[FIXED] Active Sims autonomously remove wild plants (Green Fiend Trait ?)

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Mac
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.134.1220
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Maybe have the same traits as my Sim and see if they do the same thing. She's moved into the off the grid shipping containers in Port Promise and has the Eco Innovator aspiration and the following traits; Maker, Good, Green Fiend and collector.
What happens when the bug occurs? Sim wants to pull up neighbourhood plants.
What do you expect to see? Plants being left so I can harvest them.
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Downloaded Eco Lifestyle and most recent June patch.

My Sim is constantly pulling up neighbourhood plants.

I noticed this straight away. Randomly she would run to to the edge of the lot she's on and pull up the plant. They are always the soy plants, which is really annoying as I want to harvest them for wax etc. It's maybe the soy because that's all the wild plants that seem to be about in this world.

Wherever she is on a lot, if she ever stops an action she will just randomly run to whichever plant is on that lot and remove it. I thought maybe it would be in her inventory, but it's not, it just disappears. It's as if she's wanting to tidy up, but is being over zealous because she's actually removing something useful. I try to cancel the action when it comes up, but she sometimes still bends down and removes the plant. 

Sometimes she runs really far to pull up the plant as well. It's not as if she's right next to it. It could be on the other side of the area she's in and she'll stop her conversation or what she's doing and run over to it to remove it. I'm not sure how removing a wild plant is eco either, since the rubbish is still littered all over, but we'll pull up a useful plant instead :-/

    Now only Gardeners autonomously remove wild plants. Sims with Green Fiend Trait (if you own Eco Lifestyle) were being a bit overly eager in removing plants everywhere, so the professionals will handle it from now on.

    Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33

    If you're still experiencing this issue, please create a new thread.
