One particular save is incapable of harvesting Creep Cluster?

In every other save its fine, I know the creep cluster is always magically floating just above the soil and have no problem harvesting it with other characters, but for some reason my Altmer just cannot see the floating roots.

I don't have any mods, although the latest update is adding a lot of creation club, so idk if that might have messed me up somehow?

I'm just a mage trying to fund research with the classic trio, I need my Creep Cluster! Please help
