- Crafting items, such as glass, goat horns, and straw, may disappear from general merchants' inventory completely.
- The containers in the houses will not show stolen items in red, like all other containers. The only way to tell if an item in a container is stolen is to take it. It will show the usual marker in the inventory menu.
- Even if you have a pickaxe in your inventory, you may be unable to interact with the stone quarry or clay deposit.
- Some NPCs may not display their clothing.
- Huskies and death hounds may vanish from the house after becoming pets and will not show up at their original areas.
- Using the forge at your home may cause the grindstones and workbenches to become unusable.
- Reloading a save prior to using the forge will solve this.
- Dropping items from your inventory in some of the rooms will sometimes result in them disappearing completely.
- You may lose the option to hire a bard for your homestead if you purchase all of the other improvements first.
