The bug:
At 1360 Wet Basin Bend (the only non-occupied house on the water, when you first get to OL) -- All my gardening bots run to one spot at the front of the house right near the edge of the property, and have a route fail animation. Then they run off to do something else. They are looking outward away from the property, toward the road in OL, while doing the animation. I have no idea what they need. I'm guessing maybe a patch of leaves is beyond the edge of the property, that isn't showing on the surface, and is out of their reach for raking? (I moved the tree back away from the edge of the property, and there were quite a few leaves spawning where it would have been beyond the edge, before. I haven't seen any more bots route failing, so that must have been the problem.)
Also, am I having an excessive number of rodents spawning near a deciduous tree? I have one tree in the front that drops leaves, and it has spawned 9 chipmunks and 11 squirrels in three or four days. I have fall set for the maximum time, so I am really hoping that number doesn't continue to increase. I only saw one squirrel in the beginning, and just thought it was cute. I'm not so sure I like a rodent invasion, though. LOL
One tree in the back of the property has just dropped leaves, today. I already have 7 chipmunks and one squirrel, for a grand total of 28 rodents on the property. Is that abnormal? (They don't show up as spawner boxes when I turn on testing cheats and buydebug, and I am not seeing anything in the basement level.) edit: They are definitely multiplying. Up to 38 rodents, now, and fall isn't done.
So far they haven't gotten into the house. ;)
