[OPEN] Plant not planting

How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.66.139.1020

Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have your Sim try to plant a seed, either in the ground directly or in a planter bowl.

What do you expect to see? I expect to see the mound of earth remain, and a Water interaction so the plant can be watered
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

I'm not sure when it started; I was away from the game for close to a year, and when I returned didn't start gardening right away. I first noticed it when I had MCCC and UI Cheats installed (current versions) but I removed them and deleted localthumbcache, but it still didn't work on a vanilla game.
