Shan didn’t want to post again so she asked me to post this here.

There’s a huge patch out with bug fixes.

Spoiler:
Lol, somehow that's cute, GossipQureen. I'm picturing you standing there talking with Shan peeking over your shoulder at everybody.
Anybody got a character they particularly want to see added? I only have one that I can think of at the moment...Robin Hood. (The fox.) Though Scar is being added in the October content update, as far as I know, and I do kind of want to interact with Scar.
I have all but two of the currently available characters, I believe...and I still have two regions left to unlock cuz they're the priciest ones. A couple of my townies are at level 10, and Mickey is unfortunately a better harvesting buddy than Wall-E (I like Wall-E better, but I always get more free crops from Mickey, even when they're at the same level.)
I haven't played in a few days because I got sick of the hourly crashes, but now that they say they've improved that, I'll probably go back in. The Harvestella demo stressed me out enough that I'm not sure I want to go back into it, even though I didn't finish the available story...I'd probably rather go into Dreamlight.

So, after the update to fix all that stuff...my game works worse than ever. In fact, the things they say they fixed are the things that are now totally screwy (which for me weren't much of an issue before.) Crashes don't appear to be less frequent on Switch, and now quest items aren't appearing. SUPER infuriating. Like when you place the statue....no memory appears to be picked up. This means I can never get Eric. And when you complete the boat...nothing 'strange' appears for you to pick up. I have no idea what that means other than that I can't progress Moana's quest line...at least it's not blocking the arrival of a character.
And I did NOT get my Deluxe Pack items. Still only the Founder's Pack items ever arrived in my mailbox...nothing else.
One 'golden event' (just what I call it) finally lasted the right amount of time and I was happy to think they'd fixed the problem and made it possible to actually complete them...but then the reverted to being shortened again.
The game is slightly worse after the patch than it was before it.
EDIT: The other problems are unsolved, but after a bit I figured out why I didn't have my Deluxe items. My problem was slightly different from others'. Other people were saying they got the items in the mail...but the items didn't transfer to their inventory, not to clothing, furniture, or the moonstone account. They weren't in their inventory anywhere. But I didn't even get the letter in the mail that is supposed to contain them. Eventually, because of something I remembered seeing someone say in passing, I wondered if ONLY the account that purchased the game could get those items.
I have a buying account (I call her 'Wallet'.) I do NOT use that account to play, it is a purchasing account only. (Yes, for Reasons, which I can explain, but it'd take a minute, so I don't wanna right now.) I think this is probably normal. For example, my best friend also bought a Switch for her family, and they share it, as many families would. She buys games for it with her account, as her children don't have credit cards and can't be buying their own digital games. Whatever you buy on your default Switch is playable by every account on that same Switch, INCLUDING DLC.
It's the same with DDV...halfway. Everyone on that switch can play and gets the basic founder's pack items. But with DDV, the same does not hold true if you buy a Deluxe or Ultimate Pack. ONLY the buying account will receive the Deluxe/Ultimate items. That's ridiculous. How do you handle getting them for your kids, then? Do you have to put a credit card or other payment option on THEIR account and buy each of them the Deluxe or Ultimate pack (which are outrageously priced) for all the kids to have the same stuff? That's just...no.
I really regret buying that stupid Deluxe Pack. But at least I figured it out, I guess. I just never imagined the reason I didn't have any items would be so stupid. As far as I know, no other game I've ever gotten has ever worked that way. Everything you buy in every other situation I know of is accessible to ALL accounts across the Switch that the buying account is native to.

Yep, nobody had any problems with the basic founder's pack, as far as I know...probably because EVERYONE had to get that, but only SOME people got the Deluxe or the Ultimate...only the Deluxe and Ultimate items have issues (and not for everyone.) Plus the founder's pack *is* unlocked for every profile on your Switch, unlike the other two. Baffling. Glad you're not having trouble, Shan.
I'm level 26. I guess I'm fairly far into the available content since I only have 2 characters left to bring in (and Eric is glitched, or I'd already have him. Elsa I will have as soon as I save up about 4000 more Dreamlight to unlock the frozen region.) But it's gonna take me a while to get the last region, as that's another 15,000 Dreamlight. I still haven't learned how to break the big sponge-coral-things yet, nor the bone things, nor the ice. I don't know who teaches the bone things, but I figure Moana will eventually tell me how to break the coral stuff (or Maui?) and probably Elsa will tell me how to break the ice, which I need, since I think ice of some type must also be a cooking ingredient. If' it's not, then I don't know how the heck to make sorbet.
I'm not very far with some characters' questlines. Though I'm totally done Merlin and Mickey's. Now I don't have to give them presents any more, ha ha.

No, I can already get rid of both sizes of mushrooms and stumps...I mean the blue lumps on Dazzle Beach (Moana shows you how to get rid of the smaller ones when you first find her in her own realm, but I've yet to learn how to get rid of the bigger ones.) Also the bone pieces in the Sunlit Plateau, and the spiky ice rocks that are along the edge of the Forest of Valor as you approach the frozen region.
I suspect that the bone pieces MAY not be breakable until Scar or someone from Lion King comes into the game, but I don't actually know. Dunno who teaches the large coral obstructions, but...something my sister said suggests it might be Ursula. I think Elsa teaches how to break the ice rocks, though...I suppose it could be Anna or whatshisface. Kennel? Kernel? What's his name? Anna's boyfriend. Israel? Yeah, okay...I really can't think of it. Blond dude. I think he was supposed to be an ice carver in the movie or something like that, so it could be him...I haven't really progressed his quests much. I really want to get rid of all obstacles that keep me from walking around freely, without needing to transport to get to certain areas of the map.
