I've had something similar happen a few times, but with Sims I was actively playing, not their employees. In fact, one time I actually "fixed" it by hiring a gardener, who planted it for me and that time it stayed planted.
>I even told her to quit gardening, but she didn’t listen.
My Sims did stop trying when I told them, but maybe it's because I told them to directly, rather than it being an employee's assigned task? I'm not sure how to fix this - are you still having a problem?
If so, I assume you've tried traveling away from the lot and coming back? What about telling another Sim to plant it - can you get someone to jump in before the butler tries and block them?
@justme22 @PipMenace Planting seeds has been buggy in my game since the game patch just before the Eco Lifestyle release (I think that was the June 3rd patch). My Sim will plant a seed but then the seed just disappears. If I had placed two seeds then she'll do that going back and forth thing trying to replant both seeds while there seems to be nothing there anymore. If she travels to a different lot and then returns home the seeds will reappear on the ground where she had tried to plant them.
I've been using a work-around that has fixed this problem in my game-- before I plant a seed I place it on the ground (anywhere is fine) and then I go into Build mode, move the seed into my household inventory, and then while still in Build mode, I take the seed back out of my inventory and place it back on the ground. Then I go back into Live mode and move the seed to wherever I want to plant it, and then I am able to plant it just fine. Moving it in and out of the household inventory seems to reset the seed in some way. I can do more than one seed at a time, it seems to work for as many seeds as I want. I do all of my gardening at or above ground level, I don't use basement gardens, so I'm not sure if this will work underground.
@justme22 Btw this issue does not seem to be related to any mods I am using, I get the same problem with my mod-free test save.
- @RandomBuzziness I'll give that a try after I get my Sims moved; thanks for the possible workaround.
@justme22 I am not sure if it's the same for others, but if I buy a seed packet and plant something from it straight away then it seems to plant just fine. If I take anything from my refrigerator or any other storage device, or a seed my Sim collected from another lot (like a Festival plant or whatever) that is when I see this bug and have to use the work-around.
Good luck :D
