I keep getting spammed with notifications saying failed to germinate. It is in the community garden of the werewolf's pack. I've tried to shift click and press debug but that doesn't help. There are floating plants above the spot a sim is trying to plant but if I try to interact with it my sims says she can't. Any ideas on how to fix this?
Move your Mods folder to the Desktop and delete localthumbcache.package. Then test the game in a new save.
If it works now check for updates to your Mods and CC. Add it back a little at a time while testing until you have found all that are broken.
I've been having this issue for some time now too, and it's making hanging out in the Moonwood location an absolute nightmare. Every time I'm in that area I get a "crocus failed to germinate" error message constantly. Good new is that I found the flower in question! Bad new is that it's a crocus that somehow got into one of the planter boxes near the Volkov property (the ones they frequent near their "base") and since it's not actually on their property I can't just delete the thing, or even click-drag to move the flower out of the box. It shows in the box as unplanted (sort of mixed in with a mushroom plant in the attached screen shot) and has the option to be planted. Problem is, when you plant the crocus, it just recycles itself and reappears as if you didn't do a darned thing. The other plants in those boxes seem to be a bit messed up too, and some appear to be harvestable/floating, but don't have a "base"/mound of dirt to interact with, giving you the typical "I can't do that!" routing error when you try to harvest/eat them. I even brought one of my witches to the spot to burn the floating plants down. I read on another thread that it was a fix, but alas! I'm stuck in a loop with ghost plants preventing me from actually planting the cursed crocus and moving on from this stupid error message.
Edit 9/26: I was able to fix it finally! I sent my witch back in and had her burn away all the floating crops. Unfortunately I did experience the cycling issue when trying to have her plant the crocus (it reappears right after planting, as if nothing happened). I switched over the Volkov house and sent Jacob to plant it, and did so with success (and then promptly uprooted it out of spite lol). I'm not sure why it had to be another sim to plant it, or why sims are getting the routing errors when trying to eat the floating plants, but hopefully this fix may help others too!
