More Awesome Than You!

Any idea what's causing this?

On one lot, and one lot only, crops don't work.
My sims plant crops, water them, and they appear to grow a bit (the earth bumps up), but no leaves appear.  When hovering over the plant I get a status rapport, but the only options I have is to water or compost.  I've tried wiping/nuking/deleting all the plots and re-planting, but the same thing happens.  The current crop has been pseudo-growing for a generation of sims without yielding any crops.

I have a vague theory antigardenlag.package might be involved somehow, but I don't have any proof.

Are those plants in a greenhouse and by a wall Gwill? If so, the same thing happened to me. I still got produce from them though and that wasn't invisible. The plants just look crap while growing.

Yes, it is in a greenhouse and against a wall, but so are all my other greenhouses.  I'm definitely not getting any produce, and the plants can't be talked to.
Orchard trees work fine.

Are you using Macro>Garden/Be Farmer?

Greenhouses against walls may potentially end up classified as "indoors", and the game will think the plant is not receiving any sun, so it does not grow. Place a sunlamp within 1 tile of it and see if that helps.

Oh, yeah I forgot to say I always place sunlamps in part wall, part glass greenhouses. :P Silly me. Sorry.

I know this post is old but I just installed the antigardenlag last night and I'm having the same problem.

Most of the garden was ready to be harvested before I installed the hack.  After installing and going to this lot I saw everything was gone.  I get a status report of "sickly".  I decided not to do anything at first to see if they would start growing again but they didn't.  I can compost, water and even tend when they get weeds but they never grow or produce any fruit/veggies.

I took the hack out and went back into the lot and it still looked like that.  I ended up composting all of it and starting over...it's growing fine now but I've not put the hack back in.
I don't have any other hacks that have anything to do with gardens/gardening and the HCDU doesn't show any conflicts with anything else that I do have.

Install sunlamps. The plants have decided they are indoors and will not grow without added light.

I just happened upon this thread. I also have had this problem. But, it's occurring on many lots. I have no idea what caused it, but I have to compost the plants and replant. None of my greenhouses has an attached wall from a house. They are all free-standing greenhouses.

I should have kept better track of when this occurred (I'm still discovering those little mounds of dirt in the homes I haven't played since installing BV).  On this computer, I had installed all the EP's except BV. After installing BV and TSS and reinstalling the directors cut (freetime edition..I like to make sure everything is up to date) sans a few mods that I don't use, I started noticing this phenomenon.  I do have antigardenlag, daily gardener...no indoorplant fix. I also have updated TJ's alwaysperfectplants and Morague's Harvestable Orchard Trees in Winter. All these updated mods were dumped into my hacks subfolder at the same time.

I cannot duplicate this. After I clear these mounds of dirt, it does not occur again on those lots. Plants are grown and harvested without a blip after replanting.  I blame it on a small gnome living in my computer case ..which is upsetting it's processing humours.  ;)

I have sunlamps in all my greenhouses.  Should I replace them?

No, just click on them to turn them on continously. I keep the sunlamps burning all day and night.

I always play with all lights on.  Bugs me with all the on and off when sims wake and whatnot. :P

Maybe the resets when you added new EPs just borked all the existing plants?

   I get the odd plant/garden plot that borks at Harvest time.  The plant is visible, all options are correct on the plant, yet the action drops out for the sim.  Macro/garden knows it's there, wants to harvest, and goes into an endless loop of dropping.  Move_Objects on, put the plant/plot in a location all to itself, with empty sections around it doesn't even help.  Only solution is to delete both plant/plot and put in a new plot.  What's most frustrating about it is that it doesn't happen alot, or on the same lot or same location in a greenhouse (so far, it's always been IN a greenhouse tho, but all of my greenhouses are completely separate buildings) and that particular plot could have been harvested/planted for several generations before borking.

You are probably right. One reset for EP and stuffit installation and one more reset for installing my hacks. I though it was quite odd. It's not a hideous problem;  just a strange anomoly. Gwill only had one lot that this happened to.  In my case, it was across the board in every neighborhood.  *shrug*
