Tooltip and growth chart keeps disappearing from plants

When I hover over garden plants I have planted the name of the plant or the evolution bar does not show up. I noticed this today after the new patch 1.114.46.1030 DX11 I have also tried sheltered and unsheltered plants it doesn’t show anything above the plant. I do have mods but very little like ui faster skills and custom default skin by pralinesims I have updated all mods and started a new game I have all packs and all kits everything I have tried has not fixed it

Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit old report.

  • same problem. Happens at home lots as well as community gardens and the Scientist Lab lot for me. New save started after the update or one from before does not matter. 

    I even get random tooltip info on random items instead sometimes. Like the strawberry plant tooltip was on the scientist invention satellite dish, and my sims bed tooptip (assigned bed) was on a planter in the scientist lab lot.

    Hi. I've been taking notes on when it happens in my game, and the result is: labels disappear when meeting a new crow (weird, right?).

    Done this with 5 different Sims/contexts in a row and i'm sure: NWDD HQ, family day, Specter crypt and bog default-placed crows, plus home lot in NewCrest (which was the only regular crow). Hover/click and dismiss changes nothing; selecting Coo/Watch/etc. instantly makes the labels go.

    Hope to see a fix soon.

    crinrict​  Hey o/. Might i get an opinion on my previous post?

    In the week since, i haven't had the labels disappear a single time outside the one tarot card requiring crow involvement, and i do check, ALL the time, always worried they might have disappeared.

    If there's something else that triggers the bug, it isn't part of my usual gameplay so i'd need some hints what to try next. Thanks.

    But does it happen in your game when meeting a new crow, like i said in previous post? Even if we only track one cause, it's progress.

    I haven't tested. This issue is on EA's plate and I do not have the time to test every issue.

    Fair enough, i know there's a lot to do. I just don't want the reproducible steps i found to get buried under future "me too"-s.

    ETA: tracie2233​ JackOnYourBack​ SanniSilli​ danilo29oliveira​ Hey all, sorry for the bother. I'm new here and went about it the wrong way, underestimated the amount of information and notifications, but this seems important. Could you check if the same thing happens in your games as in mine: when you interact with a new crow, that's when tooltips disappear? Does it ever happen without crows? Gardening is the centre of my gameplay and i'd really like this sorted.

    I wasn't interacting with crows with my Sim when this happened to me. But I was living in Ravenwood. Maybe there is more than one trigger to this bug.

    It's good that you have found out it can have something to do with crows and that you shared the info here. This bug is already verified to be a bug by Maxis QA and next we just have to waite when it will move forward in the process.
