I will 'me too' and can confirm in my game. In my tests:
- All items seem to be in place properly upon initially loading the household or retail lot.
- Flowers in the the flower table & personal inventory can be taken to another lot (in personal inventory) but when you return to the home lot they are no longer on the lot or in personal inventory. Exception: 6 begonias remain in my flower arranging table consistently. (Please see 'Note' below... this is apparently because of their quality. @Maple Simmer#4903 discovered this detail!)
- Prepared food in the refrigerator or Lice Cold Freezer seems to remain fine, but not produce left in either. Produce there is also stripped upon re-entry.
- The sim does not appear to receive any funds for the deleted produce and flowers.
- In storage chests, produce/herbs are stripped when re-entering the lot, but my fossils, collectable statues, magic beans, gems, and metals remained.
However...
- Produce and flowers that are still on their plants (not harvested yet) do appear to remain when leaving and re-entering the lot.
- Produce and flowers stored in the household inventory remain when returning.
Workarounds I found:
- You can sell the produce and flowers in your sims' personal inventory, flower arranging tables, and storage boxes before you leave the lot to make sure you get your money since they cannot be saved.
- You should be able to take flowers and produce to another lot with you in your personal inventory (to cook with on your retail lot, make flower arrangements with on a retail lot there, or sell on that lot. Just make sure you sell in inventory all that remains afterward of these items, as they will be deleted when you return to the lot, or if you try to return to the home with them.
💡 Note: I did not track by plant quality as @MapleSimmer mentioned - great catch - but I should possibly mention with that in mind that most or all of my plants are perfect in quality.
💡 **EDIT: I just re-tested the begonias that were left in the flower-arranging table on re entry... They were all 'normal' quality!**I'm so sad. I have sim households with many valuable flowers and produce items in inventory, so I share your pain. Plus this cuts deeply into my play-style with these households.
P.S.... I love your dancing mouse curser on the loading screen. 🙂
SheriGR ☕ – I play on Mac, no Mods or CC, & on current version.
I don’t work for EA.Me Too – if you also have this problem – first post on thread has this button
XP – for helpful comments (& to help others 'level up')
Mark As Solution – to help others find the answer to the issue now & in the futureI have been noticing the same for all my perfect death flowers.
Even when I reload a previous save.
I have also tried making copypasto copies of death flowers and they too will disappear upon travelling to a different lot.
Another glitch I have seen after the new patch is my "give potion" options appear multiple times in two action wheels.- crinrict6 years agoHero+
Question: Does this issue still crop up for you guys if you have University ?
Still happens with University pack
- crinrict6 years agoHero+
- @crinrict Happend just with the harvestable things in inventory with better then normal quality. Normal quality flowers and plants stayed. Worse is the fast decrease of needs of all sims, especially toddlers. I see there is so many mistakes after november patch, I hope they will make some fix soon...
I had a sim move home after university and all the fruits in his inventory disappeared, and I can't move anything out of his ICYA chest, except things where you can select "Place in World."
- @crinrict Yeah still happening after installing University Pack. I have repaired it several times.
Who has tried uninstalling everything - wiping the registry and then reinstalling everything and pasting in your save files? I've been having the same problem with harvestables, but I just opened my bookcase and it is empty. All my ROM tomes that I collected are gone. This may be a problem for anything that holds inventory of some kind?
- @liliflur I don't have ROM tomes disappearing problem. However, I keep my tomes in a chest.
Sorry I wasn't more clear, all my books from the bookcase were gone, it's just the ROM tomes missing I'm ticked off about. There isn't anything to suggest that ROM has anything to do with the bug. Thank-you for the info though, I'll try keeping the replacements in a chest until EA fixes this.
- danceswithchaos6 years agoNew Adventurer@Daemonten That is exactly what is happening with mine. Only the last time, I didn't even leave the lot. I just exited my game and when I re-opened all evolved items from the fridge and personal inventories were all gone. The normal level items seems to stay, anything evolved completely disappears. I think one household lost over 30k simoleons in dragonfruit and orchids... But I didn't notice it at first so if I go back, I lose over a sim week of gameplay for an 8 person household which takes forever.
I am in a new game and I downloaded lots I previously saved to the gallery. I created a brand new sim and collected perfect, magnificent, excellent, and nice plants and added them to garden plots. I then saved the room to the gallery. No plants would save, just an empty room. I then changed the fence to walls and added a roof. Same thing. No plants will save, just an empty room.
You can see that the room I am saving has plants in it, but in the gallery no plants are saved.
Saving the lot, it looks like it saves all of the plants.
Doesn't really help me for the garden plots I was trying to save though.
I tweeted this url to the simgurus. Hopefully one of them will read the tweet. If not, can others tweet them so that it gets their attention. Thanks
@troshalom I see in your screenshots that you have sprinklers in the room, and I'm not sure what type of flooring, if any. I also see that it looks like you have a Mod &/or CC in place? Anyway, I thought I would mention the method I used for my plant rooms in the past. I'm assuming it works the same currently, but it may not:
- If you want a greenhouse with sprinklers and plants, in order for the plants to save with it I think you will need to upload to the library/gallery as a lot. Following is a technique I have used to make greenhouses with sprinklers to add to the gallery (as a lot), or as part of my lot/home. https://youtu.be/6ngR906BiCs
I just re-added an old build I had where I did this combination/technique for the greenhouse in the back yard: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/DEA0B7E00A2211EA827BBA891CD6F027 - You can upload a 'greenhouse shell' as a room, and also upload a plant room to add to the shell room. I have done this in the past and took them out of the gallery, but I just re-added them just in case this would be useful for you to see.

