So I saved my sims, saved their house, started a new game and put them in it ( you lose your entire inventory and I had some good stuff in there) that little park garden plot area starts out empty. Some neighbor sims are planting stuff over there and not tending them, stuff starts to rot, the harvestables just float above the plant, I can't harvest them ( I guess because they aren't mine? IDK I can harvest other stuff that isn't mine specifically) and then the spam begins when people start trying to plant stuff in the spots where a plant rotted and was removed. If anyone that reads this has time to play in cottage living, choose that lot that is empty and just build a basic house or dl one from the gallery, Behind that lot is the little park area, there are a couple of toys over there and a monkey bars, then adjacent to that is the little garden area. See if it happens to you.
