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...

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 have not seen any trees be affected by this bug. Do you have any Mods installed? Especially mods related to gardening. Or is the affected tree spliced with a normal plant?
I only have MCCC by Deaderpool and the folder was out of the game when I had this issue. So with or without the Mods the issue is there. Also, I have noticed that my sim has lost all record of Collections, it shows as he has not found anything despite the fact that he had collected all Artifacts from Selvadorada exploration also frogs, fish etc, well, all is blank now.
What is going on? I am so not pleased about this!
the losing of collection happens 2 me all the time now when i move any sim into an existing household, the whole house resets with sims on front sidewalk and collections blank, i have to manually put all fish from tanks, items on shelves back into any sim's inventory, unfortunately, if a sim learned a fish like treefish thru conversation it no longer appears so they lose out
when did this problem start... back in oct 2019 when ea customer service told me to reinstall all packs when the seasons calendar was having that disappearing holiday glitch, which the reinstall didnt fix the glitch,they later released a patch in nov fixing the glitch. since 2014 never had problem merging,then reinstalled now have to live with it.
But back to your lost collection, if you did reinstall recently and moved a new sim into an existing household and it happened, then you probably have the same problem as me and have to put the items back in any sims inventory

My only mod is MC, which at least allows me to cheat the plants back to fully grown state so they can be harvested.
I played a test game without MC. It made no difference, some plants still reverted to pre-planted state once harvested and sometimes all plants reverted to just-planted. Both happened when the plants we’re outside and when they were sheltered.
I only have pear, plantain and cherry trees in my current game, none spliced - they revert to the just-planted state with everything else but don’t seem affected by the pre-planted effect.
I think the reverting to just-planted happens after coming out of build/buy but not every time, so I’m not sure.
I've just had a pomegranate tree turn to soil over night ☹️
