Re: When planting produce I keep getting “Failed to germinate” notice

@Jessymouse45 

This generally happens with trees because there are not enough space above them or a Cow plant because there are not enough space in front of it.

  • @jpkarlsen, it’s happening when using the round planters from the base game which I place in the open, usually in a fenced off area either behind my Sims house or in front of my Sims house. I haven’t tried the plants that keep telling me “failed to germinate” in the standing planters from eco lifestyle just yet.

    I was hoping that if I turned my game off and restarted it that the items would plant, but half of them still give me the same notice, while the other half are now growing in the pots now. I am thinking that I might need to buy some of the standing planters and try the half that are failing to grow in the pots.

    Please note that not all plants can be planted in Vertical Gardens.

    If you have any Mods especially mods that have to do with gardening remove them delete localthumbcache.package and test without.

  • @jpkarlsen, I removed the localthumbcache.package file and can now plant all my plants, thank you so much for your help.
  • How does one do this? I'm having the same problem with many of my plants and have never had this issue before.

    @SpicyMcHaggis206 Have you got the eco lifestyles game and gardening mods? If so, remove your localthumbcache.package and try again. That’s what helped with my game...
