Pet Adoption Stuck......

I would also LOVE the answer to this question... I am having the exact same problem. My sim adopted a dog and it said that the social worker would be coming over soon but it had to be cleaned up... its been 7 sim days now and still no sign of my puppy... I have tried resetting every sim in the household but I am still unable to edit town or adopt another pet

I'm having the same problem. I've lost count on the number of days that have passed since calling the adoption service. I even tried killing the Sim, but Grim Reaper never came. I'm stuck forever in this house with a dead sim.

EA need to sort this problem out - my game isn't worth playing if this keeps happening. I hope someone comes up with a solution for this soon.

Me again, I've found some kind of solution.

I only just started having this problem (not being able to edit town/move etc after attempting to adopt a pet via the phone).
After trying everything, including trying to kill and reset sims, quit the game etc, the only way I could carry on with my game without losing any of the neighborhood was to use the cheat "moveobjects on" and delete the Sims in the household. The house then becomes inactive and you are able to click on Edit Town. I just decided to leave that family and play with a previous one in that neighborhood.
This may only help some of you. I realise some might have only just started the game, leaving you with no other families to play on.
I've literally only just done this so for now I don't really have many answers other than this. Hope this helps anyway.

Also, EA are useless for answering questions.

im having the same problem. unfortunately, i didn't realize it until after i saved my game. please, if anyone has any solution that doesnt involve killing off my entire sim family, id be so appreciative!

If anyone is willing to try a mod, Overwatch might be able to help. It does have a pet adoption option but I'm not sure if it cleans the current ones up or not.

I'll give it a try. I have overwatch already installed.

EDIT: Okay, I see the option you are talking about and I set it to 'true'. Doesn't seem to do anything and the option isn't listed under 'immediate'. It doesn't appear to have done anything.

Then I tried the 'Cleanup Sitations' option, and the 'Stuck check'. Neither fixed

As another option, I tried MasterController's 'Reset Lot'. That reset all of the sims on the lot, but my pet adoption is still stuck.

EDIT #2: Okay much weirdness. I just went to the main menu without saving, then reloaded my game. The adoption is gone and my game is back to normal. Now, I know that my saved game had the stuck adoption in it because I saved several times after I made the adoption that got stuck. Anyway.. Don't know how it got unstuck, but I'm not going to look a Sim-Horse in the mouth.

Glad you got it fixed, whatever way.

Maybe it took a restart to fix it after everything you've tried.

unbelievable! your edit #2 fix worked for me! i actually had to reload the game from the main menu twice to reset the lot before the pet adoption became 'unstuck'. What is interesting is the social worker showed up right after the lot reset and was stuck, hanging out right outside my house. i couldn't interact with her whatsovever so i did a reset sim and she left. the only thing that didn't make sense was the pet was no where to be found even though the pet adoption was no longer stuck. I quit the game, came back later and loaded the saved game - funny, the missing pet was there in the saved game image of my family. Once the game, loaded, the pet was still not there...finally, i went to edit town to split up my household and was able to move the 'invisible' pet from my house to another house. problem solved. :):):)

THANKS!!!!
