Re: No stray pets appearing

Hi @44mj44 !  What platform is your game on; PC / Mac / Console?  If PC or Mac, are you using any mods?  If you do have mods, exit the game and move the mods to your desktop.  Then open the Sims again and test a new game save to see if strays will show up.

I added the "Cat Hangout" lot trait to my sim's home once.  This was on a lot in Willow Creek.  I had four strays appear within a few minutes.  It was cute at first but they stayed for the longest time!  I eventually lured them outside with food and locked the door to all pets.  Then I removed that lot trait as fast as I could and never looked back 😉 

Aside from the lot traits, the best place to find strays is in Brindleton Bay.  Your sim can travel to pretty much any lot there and find them wandering around.  I find them mostly hanging out by the beachfront and the lighthouse.  I've also had sims living in Brindleton and strays walked by fairly regularly.
