GalacticGal I decided to do some more testing, just to be sure. This time, when I fertilized a perfect quality plant, it changed from Depleted to Good. I'm not sure why it didn't change earlier. I even tried Horse Manure, and it worked. So, I don't know why it didn't change for you. Whatever the case, it still did not affect the harvestables. My sim got the same amount of money from selling them when the status was Depleted and also when the status was Good. When harvesting, the "fruits" still had the Perfect quality label in my sim's inventory. So, I do think it's okay to ignore the fertilizer status for Perfect plants. We only need to fertilize plants to increase their ability to evolve. I'm pretty sure we'll still need to water, weed and spray for bugs as needed to ensure they don't die.
Yes, my Sim has hired a full-time Gardner to lend a hand. Thank you so much. I may have misspoke earlier. I should have said that every time I check the plants, even after they've been fertilized, they all say depleted. But, if it doesn't truly affect the quality, I simply won't worry about it. So, thanks!
As a further follow up, I've recently noticed there is nothing to harvest, either. I am toying with the notion of just deleting the beautiful green house. If my Sim can't have plenty of apples and carrots for his horses, what is the point?
GalacticGal I had that problem when I moved some plants from a house I had moved from, I could never harvest them and they never got to harvestable. I had to destroy them and plant new. Lucky I had seeds from the old house still.
I placed a mod in my game, Garden Fix. To activate it, I had to have a Sim plant something. I did. The very next gaming session I was thrilled to see grapes dangling from bushes and some potatoes ready to harvest. Since some weird things happened during my 'test' of this mod, like Sims' arms doing straight-armed hugs, I have since removed said mod. Sadly. I will either take you up on the notion of starting all over, this garden is very mature and plentiful, heavy sigh, it may be the only thing I can do.
Before I get all nuts over it, I shall see what happens in a brand new save I'm in the midst of starting. If their crops do well, I may have to put it down to my other Main save, just being too old. It was started Jun/July of 2024, while I awaited the move to the new forums.
