Issue: so far this is the only one I've noticed but my brown rabbit would just disappear as I'm playing. The only way I noticed how to fix this was to pull up the fashion tab and it shows back up again.

Platform: xbox PC
Issue: Sometimes companions level up during a bonus drop (when the music times out) and then I miss out on the extra stuff. So after all that happened, all of the dropped items still appear in my game and I can't pick them up.

I now find them in scrooges store, my house and the trials

Issue: When a monkey steps over a certain threshold on a stairway on the Docks or the Lookout while I am playing tag with it, their counter resets. This means that I have to pursue them a lot more often until it randomly doesn't run on the stairs three times in a row. This issue have been existing since day 1 of the Eternity Isle DLC.

At this house position, Companions who come here and try to move get stuck. Movement animation runs but they don't go anywhere.

Might possibly be trying to move into a tile that the house it sitting on because they can eventually give up and move away.

Max is just roaming around by my house in DDV, Eternity Isle and storybook Vale when he’s just in my inventory. I mean he is cute but just a little strange when I don’t have him set to be my companion or in one of the creature homes.

Platform: PS5

Issue: I haven't received any memory orbs from feeding the critters for two days since I have finished all of the base game movie memories.

I feed all of the critters (their second favorite foods because when I feed them first favorite nothing happens.) and I get no memory orbs. Which is weird because I usually get one or two a day.

solid cloud Platform: Steam/PC Issue: Spices & Herbs Critters not picking up Spices & Herbs ...

I had this same issue a couple days ago on switch. With relaxing capybara.

Per convo in dreamlight help, I’m adding that they don’t pick up the bonus items. So nothing at all basically.

Companion critters deciding to run into each other, getting stuck. If left alone and the player character does not move, they are simply stuck and apparently can't pathfind their way out of this.

Platform: Steam/PC
issue: Critters not picking up items that are their bonus items

I have two raccoons equipped for the gem collections, and neither of them pick up when the gem drops from mining it. All my other companions pick up their respective items just fine, but the raccoons refuse.

Regular black and regular white raccoons for info's sakes

Issue: option to hangout is glitching. I couldn't get Tiana to hang out and then it happened with Stitch. After teleporting between realms a few times the option for Tiana fixed but Stitch never did. I moved his house between realms trying to get it to trigger but he won't go to those realms with his house.
