Reaper's Rewards: Planting Flowers/Trees not checking off

I have cleared all the tasks for week 2 except for plant apple and plant cherry. I have planted several of them but the tasks won’t complete. I have tried removing all my mods, starting a new save file, removing the entire the sims 4 folder and generating a new one but nothing works. 
I have the lasted update and didn’t experience any problems before but now this and my game has also crashed and wouldn’t load one of my saves for a couple of tries (until I added a mod back in).
