Has anyone else noticed that their Money Trees don't harvest when they're planted under the SwiftGro Gardening Centre? My Sim has several Money Trees that are fully grown & although if you hover the cursor over them it indicates that they're ready to harvest, he's never able to get any money from them. :x I've found this has happened with a few other plants as well but the Money Trees are definitely the worst affected.

I guess it's another one of those minor issues that EA are unlikely to ever get around to fixing.
I do know that I did not have this issue in November as thats when I started playing again after a long break, and I had money trees then that I harvested until they died.
I have certainly noticed this problem in the last couple of months though, so it may be one of the recent patches that have caused the issue.
Hope that helps!

Please do not send me PMs/post on my wall if you're looking for help. I can't attend to those. You can find me at AnswerHQ.

Yep - I had this same problem and had to use Chicken's mod fix for it (over at TFM's site), and it was fine, until University. Then, it started up again, and the fix didn't work anymore. I even removed the gatherer trait and reset everything (including planting new money trees) and it still freaked out!
After some researching over at twallan's site (nraas industries), he determined that EA made the same coding error with the new Science skill from University - so if your sim has the science skill - it will still result in Money Tree episodes whether you have the gatherer trait or not.
So, I basically just stopped dealing with money trees at this point, LOL because it wasn't worth all the aggrivation and I can use the gatherer trait without a mod fix now.
BTW, Crinrict, thank you so much for your help site and the bug threads you do here on the forums - I have used them many times to figure out whether I am alone or not with my sims blowing up with glitches, etc. and I really appreciate all your hard work and dedication!
I was wondering the other day if this bug was fixed. Guess not. Do you know if they plan to fix it at some point? I really wish in the meantime OW could fix this, if it's possible.
I am also really hoping EA plans to fix this at some point, but the fact it wasn't fixed with the University patch, and in fact they doubled the problem by miscoding the Science skill with the same mistake, I think I may be fantasizing for awhile..... LOL
My Sim did have the Science skill and that must be what is causing havoc.
Does anyone know if there is a mod for this? I tried crinrict's blog link but that has a link that doesn't work.
I've never tried to harvest money trees with the tractor, but the tractor doesn't work with the crystal plants from ITF either.
If your talking about the second link on Cricint's blog, then you need to register at that site before the link to work correctly.
If your new to mods, then I recommend the Nraas mod, as those mods are more known.
It took me ages to work out what causes this in my game.
When you use the tractor or dragon to harvest a few times the Sims inventory gets full. There are thousands of harvested items in there. Sell them or move them to the fridge and the tractor will stop resetting and vanishing. My sim resets when she uses the dragon to harvest too. Emptying inventories fixes both problems for me

I've never noticed a problem,my with gatherer trait or science skill. But I don't think everyone is affected so it must be a bit more complicated. Also I never had a problem with the tree of prosperity while it was broken. That's been fixed by EA now though.

I did come across a new (to me) issue, though. In a new game with an old sim imported in, my sim started getting that issue where plants would show the state as "Harvest", but there was nothing to harvest and the plant would never actually grow to a harvest state. Planting all new plants had worked for me before so, I tried a few things (disposing old plants/planting new, moving plants in build/buy, moving them to planters inside) and nothing seemed to work.
I read something about using sunlight as fertilizer being the problem, so I got rid of the gardening station. I planted all new plants and created a little tractor path section and everything was working again!
To test again, I added a gardening station over some of the plants and fertilized them with the sunlight and they all turned up with the same issue. Reaching maturity but never showing veggies/fruits when the plant would say 'Harvest' but would not show the option to Harvest. Everything BUT the money trees were affected
