Plants are still reverting. :(

Could it be that old plants won't get fixed, but that new plants will be fine? Did anyone try to start a garden from scratch?

I am doing just that, now.

Are your plants in season? Does this happen when fertilizing or randomly?

In season, it happens after watering. I haven't personally had it after fertilising. I had it happen to a money tree as well, so it's definitely not just a seasonal thing.

I also had it happen to my cowplants which my Sim was growing alongside her regular plants. Two full grown cowplants instantly turned to bone when the other plants turned to dirt. So I don’t think it has to do with the seasons themselves/whether the plant is in season, as I’m pretty sure the cowplant can be grown in any season.

I played my 100 baby challenge today and the first time in a long time the baby mom was able to harvest the dragon fruits. I was so surprised that they grew. I was used to them just reverting to dirt piles just before they grew. So, it looks like something positive has happened.
I don't trust it fully yet until I play more, also other saves with gardens on other lots, but it's promising. :)

I feel like they have attempted to fix this bug in at least 3 patches by now.

That is still nothing compared to the 7 failed patches against the carry-the-laundry-bag bug ?.

I make my "invisible" roof for plant shelter for the plants to work in any seasons. However, sometimes my plants will go back down to dirt, very annoying. :s

And this is why I wait up to three months to update my game sometimes. I always wait a day or two after an update release just to see if the fixes are working, but I haven't updated since May 13th. In my game it doesn't matter if my Sims are watering, fertilizing, the season has changed, or during harvesting....it just happens. I disabled all the EL options, set my worlds to neutral, and my plants still revert back to the just planted stage. Sometimes it happens in the middle of the night, other times it happens just as my Sims are walking toward their garden to harvest. My Sim leaves to go out to eat and when they return home the garden is a wasteland of dirt mounds. I have replanted with seeds bought through debug and it still happens. It even happens in a vanilla game so I know for a fact this is not a mod issue. I delete all pertinent caches upon exiting the game after every session, too. That is a habit I got into after Seasons was released. Back in February I pulled my old Sims4 folder and rebuilt my mods and CC folders from the ground up after reinstalling the game and creating new saves. Nothing changed with this darn bug. By far this is the most annoying of all the bugs I have dealt with over the years. And it will destroy Cottage Living even before it's released if the teams don't find a way to nuke it. This bug hits at the core of CL if we can't grow the new crops, one of the highlights of this new pack, and I refuse to invest in CL if I can't take advantage of everything it has to offer without resorting to adding more mods to make it playable. Something needs to change when it comes to how many bugs we see in new packs, and how long we have to wait before the teams find a solution.

The only time I'm still getting a revert to dirt plant is when I plant outside without any shelter. Mostly I use the hydroponic planters because of the auto watering. Those plants only revert when they are out of season. Any of my greenhouse plants mostly stay intact if they are in season. I do not know why this is happening either. But yes, they have to do something before the CL pack comes out, but I won't hold my breath.

Okay, so back to the LittleMsSam's mod to prevent reverting. (It works.) :)

@bshag4lv Oh what is the mod called? I have a lot of her mods, but I'm not sure which one that is.

Lol, if Little Ms Sam has a fix, maybe EA should ask her how to do it?
