@Trismagistos I did yes.

And also SimGuruMrE answered my post at the other forums and said they'd look into it if it was possible to add a section into patch notes for ongoing issues. 🙂

Hi @adduapina and all the posters on this thread:

It has been another two months since the last post was written here and still the gardening bug has not been sorted, and I don't know if anything is being done or it has been conveniently and silently swept under the carpet.

If any one knows of a thread and/or post by The Team, with any info or progress (or explaining as to why the lack of progress!) please let us know or re direct us there, I am just about to give up on this game altogether, the gardening bug first appeared at the beginning of June (five months ago) and it's still here.

So to me it appears that they hear us but they don't listen and they are very good at ignoring us.

Sorry Team but that is how it feels.

This thread is a request on communication with the player as to what is being done about sorting the bugs.

I have seen absolutely no answer to that, tomorrow another pack will be launched and with it a number of bugs (that's a certainty).

I will not be updating, I don't want anymore critters thank you, and I shall not be buying any more packs either, not worth it, they cause more pain than pleasure and the World is already suffering enough pain as it is.

I will keep an eye on this thread in case anyone knows more about this as I can not find any progress whatsoever.

@Xutchil Hi there. I just got a chance to look through the most recent patch notes and there's a mention like this "Did you ever experience the Honey I Shrunk the Basil and Sage Plants issue in-game? No longer! *No Sage or Basil Plants were harmed in the fixing of this issue*", which suggests that there has been an attempt to fix at least some of the gardening issues.

However at least my older save is unaffected by this fix and my basil plant is still turning back to a seed every once in a while... (insert eye roll).

Sorry that's all info I have on the subject.

  @adduapinaUnlike in your situation my Basil and Sage plants do tremendously well. Since the update they remained their original form as they had before the bug and stayed a 'normal' size even after my Sim harvested both plants and some of the grafted plants with a rootsystem made of either Basil and/or Sage.
  
  @XutchilI did not see any official Patchupdate notes yet but I did see a message of SimGuruGraham and SimGuruRusskii on an other platform:
  https://extratime.media/2020/11/10/sims-4-november-2020-update-full-patch-notes/
  After som searching I also found the official Patchupdate notes here: https://www.ea.com/games/the-sims/the-sims-4/news/update-notes-nov-10-2020?isLocalized=true
  I hope this will give you some of the answers you were looking for.
  
  Have fun playing. 😉

    @TrismagistosYea, I now see that I am only having this issue with the EL vertical garden. Might need to do a bug report on that later on.

  @adduapina, Thank you so much for the update.
  I have not been playing sims 4 for a few days, but I am going to load my game and check my garden! Last time I played the problem was still there (probably a week or so ago). I changed households (I rotate between 3 households in this save) and in one of the households my sim can not plant more than one seed at the time, if that, I have to visit other place with him and come back home and try to plant again. It's taking forever to plant in that lot.
  I will do a bit of checking and report back.
  Two other things I have noticed, one I read about it somewhere else, The emotion tree from Selvadorada will mostly produce only the emotion fruit planted, say flirty will produce flirty fruits, on occasion it will produce different fruits but these will always be of "normal" quality even if the tree is excellent or magnificent or whatever.
  The trash plant does not produce the 10 fruits the same as the plant, say if you have a "nice" Trash Plant it will have 8 or 9 nice trash fruits but one or two will be normal. Not a problem but an irritation. I just thought I'll mention it.
  Thank you so much for all your help, it is nice to know that some other players are still concerned about this issue, it makes me feel less alone....
  Take care, be safe and have a lovely weekend.
