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? No
I've been testing gadening after the new patch, I started a new save off with mod functionality completely turned off, I refreshed my Sims 4 folder by deleteing it and letting the game rebuild the folder, and have no mods in the mods folder.
I was using a new save file from after the patch for about a week in game then moved save file to another new one, moved the lot and Sim from the first one to the second.
After 5 days of playing that second save file one morning at about 9.00, everything in the garden regressed to a dirt pile at the same time, no warning. I had not harvested or interacted with the garden that day in any way but was about to.
I had saved less than an hour before it happened and have just "saved as" right after it so have a before and after save if required.
As I was testing the gardening I had set the garden up with 4 lots of the same plants, one lot of planter and soil plants planted under cover and the same in the open air. So I had say;
4 different Mushroom plants, one in a planter sheltered, one in soil sheltered, one in the open in a planter and one in the open in soil.
and as I said the same for lots of different plants, all from different seasons, all from seed packets bought in Build Buy mode except for a couple harvested from wild.
The only thing that I did right beforeit happened was in the night time just before the morning it happened was change the lot type from residental to Micro Home.
