I had one of my kids pick up the hot pink rock and then he got stuck (twitching back and forth) when he turned to go to the scientists hut and then it was gone. cruel glitch...

I have had the same problem several times. I think it happens when the kids are a little bit sick.

I've had that same glitch with collectibles, it happens at the fire, by the black flower and at the edges of the mosaic.

I was going to ask about this today, I'm glad to have found your post.

Sometimes the kids will pick up a mush or collectible and not move, then the item disappears.

Sometimes they "run into" an object and spin until they have lost the item.

I find that after I help them pick it up, I move the screen so that the kids aren't seen. (kwim?) I find that they run into fewer things that way.

I keep telling myself....MY REAL KID DROPS STUFF ALL THE TIME, sooo maybe it's a feature not a _bug_. LOL!!!

We are working on the worst of these issues for the update that will be released, but we are unlikely to fix them all.

LOL Good spin, JuJu. I tell myself the very same type of thing about my stubborn/lazy villagers. Sometimes they seem a bit TOO lifelike!

Hoping you dont also fix the "good" glitches
