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.
GalacticGal Yeah, it's weird that the perfect plants still show they need to be fertilized but don't appear to actually need it. After the first lot I played after EBN, I haven't fertilized any perfect plants. No ill effects either. Same as always. And keep in mind that if you have perfect seeds when you replant, you'll get perfect plants right off the bat when they get full size so that is a better option sometimes than trying to troubleshoot a troublesome garden.
When I started this save 2 years ago due to my earlier save corrupting, I salvaged and reinstalled a bunch of my custom lots from my old save. Almost all of them had full gardens, mostly in a basement. I had all kinds of issues with them. Some worked, some didn't and all sorts of weirdness. So, I ended up destroying all the plants and replanting the entire thing before things started working as they ought to. Also had to replace all the vertical planters as well due to an issue with upgrades on them.
Hope this helps.
