Pet icon gone black and other issues

I started having issues in my save when I accidentally had 18 sims and 6 pets in a household due to a wedding. I have a mod to allow for larger households but usually have it set at 23 sims and 8 pets. After I moved out several of the sims, none of the adults in the household would let me click on their icon but everyone else from YA downwards was fine. No amount of taking the adults out of the household or restarting the game fixed this. So I gathered everyone up and shifted them to a new save. I split the household up, with the two sims who were the next heirs plus one puppy in the new household and everyone in another. But now the puppy’s icon is black and I don’t know how to fix it. And I actually was supposed to have two puppies but one of them didn’t save with the rest of the household, so I’m assuming she was too glitched to save.

How do I fix my puppy though?
  • If you have or can have NRaas MasterController in play, you might try doing a MC Reset on the puppy. Usually though a broken thumbnail for a sim, when the sim themselves is totally fine, fixes itself after a while or sometime soon after something about the sim's appearance changes. Are they due to age up to an adult dog soon or can you give them an accessory?
  • I couldn’t give him an accessory being a puppy, but I went into CAS, changed his gender to female then back again, and that seemed to fix it. I ended up aging him up a day early as well, just to make sure, and then was able to go and fix the rest of his family. Thank you for your help!
