I have sent my Sim to the park and two other locations where wild plants are growing on numerous occasions but there is never anything to harvest. The message when I hover over the plants tells me to come back later, which I have, but nada?! Is anyone else having this problem? My Sim is a level 6 gardener but she cannot find anything to harvest in the wild?

Also try searching the public space around your lot. There might be some harvestable wild flowers along the jogging paths.

This is not true, they don't eventually grow unless you're on the spot.You have to be on the location and spend the time there doing nothing. It's probably a bug or deliberate feature when they add fairy house so you can at least sleep.At least that's how both secret areas work in my game. Nothing moved for couple of weeks in them till I started to just stand there.It's so "fun" I can't even explain it.

I had to send my sim over there everyday she had off of work just to hang out until they bloomed.

The plants and gardening along with cooking with fresh produce they grow has kept me from not abandoning the game all together. I really love the whole gardening aspect TS4 has. Grafting plants with others and trying new combos has keep the game interesting for me. Unfortunately though I wanted to buy & play 'The Sims 4' -not- 'Grow a Garden with The Sims in the 4th Game of the Series'

I have a problem with the Lemon tree in Oasis. I took a cutting from the tree as i was fed up waiting for it to bloom. Soon as i did the tree died, and the only option i have now is to throw it away. Does it eventually grow back or something grows in its place? Im level 10 gardener.

Hello @Twinkle_Star. If you throw away the tree, another one will eventually grow back there.

@mommaleeblee6977 This thread is three years old. Necroposting is against the forum rules. You might have to look for a more recent relevant thread, as there have been updates and the seasons expansion since then that influence the wild plants.

Edit: I just saw that "popping into revived threads to educate others on the Necroposting rule" is also a "don't", my bad!

New members have to wait until they reach a certain level before they can post new topics -- sometimes "necroposting" might be the only way to get a question answered. Also, things have changed a bit with the gardening overhaul plus Seasons (for those who have the EP) so new information can be helpful.

I went to oasis spring park, viewed all the plants there then waited a few days, when I went back the Lemon Tree was ready to take a cutting from. Some of the others, like the BlackBerry Bush were not ready yet. I have a vanilla game with the most recent update.

Please don't revive 4 years old threads.

As has been pointed out, please do not hop in and comment on necroposting. Leave that to us moderators. As most of the posts since this thread's resurrection have been focused on the issue of necroposting rather than continuing the conversation, however, it is being closed.

Take some time and read over the Necroposting thread from EA_Lanna.
