@RavenSpit Yeah, playing Sims4 on console has to be difficult. I cannot imagine playing it without mods and CC. I thought there were talks going on about the idea of allowing console players to use mods and CC? I haven't heard anything about how those talks went, so I'm assuming they ditched the idea or they can't make up their minds about it. But you're right...this bug is not because of some mod or item of CC mucking things up. And not having a garden on the same lot as pets didn't make any difference in the number of disappearances in any of my testing saves. On to the next idea! LOL
