Issues with Tamed Doggo despawning in fenced area and saddled Mu moving erratically.

[Gunner_Ham]

I never faced any of this issues after the Mid Anniversary event. First of all it started when I pet the collared doggo shortly while after I moved to different area to fish, the pet suddenly appeared next to me or randomly wandering about sometimes into the sea. I constantly had to pet and make it follow me back to fenced area yet again keeps despawning as soon as I go to different area to fish yet the doggo stays fenced in if I fish near the area. I'm concern that will get attacked by shark or crocodile as close to sea and have not yet relocated to larger land, plus took me several deep mining runs to obtain doggo collar. The saddled mu started to move about erratically as soon I select 'stop diving' to dismount. It's not eating the blue fruit I dropped and shelter is not registering in animal section of the journal. I want to be able to go fishing in peace while the event is on or when I do terraforming and decorating without having to move the doggo back to the fenced off area. I'm loving the new updates but disliking the bugs the causes.
Also there's ongoing issue with carrying items while going into my main house, the door keeps opening and close there's short lag before entering. By the way I am using mods.

not sure if this will help you, as you may already be doing it. Though good to check - for the Collared Doggo - pet once to get it to follow you - (it will faze through fences to do so) And pet twice to make it 'stay' in the area you want it to stay.

pet once to follow
twice to stay.

as for the Mu, I am not sure what to do. Maybe need to verify files, check if there are any mods that are causing it by turning them off and on. may need to uninstall and reinstall. the usual stuff to see if it is a corrupted save file.. Maybe try on a different island to see if you get the same thing happening.

I have a feeling it might be one of mods could be affecting behaviour not just tamed animals but also NPCs. One of them was struggling to move over the cubic terrain.
I've noticed the doggo does follow me while fenced in and will see of petting twice to get it to stay.

Just update, I reinstalled the game and played without any mods. The Saddled Mu still moves by itself after dismounted but less erratic. I picked up and place back the large animal shelter so now registered as 'sheltered' in the journal.
The Collared doggo does stay put after twice petting. Nothing I can do about the Saddled Mu as still won't eat when I drop the fruit.
On my second save file I haven't made much progress so can't test out same thing will happen. Thanks for help.

just to clarify the saddled mus eat quondong fruit, they eat after 8am and only once a day.

can try one mod at a time to see what one changed the behaviour of your doggo and mu.

hope all is well for you and that you are still enjoying the game.
