Plant Sim: No option to absorb solar energy

I’ve tried both in and out of planters. 

Yes you are right, I disabled EP19 and now I don't get the option to absorb anymore. They should fix this but probably won't like the myriad of other bugs that have been in the game for up to 10 years.

Pretty sure that's because you have Enchanted by Nature, it was said earlier that buying it will handle the issue. I just loaded in for the third day without any option to absorb solar energy. Tested every way I could, in and out of planters, wild plants, becoming a plant sim again after losing it. There is no option. Honestly the scenario is usually glitchy with absorbing sunlight not being counted unless I go to Sulani and swim around in the sun to trigger it, then I can go back and it counts for the scenario. And the whole absorbung energy from plants has historically been problematic with any changes causing the option to be lost and requiring restarting the game just to get the option. I'm about to try with a fresh Sim in the household to try it with. It failed.

I just loaded up my save for the plantsim scenario and am getting the option to absorb. I have the enchanted by nature pack, so I don't think the issue is with that. I did complete the scenario.

Are all your plants in planters? You could try moving a few into the ground and try.  Planters have been a bit buggy lately. 

I have tried both... it's never been an option. I've also tried wild plants and the ones I've grown. I've tried in and out of the planters... no luck.

It seems like every time I try to do this scenario it's broken. I have tried going back to the main menu, I have tried closing the game. Once again it is broken and it's still broken today 10 days after this post was made. I can't understand how they have so many issues with this specific requirement over and over again. It's a lovely scenario and it would be great if it wouldn't glitch out on absorbing sunlight every time something with the game is changed. Frustrating. Anyway, save file sent

Are you clicking on the sim for the interaction  or the plant? you need to click the plant.

My PlantSim has reached the top of the gardening skill and has about every type of plant (plus lots of spliced ones) but I can NOT get the "absorb solar energy" to appear no matter the time of day or level of energy she has left. 
Its all I need to finish the scenario and it just won't appear! 

I do not have any mods or expansions. 

Hello all,

If any of you are still encountering this on the latest game version (without mods), would you be willing to share your save file(s)?

If so, please send me a private message with a link to the file. Instructions can be found here: http://x.ea.com/74420
