In the Sims 4 you can put your virtual green fingers to the test and plant different plants. The plants can not only be planted and changed, but also “bred” and refined to improve the quality. Anyone who has done a bit of gardening in Sims 4 may have had the problem of plants suddenly disappearing. In this situation, the question often arises, why do the plants in Sims 4 disappear on their own and what could be the cause of the problem? Is there a bug with the plants and what can be done if the problem occurs more frequently?
Plants disappear on their own in Sims 4
The problem with the disappearing plants in Sims 4 worries some players and the bug has existed for years. Even if it is rare, it happens again and again and you look at the beds and suddenly individual plants are missing. If you then click on the spot where the plant was before, no interaction is displayed anymore. As already mentioned, the “plant bug” has existed for some time and fills numerous threads not only in the official forum, but also on platforms such as Reddit. The problem should therefore be well known to the developers, but so far not much has changed on the subject.
There is still no real solution to the plant problem. When the plants disappear, the only option is usually to plant the plant again. In most cases, the problem is then fixed for a while until after a while a plant disappears on its own.
Plants disappear because of seasons?
With the seasons expansion, spring, summer, autumn and winter find their way into the game and of course bring different weather conditions with them. The seasons, or more specifically the weather, also have an effect on plants, so some plants will not grow or completely die and disappear. For example, the green peas only grow in spring, while the peppers only grow in summer and the snowdrops only in winter.
However, the behavior of the plants due to the seasons has nothing to do with the “plants disappearing” bug, since the problem occurs even if you do not have the seasons expansion or have deactivated the seasons.
