[ECO] Instant Evolve doesn't work on plants in the vertical garden

Since the pre-Seasons patch in 2018 (version 1.44.77.1020 PC), the Evolve interaction for plants was made immediate, as said in the patch notes below:

  • Gardening Evolution has been streamlined to 5 levels with better UI, plus we made the interaction immediate.

June 19, 2018 Patch Notes | EA Forums - 1192949 

But for some reason, this doesn't work for harvestables planted in the vertical garden from Eco Lifestyle, which needs the Sim to reach the planter and do the old interaction for evolving the harvestable.

I hope the devs see it and make the evolving interaction consistent with the other places where we can plant the harvestables (ground, gardening pot, common planter and hydroponic planter).

  • I have it crinrict. My sim needs to go to the vertical garden and talk to the plants to be able to evolve them. PC player (I don't know how to insert tags in the replies, this forum is still too new for me)

    There's no tags in replies. Just stating is fine :D

    Were the not able to evolve at all before the bug fix and now it's just the instant that doesn't work ?

    From what I recall, we were never able to instant evolve plants in vertical planters, evolving works but it uses the old evolving interaction that existed before Seasons for other planters.

    Count me in: vertical planters do require a Sim to walk to it and perform an animation in order to evolve any plant. Since I started playing The Sims 4 on February 2020 and got Eco Living months later, I didn’t know it worked that way for all plants, so I thought it was a quirk of the vertical planters. 

    Evolving plants on the ground or horizontal planters is instantaneous, I can do it while a Sim is literally sleeping, but vertical planters queue the action and the plant only evolves after the whole animation is performed.
