NPC Sims that are not Gardeners will no longer remove Wild Plants from lots autonomously.
Fixed in Patch 1.58.63
Okay, this has gotten seriously irritating.
There is only one wild plant left on Mua Pel'am. There is a single pineapple bush left on a remote beach at the back of the island - the rest of the wild plants have been autonomously removed by NPC Sims. I was playing only one Sim, so I know it was never him.
So, my ecologist was unable to complete his work-from-home assignment to spray for invasive species because there weren't any on the single wild plant left behind by rapacious wild plant-hating NPC Sims.
This should simply not be autonomous behavior. We should have to direct a Sim to remove a wild plant. That would solve the whole problem.
But then, how are our old games ever going to get those plants back?
I totally agree, I wondered where the plants were going too then a few minutes ago I caught one of my playable sims removing the last pineapple plant. It shouldn't be autonomous, its too ridiculous to have the plants part of not just the worlds and the sims lives but the jobs as well then add coding that removes them all.
I was just having one of my sims vacation in Granit Falls and caught an NPC removing a Wild Plant...HEY!...I need those here! O^O"...have we ever seen NPC's do this before? I know I've had my Sims do it before but I don't know that I've seen NPC's do it before this...and in Granit Falls of all places...'head desk'...I closed my game just to post this here...now I'm going to go back to my game and have my Sim drink away my problems (I'm playing a completely up to date computer game with no mods just encase anyone wants to know)
