Posted up V1.1.
I've not been able to reproduce these problems but it will hopefully be fixed by either v1.1 code changes, using v3g, or both. To apply v3g take a clean Strive installation, copy the 3g files over the base game files, then run Strive for the first time to create a backup incluing v3g. After that you can use mods and they will inherit the 3g changes.
V1.1 also includes permanent collars. Go into the slave guild and buy can get a collar for a slave with a custom name tag and it doesn't use an accessory slot.
