I kept getting this error message in HoB.

Specifically in Old New Henford. Only I didn't have any grapes or daisies on my farm. I also kept getting a bunch of Last Exceptions. Well thanks to the kind folks at the MC Command Center discord the mysteries are all solved and so I wanted to share with you guys in case you run into the same thing. You won't get the error message pictured until you've played in Old New Henford long enough to have the wild harvestables spawn.

The source of the errors is the little community garden in that neighborhood. Plants are spawning in mid-air above the planters then trying to germinate when the game tells them to but can't. You can solve this by turning on testing cheats and then right clicking the floating plants and choosing destroy objects. In addition to the grapes and daisies in my save there were others like tulips and beans. I destroyed them all.

The last exceptions were caused by two things, this is where the MCCC discord comes in. They told me it was a clay blob and an "ambitious" meat cube :D . The clay blob resides in the little playground in Old New Henford,

and the meat cube had generated in the planter box of the community garden spot. I destroyed both employing the method mentioned above. It was in the search for these two items that I found the cause of the error message above.

After destroying the items I saved. I hope this helps anyone else who is maybe having weird error messages generating about plants not germinating that they don't even have to save valuable play time hunting them down.

    Thank you so much for sharing the fix when you found it. No names, but I sigh a bit when someone shares a problem, then comes back and just edits to say "solved, please delete".

    I haven't run into this yet, and 2 of my 3 played households are in New Old Henford. Which lot do you play on, if I may ask?


    3 Old Mill Road, is my lot, and you’re welcome. I’m always glad to help. It’s such a weird glitch I played the save for a few days before I started getting the message about the daisies and grapes. If the clay and meat cube hadn’t started throwing LEs I likely wouldn’t have figured the other ones out.
  • I had this type of notification prior to Cottage Living (we need to come up with a shortened name, not to be confused with City Living). True, enough I was using cc Harvestables made by Icemunmun. But all I needed to do was to place them out on the lawn, as opposed to the largest gardening box available. Sure enough, the seed would sprout. I shall have to try transferring the burgeoning plant to inside at some point, to see if that's possible. Most of my crops are inside the greenhouse.

    I don’t have any cc harvestable plants, I could have planted them but it seemed like too much effort for a non-editable community garden, plus one of the plants there by default was dead so I had my sim remove it. But it seemed weird for a plant on a community lot like that to die, so I am thinking that maybe it wasn’t built entirely correct.
  • This is great info, thanks for the heads up!
    One of my spellcasters live at 3 Old Mill Road, so in case there's a case of floating daisies, peculiar clay blobs and other weird anomalies I know now where to find those little rascals! :D
    Deletrius!
