Re: using garden plot

When I open the seed packets I immediately have the vegetable, fruit, herb or whatever in my inventory. The icon for "plant" is not highlighted so I can put it in the world but then the only action for my sim to do with it is eat it. 

I know I've planted before with another sim in another world so I don't know why this guy is different.

I don't have the Seasons add on so it's not that. 

Thanks for your help.

Be sure you are placing them on the ground or in a planter box.
Test by being on your own lot. Which lot / world are you in when you try to plant?
Some pre-built lots use flooring that looks like terrain paint. I was fooled by more than one of these.
:Oops:
Mods or cc might also interfere. Are you on console, PC or Mac?

@EuphorialQueen, thanks for mentioning the terrain paint that looks like grass or dirt 💡... I didn't think of that! 🤭

@clayslinger, Is this problem only happening with the one household ?  Have you tried other households.  And does the same thing happen if you are playing a different Save Game file?🤔  I ask this because it sounds like either your Sim, or the family, or the house/lot might be glitching.  But if you get the same result in a different save game file or in a different house/lot then something else is going on. 🤨
And like @EuphorialQueen  asked , please tell us if you use Mods or Custom Content (CC) as outdated Mods/CC can cause problems too, so we have to look into that if you use them. 😇
