Snapdragon failed to germinate: cottage living

Anybody?

I would love to know. It happens to me too, even when there are no plants present!

I found a reddit discussion that mentions it but no explanation or solution. I'm glad I am not the only one experiencing it though!

Hello there.

I haven't experienced this personally, but if you are okay with mods you could use one to delete the Snapdragon.

I think sometimes it depends on where you plant your flowers. I have had that happen and moved my flowers then they bloom. Try that and see what happens.

its on a common area lot, a park area, and I cannot move it, remove it completely, delete it, etc. The town people that walk along that path always try to plant it over and over, that causes the germination failed messages. There is a bug report on it and they asked for game saves but I don't really know how to send them my saves.

I have had certain fruits/vegetable fail to germinate. The message also states to try planting in a larger area. Now, this doesn't pertain to HoB, per se, but I end up moving the seed to the front/back lawn unconfined by the planter box. Have you tried this yet? If not try it to see if it takes root.

It isn't on my lot. I can't do anything with it. It is in a park area near my lot.

If you use the MCCC mod, you can destroy it to get rid of it being a problem.
To do that you just have to enable two things in MCCC: "Debug Commands in Cheats" and then enable testing cheats. (You can do that in MCCC or with the console, doesn't matter which). Once those two settings are both on, you can shift-click the object and destroying it is one of the options.

Thanks for that info stormkeep, that might be the only thing I am able to do . I don't use mods, at least I never have so I don't really know how to do that, it would require some research on my part. Today I went over to that lot and removed all the surrounding plants with the "uproot plant" interaction, but that didn't work either, it left all the harvestables floating in the air with the surrounding plants missing and then every sim that walks past still tries to plant that snapdragon. Maybe if I eliminate all the sim neighbors that walk around that path all day long trying to plant the snapdragon haha ... The way it begins is that there is a rotting plant there initially, and if you have a sim with the "neat" trait, they are going to remove it, that leaves an empty spot and then someone tries to plant something in that spot.
