Is your garden still bugged?

I still get the dirt pile bug and I can't figure out what causes it. I no longer use the great soil lot trait, I harvest before tending the garden, and it doesn't happen when I fertilize the plant every time.

I had it happen when I have only one plant, (one or more plants) in planters or in the ground (inside building or outside) and in the middle of the day when my sim is doing something else on his or her lot, I'll notice that one or more plants converted back to the dirt pile. I had it happen sometimes after fertilizing, after evolving, in the middle of the day, (after going into build mode and adding decorations) and while tending the garden.

I think I'll try to get a plant to perfect where it stops evolving and see it stops converting back to the dirt pile. (And if that doesn't work, I'll turn off the EL environment effecting in the settings).

This sounds a bit like my game….. but my reverting tends to happen around 7 am. Someone said that you should fast forward through 7 am, and fertilize the plant when you can ( though previously I have had the plant reverting after fertilizing ). I now try to make sure I fast forward through 7 am, harvest before 7 am, save before 7 am, make sure i’m on the lot in the early morning hours ( instead of sending my sims to a different lot ). I don’t go into CAS from the lot and try to remember to save before I do send my sims off lot and save before going into build mode. In fact I feel like I am continually saving so that if my plants do revert, I can end the game without saving and go back in. It is extremely annoying, and is the main reason I rarely play my game. That is the biggest bug I have had in my game though I have had a few annoying other bugs as well since then, and I play a vanilla game, I never used mods or CC in the sims 4, hoping that it would keep bugs from happening ( I’m not real tech savvy anyway, I’d probably mess up my game putting them in, and I have had my main save, a rotational save, from 2014, re-saving the game every so often ). So, I hope they are able to fix this bug. I loved playing the game till this big showed up as many of my sims garden, and it is easier to use the simple living lot trait if your sims garden, This bug started with my main sim which I haven’t played in two years because she has a huge greenhouse and had her dragon fruit reverted ( she depended on them to help pay bills, of which she has quite high ones ). But my cottage living sims also garden which I am having this annoying bug with. I need to check if I have taken out the great soil trait on my gardening lots. But running through fast forward through 7 am ( and staying on lot ) seems to have helped some. I have not actually played my sims in my main game for 3 weeks because I tend to get so annoyed over the reverting bug…..
