Re: [FIXED] Bird of Paradise Plants Won't Produce Flowers

Hi @LRR32793

I've merged your post with current open bug on this.

QA has issues duplicating though so would you be willing to share your save as per instructions of @SimGuruIcarus on page 1 ?

  • I actually got it to work by grafting chrysanthemums and tulips.  This wasn't my first idea because grafting had not worked in the past for me.  I had about 15 bird of paradise plants in my house inventory, none of which had flowers, hmmm.....  I don't know how they got in my house inventory.  Do you mean share the file of my last saved game?  I'm not sure how to do that.

  • I tried to attach my save, but the attachment says "unsupported extension type," and the file won't open when I try to.

  • I was able to get the flowers from grafting chrysanthemums with tulips, but I still cannot have an only bird of paradise plant. I tried planting the flower once I got it, and there's still nothing to harvest.

    Go to Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. Right click on the file "The Sims 4", copy it, and paste it on your desktop. Right click that file and choose 'compress'. Depending on where you are uploading or attaching it, you may need the compressed (zipped) version. This file ( the uncompressed version) is also your backup of your game saves, etc., in case you need to roll back to an older version. You should save a copy of this folder occasionally in case your game or computer crashes. Save it to an external drive. That way you could add this folder into a fresh install and recover your lost game should you need to. As a web designer, I can assure you that this is a lesson you don't want to learn the hard way (as I have). 😉

    We've been able to reproduce this now.  Thanks to all that have provided information and files for this.

  • I'm still getting this bug in my game as well. My spliced Tulip and Chrysanthemum bush flowered, but no Bird of Paradise appeared among the flowers and when I tried to harvest it, the flowers vanished off the bush but didn't appear in my inventory. I hope there's progress towards patching this.

  • I'm so glad this has been reproduced and is being worked on! I'd just like to add that the seeds gained from Patchy and from the seed packets will provide all seeds except Bird of Paradise - a plant will appear in the household inventory instead of a flower. Also, no matter how long my sims stay at a festival, none of the plants are harvestable, even when in season, which means no Bird of Paradise flowers available at the Romance festival either - which basically means that I cannot complete the gardening collection

    I haven't been able to notice if the BOP flowers or not, but I just wanted to touch on what SHAEDANNA said about the festivals. The plants don't provide any sort of ability to harvest from them for me either.

    Glad this is a know issue, I thought I was going crazy.
