Re: Community Garden Old-New Henford Glitching?

My sims will be able to attempt to plant the items in the planter, but cannot due to the mushrooms. I have the menu option to eat the mushrooms, but routing issues fail to make it happen.

A work around that helped at first was to eat the produce. But sims can't eat flowers so I was left with an eternal crocus that failed to germinate. The lemon tree that was originally planted is going well but the original mushrooms in the one pot were dug up.

As for location, this is a planter by the creature keeper.

    I did manage to eat the black bean, and the mushroom, but now it’s a crocus as well for me. I can’t move the crocus either. 🤦🏻‍♀️

    The Creature keeper will take care of these planters. The townies take care of planters in community gardens. If you want some that you can grow and harvest use planters in your own garden.

    Yes, I'm saying that because the creature keeper and townies plant in the planters, when the planter is full of bugged mushrooms, they fail to plant.

    It is not possible to plant where there already are a plant. The plant may die off eventually in which case he will eventually plant something else.

    Here's a picture to help explain the problem. I cannot move the mushrooms nor the crocus. The CK keeps trying to plant the crocus, getting a failure to germinate message. 

  • I have the same problem. Some NPCs dug out several plants in the planters in the community garden. And the fruits and veggies and mushrooms are still hanging around the spot, even though the plants themself are gone. And of course there are always new plants to plant there, but the "failure to germinate" message pops up. It was easy to ignore, when it was just one spot, but by now there are 6 glitched spots spread over the two big planters and the NPCs keep switching from one spot to the next over and over again and are spamming my notifications. And when there are two NPCs doing this, it is unbareable.
