I really see why simmers are constantly asking for fixes in the game before new stuff is added. In fact, I thought this last patch would finally address my complaints regarding the Money Tree feature not working properly in the game. From what I can tell, it has never worked in my Sims 4 game. Btw, I have no mods, etc.Has anyone else had trouble with the money trees planted in their games as well?Forex. as soon as they bloom and look ready to harvest. My sim never gets the option to harvest or sell anything. It just says options like research, take a sample, etc. Of course, if my Sim does the latter, the leaves just disappear and nothing happens. Also, when I try to sell the whole tree as some sim player once suggested on the EA forum, It just says $0 as it's value. I have made many complaints to EA about this on their help page, but I guess they have no plans to ever fix this or address it. It's frustrating because your Sims works hard to cultivate the tree and then, nothing. I also heard some others on the EA help forum with same or similar problem, but I guess they are being ignored too, lol.

@MsKatieRose the only time I had a problem was when I bought the money tree instead of the money tree SEED in build/buy. Other than that I've always gotten money.

Yes I have noticed this - I think part of the problem is the messed up gardening - try putting it in a green house

Anyone Else Having Trouble With The Money Tree feature?

Afaik, you can't ever harvest from money trees. You only get the option to sell from them. I have grown a money tree in the last week or two and haven't had any trouble with it, so they do seem to be working.

Are you only having trouble with your money tree, or are other plants affected as well? My money tree is also growing in Glimmerbrook and it's been working fine. I bought mine from the rewards store and planted outdoors, directly in the ground, if that makes a difference.
Another thing you could try, if the tree looks ready to harvest but you're not getting an option to harvest, is to try placing the tree in the household inventory. I did that trick a couple of times so I can get more fruits to plant and also some to 'gift' to another household.

I find if i get a seed from buydebug in build it never works but if i get any with satisfaction points they work fine

Also if i splice a money tree shoot to another tree i can then harvest the money seeds from the spliced tree and plant those or give them to my other sims to plant

Is yours planted in a square planter? If so, try moving it to the ground or a small round planter instead.

Yes, they are planted in a square planters. I will see if it makes a difference. Thanks

Happy to help (if it helps!). :) If it does work, let us know. Seems a bit daft to me if the planter makes a difference; Maxis should probably address that if it's a thing.

Btw, I was finally able to harvest money from the trees in your build along with some others I didn't even know about all this time. I've been planting mostly orchids all this time for profit, lol. Haven't tried placing the trees in another lot yet. But either way, thanks. Oh and what a profitable, interesting, garden and production station (along with the fizz equipment) you have on that lot! :)
