Thanks for the suggestions! It does happen with multiple sims. I believe it was a seed packet that I opened and planted on the last lot (also Windenburg). I do have University and have not used any mods or CC since creating this save or installing the game on this system (previously used some on Origin on a different computer, but deleted all saves when I re-purchased on Steam and did a clean install).
I will try the reset/debug and the inventory fixes and get back to you!
Quick update, the next time I loaded the game this issue was resolved. However, one or two in-game days later the same thing is happening with my carrot plants! xD I had just rearranged the garden in build mode, so perhaps this is linked to that specifically? If the issue occurs again I will try the debug option.
@AngeleKay Hmmm.... yes, it is odd that it showed up again. Please do give the troubleshooting mentioned a go if it re-occurs. You can also just try leaving the lot (and/or game) and returning to see if that helps. Maybe you have the buggy behavior snagged up in your cache? You could try deleting this cache file: localthumbcache.package in your “The Sims 4” folder [Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4]... but further removal of cache can be tried if the issue is not resolved by other means.
