Cannot Fertilize Mature Cowplant

PC, mods removed/disabled

I was able to initially fertilize while it was growing, but not mature. I looked online and this appears to be a known issue since July 2025 (around EbN) but I saw no open bug reports (feel free to merge if I am wrong). Edit: also though there is a water status, they can't be watered after matured either.

    I have a post about this type of frustration  here. "Waiting for additional reports" is very frustrating, especially when I can show them the internal files where there is an error/oversight X /

    I feel you that CAS tags just seem less important, than actual gameplay errors. One suggestion I have in the post I linked, is to fast track errors if either it is confirmed by a trusted source (like crinrict) and/or if internal files are provided for the exact issue (as proof). Instead of waiting for the average user to notice the error or issue, let alone report/upvote reports.

    So does needing additional reports just mean not worth fixing to the Sims team? Or too hard to fix? Because it's 100% reproducible and not a one off. I've had this for a long time and was happy to find this posted to vote on. You have to put other plants around it and "fertilize all" in order to fertilize a cow plant now. Bugs with less votes have been fixed before but I guess it's only if it's easy for you to fix likes CAS tags? I follow so many bugs that are actively in my game and every time I get a new status notification for them it's been a let down. They're either switched to " needs more info" or "awaiting additional reports". There's no transparency on what the threshold is for these tags either other than to stall fixing them imo.
