[HR] [ECO] Ranch Hand: Gardening toggle doesn't stay off/Still gardening (NAP)

I'm on PS4.

One problem I've had with ranch hands is that I toggle gardening off. Even though it's off they still either continue gardening or it's toggled back on the next day.

I wound up building a locked fence around the garden and having a lock in the greenhouse. I've had it set to "Lock for everyone but household." The ranch hand still comes in. I've also had it set to "Lock for everyone but" and wound up selecting my household Sims one by one. The ranch hand still gets in.

  • Antta Thanks for re-reporting in bugs.

    Something that crossed my mind when reading this again: Do you have the ECO pack and do you maybe have the garden NAP active (always forget which one it is)

    Woops, Sorry for the late reply. No prob.

    I do have Eco Lifestyle. 

    Recently been loosely looking at the NAP and though I'm not sure if Eco Friendly was on at the time I took the screenshots/when it first started I'm 8/10 sure green gardening was off. 

    This is what I have currently and the ranch hand went through the locked door again and began gardening. 

     

  • I have the exact same problem and have had it for absolutely ages, the only way I found to stop the ranch hand gardening was the same as the OP and build a fence with lockable gate.

    I play on a laptop with no mods or cc my game is completely up to date with patches etc and I have all of the expansions, stuff packs and kits.

    I have self sufficiency active as well so I'll remove it and try without it, thanks 🙂

    WendyFallenAngel Do you also have the issue with the toggle ? I wonder if that's related. Like it turns itself off if something else overwrites the tasks you set.

    Yes, I have the exact same problems with the ranch hand as the OP if I turn off do gardening they garden anyway or it turns itself back on.

    Sorry for the lateness. We've had power outages here.  My game has been updated with the latest patch. 

    Anyway apparently did the repeal wrong and am currently waiting to vote/repeal for next time. 

    I am having another problem with the ranch hand. Previously I was able to toggle gardening on and off, now  it stays on. 

    Also ranch hands are still going through locked doors.

    Would be good to know if that persists if the NAP is repealed. Marking this as reviewed cause while the still gardening isn't necessarily a bug if you have the NAP active, it shouldn't reset the setting.

    As for the locked door issue, could be something different. Is it just the Ranch hand that ignores them ?
