Please use this thread going forward: [CD] Pets do't eat from full bowls (Patch 1.69) | EA Forums - 4955379
I installed the 13 September update and installed My Frist Pet Stuff, now none of my pets can eat on their own. I'm on PC. I saw some posts where they mention the fireplace causing issues, I do have a fireplace.
I also tried different bowls and feeders. I reset both bowls and the dispenser part. I reset the pets and restarted the game.
The pets only eat when I tell them to, so I'm just cheating their needs until the issue is fixed.
Please help!
@GalacticBloodElf Hello! Have you tried placing the bowl in different places? I wonder if there could be routing issues. However, there is an open bug report that may be related to the issue you're having.
If this is your issue, please click "me too" on the first post and provide any comments you wish to share. SimGuruNick also asked for saves so perhaps you could also share your save with him.
Thank you!
I've moved the bowls several times and it still doesn't work ☹️
@GalacticBloodElf That's too bad! I see your post was moved to the main bug report. Hopefully they can figure out what's happening from the shared saves and find a way to fix it soon!
I’m having this exact issue, and not just with animals in my household. I have a lot that’s open to stray cats and dogs and they complain about empty bowls too, when both of my pet bowls are completely full, and almost none of them actually choose to go eat on their own.
I’ve also noticed that the bowl refill machines don’t work either. I’ve tried everything, from setting them in build mode and leaving them alone, to trying to schedule a refill time. I just end up having to manually refill the bowl. I have so many pets, this is becoming more cumbersome than infants!
