It is a Problem since patch for seasons. It depands on the level of gardeningskill in relationship with planted underground / planting througs. And it is still there, I remarqued today with island living. It crahes the scientist carrer a litte bit, if the "wrong" planting througs are used.
Trye it yoursef: different skill levels and different planting througs. Or look to the pictures. I only changed the planting throughs with the same sim.
I think planting directly on the earth is repaired. The selfmade planting throughs are working fine, the other not all. But I don't remember all tests, i had made a year before. I think, I had posted it in the german sim forum.
I found my test rows in the german forum (bug thread november 2018): Level by level an throug by throug. And ... further depanding what kind of lot the sim was visiting: his own lot, community lot, business lot, career lot.
I think a parts of these bugs was repaired, but not all, because the relationsships of skilllvel, kind of planting throug and kind of lot was not completed known.
