Re: My Garden is Broken

@RinnyChii

I know that if you get the plants from build/buy using debug that some of them never bear fruit, but I've never heard of plats only bearing fruit a few times. I've never seen this in my game.

Just to be clear, you harvested dragonfruit from a plant, planted it yourself and it never bears fruit?

Maybe try resetting your user files if you have some cache disrupting the game?

  • Make a backup; copy your The Sims 4-folder from C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to an external drive or somewhere else on your computer, for example your desktop.
  • Rename the The Sims 4-folder in C:\Users\Username\Documents\Electronic Arts to The Sims 4_backup
  • Repair the game. Right-click the game in your Origin library and choose repair.
  • Start the game, make a new save, and see if the error is gone. 
    (The game will have created a new The Sims 4-folder in your documents, this is supposed to happen)
    • If yes, continue
    • If no, post a reply telling us the error is still there
  • Start putting folders back in the new The Sims 4-folder. Observe! After every file/folder, start the game and make sure it still works, before putting in the next one.
    • Options.ini - your game settings
    • Saves - your old saves. The sub-folders are not needed. If putting these back causes problem, try putting one back at a time.
    • Screenshots
    • Custom music - if you have any
    • Tray - your library objects; like lots, rooms and sims
    • Mods - your mods and cc, might cause problems when putting back

  • Thank you for the info!

    I actually played some more today before checking the post and half of them bear fruit first, and then the other half bear fruit. It's a bit odd, but hey, at least it's working a little! 🙂
