Hmm...
I play in a new save after the patch and so far I have no problems.
The cat stays at home and the garden produces veggies and stuff. I have N.A.P.s turned off and so far I haven’t seen anything in my game.
My little corner of the world just got a green eco-footprint but that is such a recent thing so I cannot say if it will flip back and forth in my game.
I have had one weird incident so far. When trying to fertilize a flower it bugged back to a little dirt pile. So if I just stick to watering, weeding and harvesting I am good so far. Will let the bees work on the plants instead.
