Sims can't tend garden

Hi,

After using the lastest patch (1.42), my Sims can't seem to execute the command 'Tend Garden'. I would tell me Sim to 'Tend Garden', and he'll just walk to the plant which I used to give the command and weed/harvest. After that, he'll just stand there, with the command being cancelled. Anyone got this bug too? Are there known fixes to this problem? Please help me, thank you

Edit: By the way, I don't use mods at all.

Yea. It is really troublesome to have to press Harvest one by one. Oh another thing I realised is that my plants are stuck in the 'Harvest' stage. What I mean is after I harvest my produces, the plants' status is still 'Harvest'.

I searched online for solutions. Two solutions were provided. One was using the 'Overwatch' mod. The other is using the 'MasterController' mod by Nraas' to reset the collecting book. Apparently, they said that the problem is the blank page of the plants tab in the 'Collection Journal', which somehow causes this bug. What do you think Lady ElDi? Should I use these mods?
