Adopt a Pet glitch - HELP!!

Hello again, all!!

I'm experiencing a glitch. When I google it I can find several other cases of it but can't seem to find a solution.

I called on the phone in game to adopt a pet - chose my kitten, had the pop up "are you sure, they're a lot of work..." and said yes, and re-named her. It said that the pet needed to be cleaned up and was on the way, but never arrived. It has been a few sim days and still nothing. I can't call the adoption place again because it's grayed out and says the pet is on the way and I need to wait for it to arrive. I also can't edit town, move, travel etc for the same reason.

I've tried resetting the sims, re setting everything (resetsim *), all other NPCs are coming to the house when called (maid, paper boy...). I have all the major NRAAS mods. I already saved after the problem started so I can't go back :( Can anyone help??

    Pet Adoption Bug

    My solution:

    Create an event outside your property. (Open phone, select "Plan social event")
    Once you've loaded onto the new location, return home.
    This worked for me when I adopted a pet and could no longer save/build/buy.
    Hope this works for you! I was surprised it worked after searching for hours on the Internet for solutions.
    Good luck, fellow simmers!

    @Nikkibaby64, not sure if you're playing TS3 or TS4. But if it's TS4, then you might want to post this over in the TS4 section for others to see as this is an old TS3 thread from 2015 way before The Sims 4 Cats and Dogs came out... ;)
