Plants cannot be fertilized

My plants are no longer producing fruit. When I attempt to fertilize, my sim does the animation of fertilizing crops, but then the item that was used to fertilize remains untouched in the inventory, and the plant is unchanged.

My farming family needs help!

I reported a bunch of other issues yesterday, but can't find the thread.

  • I just disabled  mods and attempted to fertilize the plants. My sim's inventory was empty (I had fish in it before), and it wasn't allowing me to fertilize.

    Did you put anything else in there ? You do need something to fertilize with.

    An outdated version of MCCC can cause issues with inventory disappearing.

  • I tried updating MCCC. Still having inventory issues. I was able to fertilize a couple plants, but they haven't produced anything.

    I didn't save my game because I had a pregnant sim 'give birth' at the hospital, then come home without a baby! It said she'd had a baby, but there was no sex announcement/naming and no baby.

    Hi 

    Re: the plants - this is an open thread on the forum.  I also have this issue with the plants not producing fruits or veg.  Please see the link below - which is the thread about plants not harvesting:

  • The game will no longer let me fertilize plants with other plant material. Only Fish.
