Nope. I have them turned off.

Wait! It was Grim Reaper?

The only thing I can think of is maybe that pesky "Sharing is Caring" NAP is active. You can check them by clicking on your mailbox.

I edited it for a little bit of clarity. He harvested the flowers on my sim's porch. And no, they didn't end up in my household inventory either.

I suspected a ghost did something similar a few days ago, but I didn't actually see it. This time I caught the NPC sim in the act (but not in time to get a screen shot.)

How long as this been going on? Is it a bug or a feature?

He did that in my game too! He showed up to reap the family cow and then detoured to the garden to steal ALL of the harvestables. ALL of them!! That garden has one of every single harvestable in the game (grafted so that it's fewer plants) and he tried to harvest them all.

I have since built a fence around both garden areas and set the gates to household-only. Because other visitors were doing it too, not just Grimmy.

I suspect the NAP that encourages people to love gardening is at play with just how much everyone wanted to go steal my harvestables. Do you have that NAP active too, @DaWaterRat?

Everyone keeps asking this. Lol

Was it a death flower? Or was it all plants?

Catnip, roses, chrysanthemums, and Dahlias.

No death Flowers.

He was just considerate and wanted to take some catnip on the go for your sim's cat's journey to the afterlife!

I was suspicious of visitors, because they'd get a flower thought bubble and do the harvesting motion, but it was usually after I'd harvested for the day so I didn't worry about it.

Fortunately, the Plasma fruit trees, Forgotten Hollow plants, and really valuable flowers are down in the basement hot house which is locked for household only (and only accessible by ladder)

It's kinda insane we have to put all of our harvestables under lock and key. :lol:
I don't remember this being a huge problem in the past, but it really is a big problem in my game now. Literally all of my households have their growables behind locked doors or gates now.

Considering the original meaning of "to reap" in terms of harvesting, that's so oddly appropriate. But I'm sorry it happened to you.

Catnip, roses, chrysanthemums and dahlias though!?

Of course I'm reading into things but wouldn't it be amazing if this were done to a purpose? Catnip is obvious, roses for love (and sorrow if dark red), chrysanthemums to honor a long life, and dahlias for grace under pressure.

What a touching tribute to your kitty that would be as an arrangement, even if I am just imagining it to be the case.

I haven't noticed people harvesting my stuff. Sometimes visitors will water my plants, or weed them, but nobody's tried to actually harvest them. That's bizarre!!

Maybe he just likes reaping? With a shortage of souls and long grass, he goes for the next best thing...
