[NEEDS INPUT] Issues with reviving plants
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? 1.44.88
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Seasons, Get to Work, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Jungle Adventure, Vampires, Kid's Room Stuff Pack, Vintage Glamour Stuff Pack
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Raise your gardening skill high enough to gain to ability to Revive dead plants. Plant and harvest many plants. Trim and shape many Bonsai trees.
What happens when the bug occurs? No matter how many plants you havest, or how many Bonsai you shape, you won't find the Twigs you need to revive dead plants.
What do you expect to see? You should, at least occasionally, find Twigs when harvesting plants or shaping Bonsai trees, so you can have some at the ready to revive a plant should it die.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure
My gardens added together have a great many plants.
And of course, I've harvested from them a lot, as well.
If you are supposed to earn twigs through harvesting plants or shaping Bonsai trees, then I should have found at least one by now, I should think.
Of course, if their drop rate is just abysmally low, then it wouldn't be a bug, but it's hard to test it any more than I have. (via harvesting a TON of plants and trimming a LOT of Bonsai trees)
On the off chance it's not just a ridiculously low rate of finding Twigs, I'm submitting this report and saying that there's a bug going on with them.
As an aside, I'm not sure if plant reviving has always been a thing, or was added with Seasons.
I didn't know it was a thing at all until a Sim of mine suddenly got a Whim to revive a dead plant, using Twigs which I had never seen before.
Here's the Whim, too:
