sorry for the late reply! i was able to fix a couple things while experimenting. with the building issue, it seems to be a bug regarding downloading a build from the gallery and then attempting to edit it, which i found when i stumbled across the thread you linked here. i basically rebuilt the gallery build myself from scratch and everything worked fine there.
seen as the game wouldn’t let me exit, i restarted my pc and reopened it, once i went back onto my reapers rewards save, the issue with the claiming rewards button not working was fixed. so im not entirely sure what caused it to break the first time, considering my mods folder was removed. besides changing the build, i didn’t make any other changes to the save that could’ve impacted the functionality of that button.
thank you for the help with the flowers task too! i haven’t logged on today, but i’ll definitely try that later and see if i can get it working!
