I have the same issue with the only difference being that the plants are permanently identified, even after leaving Granite Falls (which makes one of the aspirations impossible to complete). This is the first time the world has ever been loaded and with 4 sims who have never interacted with any Outdoor Retreat plants.
EA StaffHello @TheDeerLord @lyricstomymusic @MapleSimmer
We have not been able to reproduce this at our end.
Would you be willing to send your save files? If so, instructions are here:
Thank you very much and happy simming!
Here's a link to my save, though unfortunately it's currently the wrong time of the year so when I just had them return to Granite Falls I couldn't find things to harvest so I can't confirm if they still are identified when they go into their inventory. I did take this picture that showed that the plants are identified when you hover over them. I'll try starting a new save in summer and see if it happens again and if it does I can share that too. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1muoSc1ibfds9UIpL8eGyNfWz5bGWXGsj/view?usp=sharing
Thanks and regards,

FYI, I went in and created a new save and wasn't able to recreate it, though it originally happened in a new save I created post Seasons but before the June 26/18 patch. So I'm not sure why it happened in the other save, but it seems to be fine now. My game is up to date (ie it has been patched July 10/18).
Thanks and regards,

I have a slightly different version of this bug, When I hower over wild plants, the pop-up sign say correctly "Wild Plant". But when I click on them I get the option "Harvest toxic fireleaves" or whatever name the plant has. After harvesting the plant, it stays identified in my Sim's inventory. I tested this with a Sim with level 0 in herbalism.
I am having the same problem. I have found all 10 plants (actually I've found all the plants in the entire game) and it lets me identify the "Unidentified plant" and then it isn't added to my 10 plants that I need to complete the aspiration. So I am essentially stuck from leveling up to get the Outdoor aspiration. Please advise how to fix. Game is up to date, playing on PS4. Contacted PS4 to check if it was downloaded correctly and it still didn't fix the problem. This seems to be game related. I even tried deleting all the plants and still did not correct.
I managed to find a workaround. I waited until summer when every one of the unidentified plants are in season and removed all of the previously identified plants from my sims inventory before heading back to Granite Falls. When I got there all of the plants were reset. I was able to identify each one of them and have them register as identified for the aspiration milestone.
It's unfortunate that we have to wait until summer for this but I changed the seasons' lengths to the shortest duration in the Game Options menu because I'm impatient.
Yes, you do have to wait for all of the plants to bloom again when you get there so make sure to take a long vacation.
I will try this work around. I sold all the mushrooms from granite falls that I had in my inventory to see if once I did it would credit me after harvesting and attempting to identify. My sim is maxed out in herbalism and already identified all the plants, yet she is stuck at 8/10. I had to use the cheat for the aspiration. My problem is that the two mushrooms (morsels) from Granite Falls keep reverting back to unidentified plants and idk what to do about it.
edit: yah and now it's happening to the huckleberry where it reverts back to being unidentified. And I should add that I have not used any mods since reinstalling sims 4 a couple months ago. I also only use the moveobjects cheat for decorative purposes maybe twice. I've had to install the mc command center mod to unglitch my sims. Since going to vacation in the jungle place (forgot the name) my game has been really weird. I was in a tomb and tried to place the little cooler, thinking I could since I could place the tent just fine, but the cooler glitched out and went invisible. It was in my inventory twice later when I got home. Sorry for the long reply but if any of the devs see this I figure they may need as much info as possible to problem solve.
