Re: Broken Vet Clinic

hello, just for more information, when you examine the pets as a vet was there a pop up on the left side that gives you an indicator of things you require to do until you have enough to cure them? for ex, "check mouth" you can discover they have bad breath "check ears" you discover they might have high temperature. once you do a few of these, there will be an option for a cure, either a spray or a medicated treat or refer the pet to a operation machine. As far as i know the vet can't bill owners until their pets is at least examine at the exam table & given some kind of cure, even if it is the wrong cure & the pet is still sick after.

When it comes to other employees the higher their vet skill the more chance they can cure pets without you having to interject or help, the reason they stop might be because their vet skill is not high enough, you need to make sure to get them training everyday when they come to work so that they go to training after work & gain vet skill the next day.

I haven't played the vet clinic with low level vet skill with my employees, i always open the vet, set clinic to not receive customers then click all my vet to train them then close the vet again & keep doing that until all my employees have full vet skill.(this will take a couple of days of opening & closing the vet just for the purpose of training) once all of them have full vet skill then i open the clinic to finally get customers. you spend a lot more money this way before you actually earn since you keep training all your vet employees so make sure you have enough if you want to try this method. this might also be good to try to see if there is any change in your sims actions when it comes to examining pets.

It might be good also to try the vet again without any cc or mods to see if there is any change, sometimes mods & cc can effect game play

The training of your cat might have to go to a different tread since it seems like a different bug to this one but sometimes if you don't catch them at the right moment, the cat doesn't register it at all & ignore you, it might be just this rather that a glitch because when they ignore you the relationship won't be effected. it takes me days to train my cat off counters, since it continued to jump across one to the other & you can't scold them unless they jump down, as when the cat is on the counter it can't receive scolding it will tell the cat to jump down but if you don't catch them right at that moment the cat will jump up on the counter again & you can't scold them if this happen. so you have to be at the right moment. This might just be whats happening to you, i could be wrong, this is just my personal experience with training my cat in game.

  • Yes, the pop up is there. I cure the pet, yet I still can't bill the owner even if I check everything and make sure that I cure the pet of any sickness. I've removed all custom content and mods in my game, and placed the family in a new save, and the issue still occurs. I've been paying for training, Delgato is now level 5, and random sim is now at level 3 or 4. They still seem to stand outside of the clinic and not move, or not show up at all. I've praised, promoted, demoted, fired, and criticized each of my employees, but their behavior never changes. I got a base family off of the gallery, and a new clinic, worked on their skills, and the same issue still happens even with sims I made myself.

    I fixed the issue with my cat though, just needed to replace him with a twin.

    hmm that is strange, i just went & tested my vet clinic, everything seem to work for me, i have the option to bill the owner & all my workers are able to examine pets & automatically bill the owners after but all of the vets are 10 skills along with my playable sim. Have you made sure all your other vets are allowed to treat patient under the manage employee tab under responsibility?

  • Yes, I have, one of them is set to clean and care for the animals, and the other is set to not clean and just take care of the animals.

    No, I always keep the owner's pet at home, she usually works by herself. And yes, they do get stuck like that. They get stuck outside of the lot, and never move no matter how many times I reset them or how fast/slow the time is going.
