First let me say a grand thank you to all the modders and their fantastic work on 7 Days to die. You guys are amazing. And a special thank you to SphereII for all your really amazing mods and tutorials and help for the community. I must have fishing and hunting and foraging in my game. Without you guys, I'd have to do it all from scratch myself.

Bug Description
When I enter a water area, all the "better life" asset spawn as they should according to the biome and entity group and spawn settings. But they start out kind of stuck to the floor of the body of water and kind of hover around where I'm assuming the invisible spawn points are. And then they generally head to the north side of the water course and eventually make it to the edge of the water and disappear into the map. They don't appear on the other side of the dirt. They just vanish as they cross the dirt block. Also, none of them are targetable or interactive. I can't see them on the target HUD or hit them with guns or melee. Also, once they move off the map, they seem to stop spawning. No new fish spawn unless I move to a new area where more spawn points occur.
Detailed steps to reproduce the bug
I'm a modder myself. I have a heavily modded ravenhearst overhaul with a lot of other stuff added and my own mods layered on top. I've gotten everything to work but this. I tried it without the other mods- with just "score" and "a better life" for version 21.2. I've been trying everything I can think of to get them working. I've been at this for 2 weeks now. They were working fine on alpha 19.6 stable. But when I updated to alpha 21.2 stable, I get the behavior described above. I've tried changing the entity classes and substituting other entities and models. I've tried changing the commands and just everything I can think of, and nothing seems to work. On a side note, I also switched out to version 1.0.0.732 of "a better life" and all those assets show up and are interactive, but they don't have textures- they're all just blank white and they still have the strange behavior where they seem to hug the floor of the water courses.
Actual result (description of what is occurring)
When you first enter the chunk, the fish and turtle spawn as normal but they're stuck to the bottom of the water course and kind of seem to want to hover around the spawn points. But they slowly and deliberately head generally North until they reach the edge of the water course and then vanish into the ground. They seem to just disappear from the world. When I enter editor mode and fly through the ground to see where they're going, they don't appear on the other side of the ground. And nothing I do makes them interactable or targetable. They animate and swim much as normal except that they always tend toward the north side and hug the bottom of the water course.
Expected result (what you expect to occur)
I would love to see them acting normally- but the most important things are that they don't leave the map and that I can target and hunt them and salvage their meat and bones
