@anicholl22 Are the plants you're trying to plant in season (not really sure if that makes a difference) ?

Does it happen to all plants ?

Thanks for responding! It seems to happen with all plants, even general seeds packets (e.g. starter veg) which I assume would change dependent on season?

Let me know if I need to start a new thread. But I am having the same issue. I have a Mac and I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and I have also tried to repair the game on Origin with no success. . I don't have mods in the game . Not sure what to do from this point. It is possible that I uninstalled and reinstalled incorrectly; I did it through origin. Let me know if there is something else I can do or what I might be missing . thank you!!

@oldschooldaigle Please run the Origin reset tool for macOS:

https://help.ea.com/en-us/help/origin/origin/how-to-reset-origin-on-mac/

Restart your computer, repair the game again, and move your entire Sims 4 user data folder out of Documents\Electronic Arts and onto your desktop. When you launch the game, a clean folder will spawn with no content. Don't add anything to this folder yet; just start a new save and let me know whether a new sim can garden.

@puzzlezaddict Dang, so doing that deleted my whole game.
Luckily I only had created two sims otherwise that would have been devastating lol.
going to create some sims now and I'll let you know if they are able to plant!

Oh no! I open seed packets in inventory and then plant the veg. Does that work for you?
