Gardening bugs with Eco-Lifestyle
Something has gone terribly wrong with plants and gardening. Last night, I decided to try out a gardening sim with the new expansion. So I planted a bunch of things (at normal quality) and played f...

I am having trouble with my plants too, I had trees fully grown and when I went to play the game two of the trees had gone to just planted stage, some plants disappeared after being planted by my sim and later on turned up on the ground as in pre planting stage, please sort this, gardening is very important in my game play. I don't think I will be playing sims 4 if not fixed.
Very unhappy player!
I’m having the same problem with sage and basil, in particular, they keep flipping back and forth between bush and plant.
All plants are also reverting from fully grown to just-planted stage a lot of the time, usually overnight, but I can’t at the moment find anything that triggers it. It’s a mess, basically.
A workaround for this is to buy a vertical garden and drag the affected plants there. They will regain correct size and stay that way.

Interesting, thanks. I just tried it - I’m on the first gen. of a Differences in the Family Tree challenge so gardening is crucial! It worked for the plants I put back into an ordinary garden planter but not for those I put back into the open ground. I foresee hours at the woodworking bench for my Sims...That particular bug doesn’t seem to affect trees as obvs they don’t fit vertical planters so that wouldn’t help, but they suffer regularly from the other bug I mentioned of reverting to the newly-planted state, often overnight and at season changes. Haven’t found a workaround for that, it affects them whether they’re in planters or in open ground.
It makes making a living for a first generation that isn’t allowed to get a career a real challenge!
I'm having the same problem. I'm trying to play a decade challenge and found out about it. I also discovered that the cow plate does the same thing but it will still be fully grown just look like it's in the non-grown stage. It needed a feeding and I had sent my sim to feed it and while he was walking over to it the plant reverted to the beginning stage of growth but I still had the option to feed, play and pet it. I don't know why there are soooo may bugs with this new expansion. It makes the game just about unplayable. I actually think I am done playing it until they fix the bugs. With the gardening bugs, toddler bugs, and the sim eating bug I have had enough for now. I have plenty of other game I have been neglecting while I play this that I guess will have to do for now.
