Snapdragon failed to germinate: cottage living

I keep getting this over and over. I removed all my snapdragons. There is a planter box over in a garden area next to the monkey bars in a park like setting with a snapdragon flower in it. You can try to plant it but it won't plant. The error is a snapdragon failed to germinate. I tried to remove the flower but don't have that option. passers-by always try to plant it too, and that is why I am getting this message over and over. Has anyone else experienced this, and if so, what did you do to fix it? Is this a feature of the pack or a bug?

  • 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.
  • @clea224, I've had my household living in the Old New Henford neighborhood for about 70 Sim days now and haven't had any issues with the community garden.

    One of my Sims is a gardener and I've been evolving plants that are growing there, though not bothering to go harvest. Neighborhood sims do it alot though. I'm not sure if any plants there have died yet though, I don't think any have.
  • I have this same issue, it's from the "community" garden plots. Is there a cheat to use to get rid of them so there isn't notifications popping up every time the local Sims try to plant over other crops, maybe?
  • Hi @FloRider and welcome!
    There is a bug report for this issue here

    In the comments are several recommendations for mod fixes, while we wait for the team to fix it for real.
