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!

Unfortunately, there's also a bug with the vertical garden in that the plants won't evolve when planted there. ☹️
Actually they do evolve. The bug is that the evolve option do not disappear as it should. You can see that the glimmer around the plant do disappear.
There is also a problem with the vertical garden. For some reason plants keep reverting to seeds. Randomly, and my sheltered plants just dissappear randomly. As sheltered plants that makes no sense, and it does it when there is no season change. The gardening part of this was RUINED. They need to patch this ASAP.
