Seeds won't plant?

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? Suomi
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.65.77.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? ecolife, university, seasons, pets, city living,get together, career job whatever expansion and parenting game pack.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? try to plant something.
What happens when the bug occurs? I click plant, sim proceeds to plant the seed, covers it with mud(?), stands up. mud disappears, seed pops back up and a notification pops up saying something like "plant x wasn't able to germinate. maybe it should be put somewhere more open before planting it." it doesn't matter where or what i try to plant, this happens every single time. very often the sim then proceeds to try and plant the same seed again and again and again and they just keep looping until i tell them to stop.
What do you expect to see? I expect to see the seed stay planted and start to grow.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

‌

so I've removed all mods and checked all of them individually and so on. I've updated the game at least 4 times and this still happens. I've had this bug for around 10 months now. I just want to plant stuff and have fun. please help

    Have you tried renaming your user folder yet ?

    If not, try resetting your user files as described in the factory reset described in this post: http://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/FAQ-Troubleshooting-Steps-amp-Known-Issues/m-p/3621199

    You won't loose anything. Just make sure to not delete any files  and make a backup.

    After renaming, repair your game by right clicking on the game in Origin.

    Try on a new game with nothing added back first (start new game). If it works, put back your save game and try again. If it still works, you can start putting stuff back.

    • Options.ini (or just re-set all your settings manually)
    • Tray Folder
    • Screenshots/Videos/Custom music
    • Rest of the save games (leave out slot_00000001.save which is the autosave and no longer needed - if you still have it)
    • Custom content like clothing, hair, skins, make up ....
    • Mods (one by one, making sure they all still work)

    The rest does not need putting back, cause they are mostly cache files that recreate or log files that are not needed for the game.
