Plants are still reverting. :(

I really hope everyone experiencing some version of this (without mods) is posting to AHQ with details of what they do and don't have happening and offering to provicde saves! This sounds like a mess to track down.

I haven't had any plants reverting after the patch, even on lots that used to have a problem with it. There must be something that triggers it and I'd like to know what it is.
At least it doesn't seem to happen as often as it used to, but I'm afraid for my dragon fruit gardens every time I play. Luckily the families who have dragon fruits are rich and they can deal with reverting plants for some time, but it still makes me nervous.

@Kimmer Diversifying the garden is a good idea too- if it's an unlucky day and the dragon fruits reverted, the orchids and growfruit probably haven't reverted at the same time, etc. I recently played a 5-generation legacy mostly funded by a large garden and it was fine despite the occasional reverting plants.

It's a great idea. I've actually had more diverse gardens on my dragon fruit gardeners when they started gardening, but I've deleted the other plants just to create more space for dragon fruits. I should've saved the other plants, but I didn't think I would need them anymore. I guess I have to start growing orchids again if I can find space for them. :)

Today it happened. I had played the same save for almost two game weeks and it's winter. It's Friday and suddenly I noticed that every plant in the greenhouse was reverted to dirt piles. They worked fine until now, I hadn't done anything that would've been different. I hadn't even had to water the plants, not even once.
This is what it looked like. In the single planters at the back there were money trees and in other planters dragon fruits and roses.

I wonder what could've triggered it, but I don't have any idea. I hadn't traveled anywhere from the lot recently and the only thing I had done to the plants was to harvest them every day and fertilized them, but I had fertilized them earlier too and they never reverted.
Could it possibly be the fact that I didn't clear the cache the last time I played. I always clear the cache after every time I play, because it seems to help with the bugs and lagging. Yesterday I forgot to do it and today the reverting happened. :/

For me it happened when the season changed from winter to spring and my sim was ar the bar for NYE during the night. The birds of paradise, that were sheltered, reverted as they were coming into season. The dragon fruits, also indoors, did not, as they remained out of season.
The thing is, this is different from the plant reverting bug I had in another save, where approximately every other day, all plants would revert to dirt piles at 7AM. That one has a simple workaround by saving just before 7 every day and exiting without saving when the plants reverted. They always stayed grown after reloading.
So, these two instances aside, who knows how many plant reverted bugs there are? And which one they supposedly fixed?
However, plants, not trees, reverting when outdoors and going out of season is a feature - has been around since the gardening update/seasons, so well before the plant reverting bugs that were introduced around the time of eco lifestyle.

I don't bother to report bugs anymore. I had and may still have the litterbox bug. They said it was fixed and closed the bug report. It kept happening afterwards so I stopped playing with pets.

I've reported the plant bug a million times. I reported a bug with half walls on 2 sides of a room making all walls become invisible. I've uploaded lots with issues. I have never used mods in any game I play, don't have cc.

The only thing I have in my computer is a vpn, which I have to turn off to get origin to open, but I turn it back on after it opens. If EA wants to pay the hackers their ransom ware demands when they find me, then I'll leave it off, otherwise I'm turning it back on. My ex got hacked and he had my info on his computer and I kept getting ransom ware demands until I got a vpn.

in my last 2 games my sims had a full grown cow plant until the season changed to autumn and the cow plant became a sprout my sims could still feed, play and cuddle it.
i deleted the cow plant after a simweek or 2.

Poor garden, @Kimmer , sorry that happened :(
That's an interesting note about clearing the cache. If that was the culprit maybe it will be helpful to others.
Did you try clearing the cache and restarting the game?
I probably mentioned this above, but you can also try putting the plant into household inventory and then back into the planter, and repairing the game; both of those fix dirt piles often for me.

Yes, I cleared the cache and restarted the game and it didn't help. I also put the plants into the household inventory and back into the planters and repaired the game but it didn't help either. :/
Luckily the family already has plenty of money to use, so they will manage for a while without their plants giving them harvest every day. I hope the plants won't revert many times in a row. If they do, then I have a problem, because the only one who is working from the family is the father who is an entertainer and although he's on level 10 in his career, it's not enough. They just moved into a big house and the rent is expensive. The garden is very much needed.
