After an evening, by 5:30 am, Thursday morning, the Sim was able to harvest their own plants in the backyard and in the wild. Went back to the earlier Sim with the harvesting deficient, and had the Sim invite a friend to move in. That new Sim had different personity traits Collector, Good, Art Lover and Self Assured. So it was obvious it had nothing to do with career. Saving you the details, after creating a different Sim (new game) that came in as a level 3 Gardener, and moved into the same house, by Monday, that Sim was able to harvest backyard and wild plants. I did not know IF this was because my Sim had come in as a level three gardener, or if it had something to do with the Sim's Personality. Again, my Sim could harvest in the community garden, and did. My Sim could water, weed, spray for bugs, fertilize, talk to plants, and hire a professional, but nothing to harvest either in the backyard or in the wild around the neighborhood. Wednesday (Day 4), no garden plants could be harvested still.
Perhaps the next day (Wednesday) my Sim could harvest their own garden. So I assumed we were finally getting somewhere. Yay! My Sim could harvest anything in the garden boxes that were mature the lemons, carrots, sage and daisies. Headed down to the community garden again. Again, all the wild plants in the neighborhood could only be viewed, but not harvested. Got up at 5:30 to try to harvest the garden in the backyard, but absolutely nothing could be harvested. By that time, my Sim should have been able to harvest wild strawberries, sage and daisies, along with the plants in the community garden for spring, from the lemon tree, and carrots. Tuesday (Day 3), I figured my Sim should be able to harvest something. Easy enough, and handled a few other activities to whittle away the day for my Sim. Thankfully, the only work objective was to purchase seeds and level up to skill level 4 in Gardening. Spent the day doing other things on that Monday. I had my Sim wander around the neighborhood looking for anything to harvest and eventually down to the community garden, past Zest's home, and still nothing. Typically, Wild Sage and Daisies can be harvested after an evening in that neighborhood (by 5:30 am). The plants had started to mature, but nothing, absolutely NOTHING could be harvested. Sage should produce all year, and carrots should produce in the spring and fall.Īll seemed fine until the next day. My Sim planted mushrooms and carrots in the garden box, with sage in the backyard, along with some grapes and a banana tree that would not be available until later in the year.
SIMS 4 CITY LIVING SOCIAL MEDIA CAREER FREE
With my Sim's free starter seeds and the planter box (career rewards), proceeded to start planting.
I selected a small starter home in Oasis Springs. I have Seasons and chose Spring. The primary personality trait was Alluring, along with Bookworm, Noncommital and Perfectionist. My Sim came in as a Gardener, level 3, Seed Scatterer, with a level 3 garden skill. This usually puts your new Sim into a career two or three levels above the starting level. I had used the Create-a-Sims personality that allows you to answer some questions and the AI in Sims will create a Sims that matches the profile. My question was, "Sims 4 - How do I Harvest Plants when they won't Produce?" Not really able to find a solution, it appears to be one of those glitches that occasionally pops up.
