Re: [FIXED] Splicing doesn't produce new harvestable

I own all the packs (except the small pets). I do not have either mods or cc in my game. I noticed this right after the garden patch update. I was hoping maybe it would resolve after installing Seasons but still is an issue. The evolving issue is making it impossible to complete the Freelance Botanist Aspiration. 

Level 2:
    Achieve Level 4 Gardening Skill
    Evolve 5 different plants
Level 3:
    Achieve Level 6 Gardening Skill
    Graft onto 3 plants
    Fertilize 5 plants
This has always seemed backwards to me. I have always thought the fertilizing goal should be level two of the aspiration with evolving under level three. As it stands (and as previous stated) my gardeners reach level ten way before even completing the second stage of this aspiration. And with grafting on the fritz growing a cowplant is out of the question unless you happen to catch one while fishing.

    Starting in fall my gardener has been working non-stop thru more than three Sim years. He was finalle able to evolve the required five plants. BUT **nothing** has evolved past nice. As a matter of fact the strawberries and snapdragons are still only on normal level. He has reached level nine of the gardener career. BUT cannot complete the Freelance Botanist aspiration because no plants are evolving to excellent.

    And forget about grafting to get new plants it just does not happen. I love this game but this just makes me sad.

    There is a lovely cheat for evolving plants. With testingcheats on, right click the plant, choose the Set gardening State, choose Plant Evolution, and then choose ready to evolve. Voila!

    I'm wondering if the splices don't work because it's the wrong season for the produce that isn't showing up. My sage/basil splice worked and produces parsley, but my other splices just give the original plant's fruit. I'm still in Spring of my first year so it's just a thought.

    Splicing is not producing the new hybrid variety for me either. 

    As a side note, none of the skill level cheats are working either (on my PC). I'm going to try disabling all my CC tonight and see if that helps.
