Plants are still reverting. :(

Make sure if you are having issues still you report it. The old bug thread is closed so they will assume it’s fixed if nothing is said. I haven’t tested yet.

I have never had this happen in my game (revert to dirt pile), and I play gardening on every lot. I wonder why?

I started playing a game again and am getting more and more frustrated so not enjoying it like I normally do. My sims are popping out of bed in the middle of the night, not fully rested, and landing next to the bed. They also popped out of their chairs while eating before finishing meals and the toddler popped out of the high chair. Actions set in the queue disappear frequently. Seems worse today than the other day. And they still constantly get water to drink. I don't use any mods or cc. I am going to try to repair it, again, and clear cache, again and hope it works. I honestly cannot play this game when it is behaving this badly. :(

Can you imagine the fallout that will happen if EA releases a pack based on farming, before fixing this gardening bug first? I fully expected the update before CL's release to break whatever fix that was released yesterday. But now we find out that fix actually doesn't fix anything. So we're right back where we started 13 months ago. And how many updates since then have included some kind of solution that simply doesn't work? I'm so tired of being disappointed. The teams have come up with some pretty nifty new things for the game but they are sure having a lot of problems making some of those fun to play while we look for solutions for whatever new bugs we encounter.

I'm not having any major gardening issues -- a few have reverted to dirt piles but not till they're out of season, and the ones that were dirt piles but are now back in season (like my carrots and mushrooms) are fully developed and ready to harvest. I was having issues with putting trees in inventory (I wanted to move my Sims to a new lot) but turned out that was just a mod issue.

And this is why it's so hard to get bugs fixed -- not everyone experiences them exactly the same, so it's difficult for the Extermination Squad to duplicate them and figure out what's going wrong. Make sure you post your issues at Answers HQ, and if you can send a copy of your save file (I think there are instructions over there how to do it) that will help find the problems that much faster.

I recall that previous bug fixes would have effect only if you replaced the object in question. There was something wrong with the fridge inventory, and after it was fixed we had to replace the fridge to have it fixed in our game.

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?

Does this happen in existing saves? Because often fixes only work on new saves and not retroactively on saves that already have that particular bug. They usually mention it in the patch notes though.

I hate when they do things this way. It's garbage for those of us who play one main save.

Exactly. Why even bother playing until the game is done and they stop patching. That is ridiculous. I already had to start a new game after the last patch and I just can't see myself having to delete and replace all the lots again, save all my families and start again making sure they have their exact money and whatnot. How awful the patches can be.

For the longest time, I also never experienced this bug. Then recently, it started happening and I have no idea why. Several months ago, I had started a save with a Sim who gardens and it was fine until recently (the last month or so) her farm just started glitching out.

So far, not talking about this patch, but yes fully patched, this has happened to me only when Eco enviroment changes, never otherwise.
