Cannot research some plants
I just notice in I game that I cannot research some plants and I don't know why. They are in the same stage and the option for research (pesquisar) and take a cut (pegar corte) is only available in s...

@jupkmn I just played your home for about 5-6 days in-game. Upon placing the home most (but not all) of the in-season plants, along with the out-of-season ones (I have seasons in my game, so a bunch of the plants you had stayed a dirt pile the whole time, as this happens when out of season.) I didn't realize until some of the Sim days passed that the plants on the right side of the house were trees - one in-season for me and one not. Neither of them turned to a tree yet the whole time I tested, plus at least one in-season plant still hadn't revived from dirt (though the rest that were in-season did), but all of that dirt fidgetiness (and some of the plant bugginess) I expect you're aware of...
All that said, I still had the expected interactions come up per gardening level for the same two Sims in my other test:
- The Sim at gardening level 1 could only water (if it needed watering) or uproot.
- The Sim at gardening level 10 could research or take a cutting (plus the additional options per level) from all plants that were in full bloom and in season.
Do you have Mods/CC, and have you tested this issue with them removed, along with the cache file? (I'm adding directions for this in the spoiler tag below - you could start a start a new game save and place this home and test in that... no need to open or save within any game saves that you have going, just as a way of confirming if any Mods/CC are causing the issue:

Try moving the Mods folder from your "The Sims 4" folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4] to your desktop (save it for reference) and delete the localthumbcache.package file in your “The Sims 4” folder. Then check in a new game save to see if this issue is still occurring. You can test without saving in order to identify which CC/Mods are causing the issue, then remove or add updated version(s) of the Mod/CC causing the issue.
@SheriGR Hi, I played with base game only and noticed that I cannot research plants after fertilizing, harvesting or selling the harvest. Some plants stayed like that for many in-game days, to the point the evolution bar was ready to evolve, but the "evolve" action was also not available when clicking the plant. Weirdly enough the plants were ok when I saved the lot and them put it anywhere. For now, the only way I found to kind of correct this, is using "testingcheats on", clicking on the plant and setting it to "adult", it seems to do some kind of reset and all the actions become available. Note that the plants that I cannot do the actions are not dirt piles, they look like normal adult plants, but apparently they act like dirt piles. Some plants becomes dirt piles after fertilizing, but not all.
@jupkmn Thank you for sharing your observations and workaround. I would think this set of facts would make a helpful bug report, if you're willing to create one and add your information and workarounds to it. Nice detective work! 🙌
