Sims 2 Legacy - Cannot train pets

Typically when you have a cat or dog, you are able to reinforce certain behaviors (like: Eating Pet Food, Scratching Furniture, Peeing Outside, etc.).

I've noticed that while some behaviors work properly, others don't. For example: I have a cat that tends to sit on counters and when I attempt to go and Praise/Scold the pet, the interactions just don't appear in the Pie Menu. There's also an indicator on the pet's icon in the household list, this indicates when a training opportunity is available. And while that bit functions properly the pet themselves cannot be trained.

    i'm having the exact same issue as well, really hoping that they work on this given how long this has been a bug several people are reporting

    Yeah, I have the same issue. Especially when e.g. cat is sitting on the counter and dog is destroying furniture, I can't scold/praise them.

    EA_CadeIssue still occurs in Patch 5, I have a full green bar for praising a pet for peeing outside, but the Pet doesn’t gain a learned behaviour. It seems scolding may work but I’m not entirely sure, here’s a screenshot of the full green bar. Brand new test hood created on the latest patch too.
