On console, Does anyone know which of the placeable tree packs were the ones with issues. I had half my farm dissapear once when I cut one down and as i wasnt sure which tree pack caused issue I haven't used a placeable tree since. Lately i have been perfecting my landscaping skills and have been able to create some pretty big mountains to log and build on. Want to use placeable trees again as hauling saplings up some of the lengthy, windy roads takes forever and some hillsides are impossible to use tree planter on (lost count of how many times I rolled it trying to get a tree planted in that "perfect spot")

I had that happen on my Ravenport save awhile back I lost about 40 hours of work so I uninstalled all tree mods and I have not any problems. I had both tree mods installed but I was using the mod called placeable trees. So I would say just plant trees better than losing alot of work. Hope that helps

Yeah been planting like mad, one save had 1400 trees planted, but some places are very hard or impossible to reach. Also i'm trying to build a huge mountain covered in forest with a farm house nesting on top and silos/sheds/ animals on landings along the path up the mountain. So really want some placeable trees so its not all pine around the yards, guess I better go do a few tests and find out if any of the placeable trees can be used without issues.

What do you mean half your farm disappear?

Just that, when you place then remove one of the placeable trees everything disappears off the map. Usually buildings, animals and sell points are gone and the only option is to delete the save and start over.

... or your savegame is just "blacked out" after cutting one of the placeable trees down (completely removing it that is).

Hopefully Giants and the modders can figure out the issue as it's a fairly serious one (serious in the realms of Farm Sim at least lol).
I haven't seen any acknowledgement of it from either though thus far.

Animal yards, sell points and few other placeables vanished. What happened was I placed a heap of trees then realised I had maxed out slot count, went into menu and some trees could be deleted through shop menu/owned garage menu. Deleted all trees in that menu then noticed that my slot count was still high and that many of the trees I had placed were still there. Next I set about cutting one down to see if the slot count fell, but it stayed the same. Next I sold the entire cut tree at sawmill and removed the stump, slot count stayed same. Frustrated I saved and quit, when I loaded the game save again I decided to forget about trees and go feed my chickens but they were gone, pen and all. I thought OK I must of sold it accidentally when I sold all those trees. Tried to replace chicken yard but kept getting red outline, because game still thinks there is a building in the space. Had a look around map and a large number of other placeables had done the same so I had huge empty unusable spaces amongst my farm yard.

Tested the "more trees" mod. Placed chicken coop, grain silo and buy anything silo. Then placed a few giant pine trees, some smaller pines and a two maples. Cut sold and removed stumps of some, others I just cut and left stump and timber on ground also noted the Slot count stayed same. Saved and reloaded, chicken coop and silos now gone. Also noticed the trees that I cut but hadn't sold and stumps I had left were now gone too, however on the plus side it did let me replace buildings in same spot. So I can safely say the "more trees" mod has an issue, now to test the "placeable trees" mod ... Will let you know the outcome soon

Just tested "Placeable trees" mod. No issues with it, nothing disappeared no matter what I tried... So to sum it up, uninstall the "more trees" mod and feel safe to use "placeable trees" mod.

Reads like some kind of glitch from hitting the slots limit? Maxxing out the slots doesn't sound it would be a good idea as it's bound to stability issues.

Nope, nothing to do with the slot limit. It's an issue with the more trees mod by the looks of it. It happened to me on Marwell Manor when I wasn't anywhere near the slot limit.

No its not a slot issue, was at 972/1299. Its the trees, that's why I tested it to see which tree mod was causing gremlins to hide stuff from us. Tested thoroughly and can say with 100% certainty in myself that the "placeable trees" mod works fine, tried every last tree in pack, three of each actually, #1- I removed in shop #2 - sold all timber from tree and removed stump entirely (checked using landscaping lowering tool) #3 - simply felled and left whole tree and stump. Saved and reloaded and all was good on the farm...
Did same with "more trees" mod and any trees I tried caused the glitch where placeables dissapear so......
"More trees" - BAD uninstall now!!
"Placeable trees" - GOOD happy tree planting!!

Had placeable trees in the game only, cut 2 down, entire farm wxcept vehicles GONE. Placeable trees did it in for me

Yeah it happened to me just recently with the placeable tree mod too, after loading seasons on my Greenwich save they had that weird texture bug, couldn't find them in my owned items so I cut them down. When I went back to play next day, my entire farm and all sell points on map had vanished.
Sorry, back in May the info I gave was correct.
However something seems to have changed since then.
If you want to use placeable trees i found this to be best.
start a new save and place one of every tree, then go into owned items, take note of the trees that show up here as they SHOULD be safe to use as it seems the issue is from cutting down a placed tree, so selling them doesn't cause the issue.