Plant Room: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/86612C8EC36811E884D16995527B6279
You can load plants in a room though: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/pc/gallery/D25D5DEBDF2C11E886F3526B46B29011

@SheriGR I removed the sprinklers and bee box to see if they were the problem. I saved the Alien Patch to the gallery, this outdoor garden room has three types of plants in it. Only one plant type saved.
1
1- My garden plot with 3 plant types. 2 - only one plant type will upload 3 - garden plot in the gallery 4 - garden plot I downloaded from the gallery with only one plant type.
Also, I am using the pre-made Gardening Haven room from Seasons. I modified it and removed the floor so I can plant plants in the ground.
I have actually downloaded a garden room with perfect alien plants, but cannot upload those same items back if they are in the ground. I never had that problem in the past. I have downloaded gardens that were in the ground and not in pots.
I tried it again with plants downloaded from the gallery.
1- item from the gallery. 2-I placed plants in the ground only one plant uploads. 3-I place plants back in the pot they will upload.
This is a bug.
@troshalom If the plants are planted directly into the ground I believe the they must be saved as a lot, not a room to make the transition to library & gallery and back to placement.
Edit... I just tested with the tentacle tree an alien fruit plants I have... The tentacle tree did upload and download in a room planted directly into the ground, but not the alien fruit plant. However, if they were in planters in a room and not directly in the ground they both uploaded and downloaded to my library, and all of them - directly in the ground or in a room or not uploaded and downloaded in a lot.
Also, I should mention that trees need a room of medium height or tall height or they will delete when placed, and if you place trees in a room on a lot it must have medium or tall walls or the tree will delete when placing. Workaround if your home has regular height walls you can go down a couple of levels of basement, make a room there and make the height of that room medium or tall, place your tree room from the gallery there, grab the tree and plant it, then delete those rooms.@SheriGRIt's a bug. I put them all in pots in a room with a floor, walls and roof and the plants did not save. It is a bug.
You can save a room with mature plants to the Gallery. Search and you'll see rooms saved in the past. It is a bug.- jmeadowbrook6 years agoNew Hotshot@danceswithchaos Same here. Lost well over that § amount due disappeared harvestables (my 60 death flowers in one sim's inventory were worth §667 a piece, dragonfruit & orchids, etc. even worse). Now my sims can't even fertilize their own gardens. I've only played two households since the update and download of 'Discover University'. All harvestable inventory gone, and lots of empty food plates (§0) in household inventory. It is annoying.
- jmeadowbrook6 years agoNew Hotshot@danceswithchaos In my game, one doesn't even have to leave the lot. The harvestables simple just disappear from the inventory the next day.
Having the same problem as everyone else. All harvestables, with the exception of the ones of normal quality, are gone! Years of work...just gone. Even when restocked, they disappear either the next day or when I leave the lot. There seems to be no fix for this bug. Everything was working fine until the patch update last week. I've put a lot of time and money into this game; seems to me that EA should fix the bug THEY created or refund me my money back!
Hope that ea fix this bug soon, it ruins my whole game.
I had a little more time now to pay attention to the quality, and it's the same in my game as everybody says.
To me it seems to be a general issue of the game not "seeing" plants of higher quality.
My sim often fishes with plasma fruit as bait. But when the plasma fruit is of higher quality than normal, the fishing animation gets cancelled, and the sim just stands around. I can choose the plasma fruit in the bait menu (so the game "sees" them there, which I admit is inconsistent with my theory 🤨) but when the fishing should then start, the game seems to think there's nothing in the inventory. Same with wolfsbane, garlic and Sixam Mosquito Trap seeds.
I think this bug is in some capacity to do with some kind of check for items and that check is returning an incomplete response or it's returning something completely irrelevant, but that's just my limited programming at work.
However, I am also getting this from my flower arranging table since it appears to delete all flowers, fruit, vegetables and collectibles (in other words, anything you can concievably use to make something else). I have a lot of flowers stashed in the table and when I return to the lot for whatever reason (e.g. a debate event), those flowers APPEAR to still be there but all the interactions do not occur since it's looking for missing items.
Hard to actually do anything creative, with the exception of painting, with this issue at hand.
@c9956b777ce96a00I have the same thing happening when I cook or make potions. There seems to be some sort of weird stuck/unstuck thing happening with perfect produce.
When I'm brewing a potion, if my sim keeps cancelling out the brewing action, then I know the veggie is in the stuck position. To get it unstuck, I take the veggie from where it is then put it back again (for instance, if it is lemons in the fridge - I take the lemons out of the fridge and put them in my inventory. I then put the lemons back into the fridge.) The brewing action should work the next time.
That's also how I keep my stuff from disappearing - when I enter the game to play, I take the perfect harvestables from my fridge and put them in my inventory (to unstick them). I then put the perfect harvestables back in the fridge. Now if I go visit somewhere, my harvestables won't disappear when I come home.- jmeadowbrook6 years agoNew Hotshot@troshalom If the plants are in a room (which will then have a concrete floor), they must be in planters or pots (otherwise they will disappear).
