Hi @Doogleplex and @Ericmanriquez - welcome to the forums and thank you for sharing your experience of the issue.
In case you haven’t seen it yet, I updated my post on this issue yesterday: [Known Issue][PS4/XB1] Loss of interactions
Doogleplex - did you see snakes in your game or are you refering to the island type that you traveled to? I’ve also already submitted reports to the team on the other issues you mentioned.
