They Are stealing my Plants!

Bad enough that Sims will come over and eat your food (though you get yelled at for doing the same)

But I just caught Grim - Grim! of all people - stealing my flowers after he reaped my cat.

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

Edit for clarity - I mean he harvested my plants, and they didn't end up in my household inventory.

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


    Now we definitely have to get corn or wheat plantables in the game, so Grim has something productive to do in his off-duty time. :)


    Pretty close to that already in "Cottage Living". :D
    Maybe Grim can grow and reap some giant mushrooms though?
  • I like the idea that Grim was sending flowers to cat afterlife. Sounds like a bug though. I have not had the problem with Grim in my game and he took three of my chickens and I have a good size garden next to the coop.

    It's not a bug, it's just one of the funny things that happens in this game. ;)

    I mean Grim started cleaning one of my Sim's houses. Took out the trash, washed the dirty dishes.

    If Grim was cooler, as in old-school, haha!

    I once got the “Hello Darkness My Old Chum” achievement, which you get by befriending the Grim Reaper. I don’t remember which Sim befriended him, but I’m pretty sure whoever it was had a positive reputation and the Incredibly Friendly reward trait so that befriending others happens incredibly fast.

    I got a good screenshot in Sims 3 once, of the Grim Reaper in my Sims’ swimming pool. He showed up quite a bit because zombies would spawn on a full moon and they’d often be Elders, and would subsequently die on my family’s lot. The best occasion, though, was when a member of the paparazzi died on my Sim’s doorstep, only for her (my Sim, not the dead paparazzi of course) to go into labour! It was quite funny having the Grim Reaper freaking out over it. This again was Sims 3.
  • Ive had people do this too but for some reason when I go into the household inventory all the harvestables are there. Like they had nothing better to do but pick my flowers and then hand them back...eh!
  • I've never seen him harvest plants, but I had to disable animal aging because he got stuck on my lot a few times trying to reap a chicken. I play with aging off so I never see him in the game. Can you summon him? It was nice how you could call him up on the telephone in Sims 2. We ought to be able to send him a text in Sims 4 and ask him to give us back a loved one.

    That’s unrelated to other sims picking them. It’s a bug where reloading the lot puts harvestables in the household inventory (after traveling or launching the game).

    It can happen if you save your game while there are harvestables on the plants and relaunch the game. I think it can also happen going in and out of CAS.

    Yeah, I've had sims harvest my plants.
    I don't believe this is supposed to happen. One of those things that go out of whack that I hope they fix.

    Routing seems to have gone out of whack too with sims walking through walls and railings.
