Can’t graft onto a plant

And here I am in April 2025    with this problem.  My sim can take cuttings, but cannot graft them on to plants.

Both the cuttings plant and the receiving plant are in season.  Yes I have the seasons pack.....and it causes so many problems.  I wish we could turn the seasons OFF or un-install it

Hey there,
 
This thread is quite a few years old and is being locked here to avoid further necroposting.
 
Feel free to create a new thread if there's a subject you're wanting to discuss that doesn't have a more recent topic, thanks!

I tried porting my Sims to a new save and now regret it. I can graft on to some things again but can't evolve some of the plants, and some will. My teen randomly was a young adult when I started the new world. I set him back, but he had to start from the bottom again.  My other two sims, go to school but don't register as there. do not get quests or go home unless I ask them to travel whenever they finish writing a book now the book doesn't go into their inventory they stop writing and can't continue the book. I traded one error for a whole lot of errors. Was it worth it. definitely not. but trying again with another new save,

Save the household to your Library and create a new game and import the household in CAS. Replace the autogenerated sim.

@suzushka I actually don't use it for that. I keep a copy of anything I want to make sure is saved in my library, and only share certain of these with the gallery. The reason I shared a version of each of my plants to the gallery, plus my 'mulit-plants', is because others download them. Many of them are perfect, and some are spliced to include all base-game harvestables of a 'type' (fruits, veggies, herbs, tree fruits), and one has all flowers, spliced into perfect sage so they are year-round. Great choice for a small coking garden and income - or a florist. Plus some download for ingredients to make recipes/spells/etc. Kind-of gallery shopping, if they want. (Or is some bug broke or deleted your hard work/plants.)

@suzushka Thanks for sharing your troubleshooting. I'll keep placement in mind, but when I made that greenhouse I had never even tried MOO yet, so moo-placement is not the issue in mine. I wouldn't be surprised if it's a combo of things. For now I plan to stay out of that lot, and I want to build atm, but eventually I will end up testing plants more thoroughly.

My main gardening households are millionaires, and I have their plants saved in my library (and the gallery) so if worse comes to worse I'll re-download my garden plants after they fix it. I'll survive since I mostly build now, but I am crazy about gardening in-game, so I hope they fix it soon.

Thanks for sharing your findings!! 🙌

I was sincerely alarmed when I saw this thread last night because I have an absurd gardening addiction too.

So obviously had to check on my garden functionality stat.

I found a number of random problems like you (mine were less devastating, but i wholly feel your pain 🙁). After experimenting it seemed most of them were related to positioning, broadly speaking. Some plants/planters that were placed using bb.moveobjects and worked fine pre-patch were no longer occupying valid positions post-patch. That wasn’t immediately obvious because the items with newly invalid positions didn’t get booted to household inventory and looked completely normal. I only clued in after moving a plant out of a planter and then trying to put it back. In those cases, actively re-positioning problem plants in build mode post-patch restored functionality. There was also a really weird issue with a UFO plant in an indoor single plant pot that was placed without fine-tuning position and which was completely accessible, but which wouldn’t register that it was being watered, despite the animation completing. Moving it outside solved that problem temporarily. But...winter is coming. (yep. total GoT reference.). Basically, the long way of saying: maybe some of your gardening woes might resolved if you tweak the problem objects in build mode. I have a running list of minor bugs that ill cross reference to bug reports soon, but wanted to share this specifically  in case it helps. Following a similar line of thought, buying/replacing buggy objects (e.g., your errant sprinkler) is prob worth a shot. Good luck!

Glad you fig’d out you had a buggy save file. It probably wouldn’t have cross my mind to try that, actually, since i would have assumed the patch caused the bug and any game file i created before the patch would have been affected. Kudos to you! When you say you created a new save, do you mean you reverted to a previous point in your game by loading an older save and played that forward? Just curious - I mentally file potential solutions for future use.

🙃

Note: All of my buggy plants were partially functional. For example, I could harvest them.
