    Garden plants now should remain as plants instead of sometimes crumbling into piles of dirt. Be strong and live your best life, garden buds!

    Fixed in Patch 1.101.290/1.81

I have the same issue with my plants. I have it in different saved games and it includes different kinds of plants. They are sheltered and well cared for.

The plants grow to maturity and suddenly revert back to dirt. I have noticed it happened sometimes when building was done in the lot. The building was not done on the greenhouse, though.

The plants grew out to maturity again after a long time, BUT it went back to dirt piles after I traveled from the lot. My Sims was reliant on the farming, but had to find another form of income. Even my hard earned money tree means NOTHING.

Having similar problems.

Also since I added Seasons very recently and put my plants into glass houses, the yields of those plants have been far inferior to before I installed Seasons.

Is that normal? 

I'm seriously regretting purchasing Seasons. I use the gardens for income a LOT.

    With Seasons, indoor plants yield smaller harvests than outdoor plants. (most of the time)

    You will get larger harvests on most plants outdoors, but then you have to deal with plants not growing in certain seasons.

    This is why I made my Gardening for All Seasons mod. You can plant outdoors on any season and get full yields.

    If you don't want to use mods, you'll just have to choose. Smaller yields all-year-round? or larger yields only part of the year?

      Not a big fan of mods, but willing to use it in this case. 

      I'll go and look for it. 🙂

        This happens randomly to me every time I switch households (I play rotationally).  I usually sigh, right-click, and set gardening stage to blossoming for all my plants.

        (That only works if you have testing cheats on.)
