CoL Chicken Coop - Feed (food for chickens) appears in Household Inventory

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:Xbox Series X
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? Version 1.45.2.2300
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Have any Sim interact with the Chicken Coop and wait for 15Simoleons to be deducted but no actual food on ground.
What happens when the bug occurs? When Sim interacts with the Chicken Coop, the Simoleon sound effect chimes and money is deducted, but no Feed* is placed on ground. After investigating I found all (150) Feed inside my Family Household Inventory with a Gold star indicating it was recent.
What do you expect to see? I'd expect to see Chicken food to be placed on ground nearby for those poor starving Chickens to eat!!
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? On console - never used.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Installed Cottage Living Pack. Exclusive to this pack only*

I'll take some screen shots soon and attach them for evidence, I'm just on Console atm, so I need to use my phone to take snaps.

    Oh boy. Looks like It's Also Affecting my Animal Treat* piles too! No wonder the Notification for "Your Cow is being affected by an animal treat" didn't appear! So yeah that's another bug tied into the Animal feed/ Treat piles! 😒

    @COSMICSMURFERI've had to manually place down the feed as a temporary measure in the meantime, so my chickens won't starve! But this keeps happening and eventually it's gonna get tedious and really difficult to keep placing down chicken feed piles out of the Family Inv! 🙄

    @COSMICSMURFERis Nobody else experiencing this? After further digging around and extensive test, I found what causes this! It's because my chicken coop is placed slightly on a **Raised** terrain surface. Even though it's flat, and definitely not *Hovering* above the ground. The game seems to think it is, so the Feed is automatically placed into Household Inventory due to "footprint path error" or whatever. So if anyone else runs into this. Try my method of placing the Chicken Coop further along down from your raised terrain. Make sure it's Completely flat. Make sure it isn't near an animal shed (cos again that "footprint path error" pops up) and delete or place down all the remaining Chicken feed piles in your Fam Inv. Then clear cache (reset game) and load it up to find it all working fine again.

    Until we get a patch / hotfix for this issue. I can't play on my farm sadly, because the Farmhouse I built is situated on a Very steep raised hill. So that completely defeats my purpose of owning and running a chicken farm, high above the chimney tops! Even though I used terrain tools to make it flat above and even below the hill, it refused to work. So I'm done with that idea now! :/
