I don't know if it's due to the new update itself or the eco lifestyle pack, but the harvastables in my saves have all reset to a just planted state. Even if I had the plant mature and saved it in a room in my gallery, when placing the room the plants are resetting again. Does anyone know how to fix it?

I don't know how to fix this issue, but I just wanted to let you know that I am also seeing this happen in my game as well. My community garden looks like it was just planted, even though this has been an ongoing garden for several real life years.

Are those plants on community lots? Because I just checked one residential lot, and quality is not reset. Visually they are "underground" (except trees), but I'm more concerned with quality due to future income.

I've also noticed that watering plants in the climbing potter doesn't count toward the 'water or weed 10 times'.

In addition to the OP's issue (which I also have) I find that my plants now reset to a just-planted state when i move them in build mode. I definitely regret moving my planter box of dragon fruits just a touch to the left now :#

If you have not done so already, you might want to put your question up on here https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/ct-p/the-sims-4-en or see if someone else has

I just noticed this, too, since the patch. When I restarted one of my two game saves, trying to get over some other problem, upon downloading their established estate from My Library, the plants, in most cases had returned to newly planted. Face/palm.

they are on residential lots. the quality does not reset, just the growth progress, which isn't the worst, but I had grown some of them specifically to put in gardening builds

I need to evolve some plants for the freelance botanist aspiration but it seems my plants are evolving by themselves. Most of them are perfect quality already.

Hmmm ... I'm having a plant issue as well, but it is a little different. I will try to keep it brief, here goes ... I have a room saved on my gallery filled with plants that are mostly Perfect (2 are Magnificent quality). I put the room on 2 different household lots and they all devolved to Nice quality. I am currently building on another lot and have added this room. I am hopeful, but will not be surprised if these plants devolve as well. It's just really frustrating as my Sim is top level with the Juice Fizzing and top quality ingredients are a must for Masterpiece work.

Don't worry, I'm sure they will reset just like everybody elses.
