No Story Progression after Patch 1.5

[Mekaida]

I'm not sure who else has had this happen, but I had purchased the game and played at least 20 hours before the patch had hit. I was able to get "pretty far" into the story, like getting requests from the other characters, get triggers to upgrade the garden (not quite to the green house) and create items for the other characters, all within the first "season" of the game.

Now after the patch, I just get repeated requests for cuttings and bouquets from Leslie, Jasmine, and Laurie. No other story progression aside from Robin telling me about the hose, and I've tried reloading, or doing other quests (I managed to fulfill the flower requirement for Jasmine's altar in the pavilion), and NOTHING triggers anymore. I'm just in a continuous loop of... nothing.

It's very frustrating when I KNOW there's more to the story, and I don't know what I missed or why I can't get any further. Did I miss something somewhere in the patch that mentioned the triggers being moved/delayed/removed? If I did, please let me know, I would like to know I'm not slowly losing my mind, lol.

Thanks for any help!

I have now created 4 gardens and each time I have solved all the flower variants and all the tasks in the pavilion. So I can say that there are not many more stories. There is some communication each time you finish a piece in the pavilion, collect all the flower varieties and the like. Basically it is more about just creating a garden that you like.
After completing the requests in the mailbox you often get special tools, the same goes for the tasks in the pavilion. After you have collected all of them, not much happens and the orders repeat themselves. Then it is time to create a new garden. ;)

Yeah, that is understandable but what is happening is that I'm not at the end of the game, technically. I just started a new file, I'm on Day 33, and there is nothing else triggering. In my old file before the patch, by the time I was in "Summer", I had gotten story triggers from Markus, the Sunflower man, and the person who wants to trade frogs, and upgraded to more garden space.

I am not getting those same triggers now
So it feels like I'm stuck in late game loop at the start of the game.
