Omni Plant "Gifts" in Sims' Inventory
« on: November 10, 2012, 03:40:23 PM »
Several of my Sims have these in their inventory, but they are not interactive.  I have no idea where they came from or what to do with them.  Thoughts?

I'd love to get an omni plant as a gift! just the seed would go nicely.  You get the seeds as a reward for completeing a gardening challenge which does not seem to be coming up for my current sim.

You can feed the omni plant with a wide variety of items from your inventory.  It will then reproduce that item several times.  So, if you feed it perfect deathfish, it will produce several more perfect deathfish.  Or, use it to make money by feeding it a very expensive book.
Or, with one plant you can rotate the feed items to maintain your stock of fish and harvestables without having to grow a lot of individual plants.

I don't have the option to plant it, though.  It is just a gift box that doesn't respond to clicking and says "omni plant" on it.

This is a glitch. TWALLEN has a mod called Debugenabler that will let you delete the package from your inventory. I've been lucky so far and not had any this time around.

I just got one of those gift boxes too.  My couple went to China and when they came back, my girl sim had one in her inventory.  No interactions, so not exactly sure where it came from. :)

I've been getting them in the mailbox as gifts from friends. I get gifts everyday in the mail and they go into my family inventory except when the omni plant gift shows up and it goes in my regular inventory. I've been having to use Master Controller to get rid of them.

Omni Plant delivered as package
« Reply #6 on: November 15, 2012, 09:36:28 AM »
For the non-believers I have pictures: :P




For the others: I really hope you guys know a solution for this. After my sims has ordered Omni Plants they came, as you can see, in a package. A package he couldn't open and seems to be stuck forever now in his inventory. To make it worse, there are two packages and they both do not responce.

Omni plants being received as gifts and getting stuck in Sim's inventory is actually a known bug from patch 1.42. 

There is already a topic about it so I'm going to be merging the two.

How does that mod exactly works? Not the installing, but the working with it.

Talking about the mod would be a little off topic.  Perhaps you could start a thread on the mods board asking about it.


Also - Twallan does very thorough walkthroughs on all of his mods on his website Nraas Industries.

I am not offtopic.
The subject is about the omni plant packages and how to get rid of them.
The original topic might be not, but after you've merged my topic with it, it now is.

There is a way to get rid of them using mastercontroller mod from nrass.  Like Ricalynn said, you can read about it on the site.

When you have the mod installed, you can just transfer the omni plant packages from the sims inventory back into the mailbox.  It works great, plus I have been getting pieces of mail in the sims inventory too.  I was never a big mod person, but if they keep piling up in the inventory, it is eventually going to glitch out.

Thanks! I did it slightly differently though. I stead of transferring to the mailbox I just choose what to sell from my inventory. Every omni plant was exactly $0,- worth.

I'm also getting this glitch with Bills now (but I have the No Bills Ever LTR).

I'm hoping it'll delete itself when the sim in question dies.

You're not fond of using mods? It seems to be the only way to get these things out.
Unless you can give them as a present yourself to another sims but I doubt that is even possible.

I intensely dislike mods because I'm paranoid about my computer.

Plus, it's not a gamebreaking deal, and it's in a Dynasty Challenge file.

It's just extremely annoying.

I've just come across the 4 bills and an omni plant in my founder's spouse's inventory. All of which I can't interact with. Hopefully it won't happen with any of the other members of the family!

4 Bills? What bills are you talking about? And if you can't buy your bills this way, will the repo man appear more often?

They are not actually bills, just like the omni package is not actually omni seeds.  If you do put them back into the mailbox, they will convert back to gifts that people have sent. :)

Edit:  Well, I can't say they convert back 100% of the time.  After putting the stuff back into the mailbox, my sim got like 10 gifts and I put back 15 omni and 12 bills.  The next time she got mail, she got a few more omni and some more bills.  Funny thing, it only has happened to this one family.  Go figure.

I keep hoping, sigh, that EA will fix it so that we can delete everything in the persanal inventory.  Much like you can choose to delete all from the family inventory.  Occassionally, in the past I've had no-interactive items in the family inventory and by removing everything else then selecting "sell all" I have got rid of the unwanted items.  I not only have bills and omni plants in my personal inventory, but several statues removed from consignment.  These ought to be in the family inventory.  At least, I can re-consign these in a couple of days, but I would just as soon sell them from the inventory, if I could as they did not sell when consigned and I don't want to get that "customers are getting bored" message.

I don't have, at this point, any mods so is there a way to get rid of these gifts, the omini and bills without using mods?

I hate being forced to do something that I haven't made a final decision on.  I won't go into it here, as discussing mods is off topic, but the items in inventory that can't be gotten rid of is a problem I am hoping to find an answer to that problem.

Sadly, I think there is more to worry about with this bug, then just clutter in your inventory. I have been having an issue with traveling, where I can't return home once I go on vacation. I have gone through most of my previous saves and fell as though I can confidently pinpoint this issue with the time that I started receiving these lovely little packages in the mail. Unfortunately, it is also in my ID file, so I can't use a mod to get rid of them, even if I was comfortable using them. I've tried a lot of different tricks, and resets, but nothing seems to work.

Any progress from anyone else?

I understand the mod situation, but until EA comes up with something else, then at this point, will have just have to deal with those little packages in the mailbox. :)

I also had a lot of omni plants and bills in my Sims inventory, so I got the Debug Enabler.  There isn't a delete option for the things in the inventory.  I was able to move all of the things to the family inventory and from there to sell them for 0 which worked.

How did you move them to the family inventory? And what is the debug enabler?

Yeah, it's frustrating.  I'm dealing with it by never having my Sims pick up the mail, but it's a problem when they travel because they automatically pick up the mail when they return home.  I think I'm going to have to restrict travel until EA fixes this.

Thank you so much for the NRASS DebugEnabler mod suggestion. I was able to move the bills and omni-plant gifts to my family inventory and then sell them. So happy now :p Such a minor thing but still so nice to be rid of them.

It seems the new patch has corrected this in receiving new "gifts" but it doesn't allow you to remove the ones currently in inventories.

Omni Plant Glitch

My sim has recently received several omni plant packages in the mailbox but I can not click on them, they just sit in my inventory. The sim is fully skilled in gardening. Could this be part of the other gardening glitch that does not allow her to harvest more than once?

This is, unfortunately, a longstanding glitch. There's another thread on here that discusses it and gives some ideas on how to fix. I think it has more to do with the mailbox than the gardening issues from Seasons.
