Re: Can’t not take cutting from plants

@Bunsy849

Step 1. Rename The Sims4 folder to "The Sims4 old"
Step 2. Fix the game in Origin
Origin/ My games library - right-click on TS4 - option "Repair game"
You have to wait until Origin will fix all packs, not only the base game.
Step 3. Turn on the game - a new game folder will be created and you will have two - one old, one new
Step 4. Check if you still have this problem in the newly created game folder. Start a new game with random sims and play by 5 minutes.
If the problem disappeared
Step 5. Delete in the new game folder following folders:
"saves" and Tray.
Step 6. Go to "The Sims 4 old" folder and copy - your "saves " folder.
Step. 7. Paste this folder in a newly created game folder.
Step 8. Do the same with Tray folder and TrayDeleteItems file
If you don't have mods and CC skip next step
Step 9. Check if there are newly updated version mods you are using.
Then copy and paste your mods and CC from the old mods folder to the new one. First copy the scripts mods every time checking if the game is working properly. If you have a lot of CC try 50/50 method ( divide your CC into smaller batches for example 50 pieces in one subfolder and check these subfolders one by one)
Step. 10. Launch the game and check if this problem also disappeared in this old save. However, it may happen that although the new saves will not have this error anymore, the old save will remain damaged.
The last step - delete The Sims4 old folder.

Your saves and library will be not changed or damaged

  • Hi, @kreatora Thankyou for your response. 

    I have tried this now.

    if I leave the game as a fresh start without any saves. It works, I’ve added my save states and tray back It fixed on all my new saves after, however all my old saves I have just found out that I can take cuttings from wild plants just not the ones I’ve grown so maybe different issue to what I thought

    Probably one of your mods was outdated and caused it.
    So if you want to add them to the game, check each one if there is a new updated version of it.

    On this occasion when I redid the folder I didn’t put any mods in. 

    I decided to delete all plants in home lot to see if it works with fresh plants as it seem odd to be able to cut wild but not owned. I will update soon 

    edit - this is now working on the fresh plants 🌱 🤦🏻‍♀️ Will just have to restart the garden from scratch

    You don't have to start your garden from scratch. Throw away old plants and if you have any good quality fruit, plant them.
