Hotfixes

• Farming - Returned seed quality is now always the same as the quality of the seeds that you put in.

• Save - Loading an old shopkeeper outfit could break the game by loading a material that does not exist anymore.
• Save - Submitted a character type converter which caused errors when loading employees from an old shop save.
• Save - The Halloween scenario would not correctly wipe shop rewards when reloading a save.
