watermelon
What happens when the bug occurs? Cannot fertilize, cannot harvest (at least) watermelons
What do you expect to see? I expect this game just works for once!
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 

‌

So after pumpkins and watermelons grow to a certain size, it is impossible to fertilize them. Now my watermelons are ready for harvesting, but neither selling options nor actual harvesting works.

In all cases sim shows she cannot reach them with a "though bubble" of that crop patch where they grow. Nothing is in her way.

The important nuance can be that both options of "help with garden" are activated - 1 for birds and 2 for rabbits.

I've also tried moving crop patches to a different locations - nothing helps.

This bug won't let you complete the newest aspiration (part 3), too.

    I believe I figured out how this bug works. It happens when plants grow to the final stage, i.e.when it becomes possible to harvest them.

    Also, I found a workaround - reloading the game fixes this.

    Hello All,

    If anyone of you are still encountering this (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?


    If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file.

    Instructions here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-to-Send-User-Files-to-The-Sims-4-Team/m-p/6065302

    Also, it would be great if we could get some info around the questions we have related to this issue:
    1 is this occurring for a group of plants or one large-sized plant?
    2. Is this occurring in any particular season?
    3. In which lot did you plant this and did you purchase fertilizers from the shop or from the patch?
