Freelance botanist aspiration - evolve plants not recognised

Hi, the evolve plant option is available, however each time I evolve a plant, it isnt being recognised in my Sim's goals to evolve 5 different plants (she is a freelance botanist). I have since evolved 10+ plants (involving at least 5 different plants), but I am not able to complete this goal because none of the evolves are being counted. Is there a fix for this bug?

  • Hi Crin, no I don't have Mods or CC - I'm actually quite new to Sims so haven't tried any CC/mods

  • Hey Crin, just by way of update, for some bizarre reason, I've since managed to evolve 4 plants, so it seems to have worked after I asked the question on the forum!! I waited for 48h  before posting anything and restarting the game multiple times, so I suppose the magic was in asking the question! It seems to be working so far, so I'm happy about that. Thank you so much for trying to help out!

    @mmelfunction Yeah, sometimes it works like that.

    I had some bad lagging issues with one of my mobile games the other days and after asking around they suddenly magically disappeared.

    Glad it's working for you now :D
  • I'm having this problem now and it's bugging me. No mods. Just careers and animals packs added. But I've evolved a huge amount of plants to magnificent and they just aren't getting credit. I'll try some out of the planters and see what happens I guess.

    @spica929 If you have any content in your Mods folder, regardless of how you think about it, please test without. Exit Sims 4 then drag your Mods folder to your desktop. Then delete the file called localthumbcache from Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4. If you think you might accidentally forget to exit without saving after testing, copy your Saves folder to your desktop too, to back it up. Now open Sims 4 and see if you still have the problem. If you don't, you can start the process of figuring out what from your Mods folder was causing it.
