I am playing in Windenburg right now and I have planted several plants, strawberries, chocoberry, lemon tree, peas, and mushrooms. (The mushrooms do not have this issue) The plants show harvestables and I'm able to take them but the greenery part of the plant is not there. It looks like floating fruits. When you hover over them with the mouse you can see the outline of the plant but it doesn't show up, this includes the lemon tree. I am able to do everything related to the gardening and harvesting these plants. I've tried creating an entirely different save I've moved them, I've put them in the ground as well as in planters. This goes for plants on and off the lot, there are some wild bluebells right outside of the lot that also show floating. I play on PC and the mods I have are MCCC, Better Build Buy, and UI Cheats. I have repaired my game I'm also playing with dx11. If anyone has any insight that would be great!

@lilnat_lomax I merged your post with another thread on this. Sounds the same.

Are you also using laptop mode ?

The same issue is happening to me, as soon as I turn off laptop mode plants throughout the game fix themselves. With laptop mode on, I can't really see the graphics for most plants on any lot, they all look like they are dead, but when you hover over them you see the outline of the missing leaves. For now, I guess I will have to turn laptop mode off on my laptop and hope it runs smooth enough.

Same here. I want add on here as well. It's not just the plants. A few buy mode objects are affected too. 1 shower from university is affected. The shower from horse ranch and the lockers in high school years is affected as well. Turning off laptop mode solves this. I thought I comment here instead of making a new thread since this is related to this. To reproduce this. Turn on laptop mode and get the affected items. The closed uni shower. Not the open one. The outdoor shower from horse ranch and the lockers from high school years. Using dx11 doesn't fix it either.

I just experienced this problem as well. Never played with mods however. Turned off laptop mode and everything was normal.
