[FIXED] Plants shrink after harvesting/ Turns into harvestable
Product: The Sims 4 Platform:PC 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? 1.63.133.1020 Wha...
Did you ever experience the Honey I Shrunk the Basil and Sage Plants issue in-game? No longer! *No Sage or Basil Plants were harmed in the fixing of this issue*.
Fixed in Patch 1.68.154/ 1.33
I'm aware that this thread has about 3-4 issues in it and isn't just about the basil sage issue although that was the main topic of this thread.
If you have ANY of the gardening issues mention in this thread still, please create a new thread. Trying to keep separate issues separate this time.
@malswartz I was testing something this afternoon and it reminded me of your comment. In my greenhouse my Sim grafted two plants. I was waiting to see if they would grow correctly afterward. Before:
In a short time - maybe later that Sim day, the tiny Money Trees grew to full grown. I also noticed shortly after that (same day) suddenly over half of the plants were a pile of dirt. All of the trees were also gone (deleted) except the Money Trees. The plants that remained were one tulip plant, 2 orchids, 2 BOP, a Bonsai, and 1 UFO plant. While it was like this I sat there and watched for an entire Sim week. Nothing grew from the dirt piles. The grafted plants did not progress. The plants that were acting normal still produced harvestables and weeds, including after they were harvested:
This is a sheltered, indoor greenhouse with sprinklers, bees, and plenty of tending. I have grown in this greenhouse a great deal and never had any issues whatsoever, at any season or anything. They grow year round and wonderfully.
Another odd thing is the dirt piles are pitch black at night, but not in the day, though they're always well lit and at night the other plants' dirt is normal dirt color. Thought I would include this here in case it was of any use.
Edit: I was just doing a different grafting test on another lot (right across the street from that lot/save), also involving sheltered plants. On this lot I did not see any of the plants reverting to a dirt pile or deleting. The grafting and re-growth behaved as normal aside from the Bird of Paradise shoot not showing up in inventory, and the plant spliced into sage doing the weird 'tiny plant with the tan area at the base thing: Carrot grafted into Sage:
The other plants that I grafted into grew as normal: Lemon & Pear grafted into Pomegranate:
Chrysanthemum & Lily grafted into Snowdrop:
So.... bottom line is that my initial results must have been triggered by some other factors like the greenhouse involving plants in a sunken room planted directly into the ground or some other factor. In both cases/lots there were bee hives in the areas (the greenhouse and indoor room on the second lot).
Yes, this is exactly what has happened to me though in my case it seemed more related to fertilization rather than grafting as I have only grafted two plants, I have actually mostly afraid to do anything much in my garden since, but then today, I finally got some growth again and then two of the regrown plants disappeared again after only being watered. My garden is currently quite unpredictable and unstable. ☹️
I currently have plantains, roses, sage, parsley, and lemons. Only my sage is acting up. It grows at 5 am and turns back into a tiny little thing when I harvest it. I have all packs except Eco lifestyle, tiny living, moscino, luxury party, and fist pet stuff.
This started happening to me after the June patch.
It was my sage at first but now it's random everytime I re-log into the game. It happens to me when my sim or the gardener is removing weeds from the plants, It has happened to my money trees, apple trees, coconut trees, bonsai and dragon fruits the most. It affects plants in the ground, garden pots and garden planters. Sheltered and outside plants are both equally affected. I haven't noticed it affecting my plants in the vertical gardens yet! The only way I've found a workaround is by testing cheats and setting the plant to planted. It takes some time to grow again before you can harvest again obviously. It likes to do this to full grown plants with harvestables. It only does it for the first day after getting back onto the game. Once I put the plants I lose to planted it doesn't do it again until I sign back on again. I haven't left the lot and tried that yet, maybe I'll see if that affects it also and I'll update if it does.
I have all packs but vampires and the halloween one, I've never used mods.
