My Apples are Herb Bushes, not Apple Trees?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.63.136.1010
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Everything apart from Eco Lifestyle
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Grow an apple tree (I've not tried any other tree harvestables)
What happens when the bug occurs? Plant the apple tree, grows as a shrub (like the herb bushes). Can't harvest, but can water.
What do you expect to see? The apple tree grows as a tree
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure

‌

I started a new save, and opened a "starter fruits" seed packet, planted the apples from there, and all six trees look like basil bushes. Haven't tried any other tree harvestables.

Hi @PoptartJuniper that's not what I was seeing, they were genuinely like the Basil plants. One of my old mods had crept it's way into my game and completely messed up my gardening. I managed to fix it last night and now my apples grow apple trees again. Thank you for your help @PoptartJuniper and @crinrict ... I'll close this now 🙂

@honnahoops Could you post some pictures ?

At what point did you remove your mods ? After or before planting ?

@crinrict I'll have to log back into my game later, but yes I can 🙂
I should have stated that my mods weren't installed into my game when I started my new save. I saw people were having issues with save files (patch before this one), so started a completely new save. The issue still exists with the newest patch (10/06/2020).

@crinrict I've also got that issue in my game (it's only happening with herb bushes), but this is completely different.. once I've planted an apple, it's growing as a completely different plant! I'll log into my game now and get some pictures.

@honnahoops I tried this out in my game and this is what I found.
I put down planters in the fall (apple tree time) then purchased the starter fruits as you indicated. After planting them, they sprouted.
A couple in game days later they finished growing and were full trees.
So are the sprouts what you are seeing and thinking they are herb plants?
