Hi! hope all is well, and things have improved for you @Paigeisin5 :)
I have given up on the pets, and decided to start a rags to riches save for now. I’m just waiting to see what happens with the next patch, I really hope they fix this since I’m really looking forward to the knitting pack. I really hope the bugs can be fixed in older saves too, because my legacy is filled with them now. I really don’t want to have to go back on all the progress and be set back a whole generation. I’m still very thankful I backed up my saves before the EP & patches, as I’ve had that save since 2017.
