@mandymiseryy If you try a new save for testing, does it happen too ?

@crinrict I tried a new save, restarting the game, fixing the files from Origin, and they are still doing it. I haven’t been on that save in a day, I am about to get on and see if it is still doing it.

      @crinrict No, sorry. I try not to clutter up my game with multiple saves of the same househole. ☹️ I've overwritten it. I really don't know what the mechanism is at play here, I logged in and started playing, my plants/trees were all dirt mounds. I went to check on a Sim on the 3rd floor, returned to the Sim in the basement garden, and lo and behold about half my trees were suddenly fully grown. I can't explain it. It's utterly random and instantaneous. ☹️

          I just had 26 flowers revert back to dirt piles at 7:12am in my game. I'm on day 11 of 14 in Spring of a new save file. I fertilized all of the affected flowers around 4am of the same day. The flowers are under a roof and in the planter boxes, sides of the "greenhouse" area are open. Plants looked discolored and out of season until immediately before they reverted (7am). The plants looked bright and alive for a moment until my sim went to "tend garden" and all the plants I had fertilized are now dirt piles. In the same garden, I have Christmas Rose, Holly, Daisy, and a group of Tulips that were not fertilized that are fine. Funnily enough, I was able to fertilize the plants a few game days ago with no problem.

          Editted to add: Lot has great soil and homey traits.

    I've tried and started many new games but still every morning my plants shrink down to nothing as well at 7 AM. All my files are fine I repair my game after I play each time nothing fixes this programming error.
