Re: How is the Prairie Grass Challenge Meant to Work?

As I mentioned in the bug report I did test this in a new and unmodded save. You have no idea how much of my time I already spent investigating prairie grass.

    I tested this lot myself. The first morning two grasses spawned on the lot and some in the neighborhood. So since it takes an extra day before you can harvest it was not possible to follow the rest of your directions since the lot already had spawned grass. Did you place a lot from the Gallery (you mention a starter) if so did you check if the lot challenge was enabled on it?

    Did you remember to delete localthumbcache.package?

    I did. With the instructions I wrote on https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/HR-Wild-Prairie-Grass-Lot-Challenge-does-not-work-if-you-harvest/m-p/12771562/highlight/true#M254838 I can reproduce the issue every time. The grass in the neighborhoods can be harvested almost instantly (you might have to wait a short time for it to spawn or regrow and you will obviously have to look around to find them if you are not familiar with the neighborhood yet). With my instructions I can harvest 13 grass objects (from outside my own lot) on the first day in the save before it's even nighttime for the first time.

    I would really appreciate if you stopped gaslighting people that obviously put a lot of effort and their free time into improving and contributing to a product that they paid money for. I'm not stupid. I know how to test and I never reported a bug without checking it on a fresh and unmodded save.

    I won't answer on this thread anymore.

    On the first day in a new save there are never any grasses in the world or on the lot the day I start a new save. Did you perhaps create a new family to move in from Manage world in an existing save? I know that many play rotationally like this. Also how many animals (horses and goats/lamb) do you have on the lot? I ask because I have many on Big Ranch and the number of grasses on that lot increased from 12 to 14 as I had a foal.

    I ask these questions not because I'm trying to "gaslight" you but because I want to be sure exactly how you test since I in a new save can not confirm either that there is a limit of 10 grasses on a lot and that there should be wild grasses in the world on the first day. In my tests a few spawns the day after but not the amount you report and they are not immediately harvestable more will spawn in the world in the coming days.

    BTW. I will see you answers sooner if you remember to tag me like I do you.
