@FinalBossNyuma  Can you load that household back up and see if pressing the home button on the DS4 then pressing it again to being the game up causes the virtual keyboard to appear so you can edit the pet breed?

@PoptartJuniper I’ve just tried your suggestion - the text box remains inaccessible. 😞 Even after multiple attempts it remains greyed out & never prompts my keyboard.

    @FinalBossNyuma Thanks so much for checking and getting back! Can you just select the pet and assign a breed from the breed menu?

      @PoptartJuniper Yes I can - I’m unfamiliar with the pets CAS, but as far as I’m aware choosing a breed spawns an entirely different cat with a breed name a single trait (unsure if that’s intended or not). If there’s a way to select a breed without changing the pre-existing pet then I’ve not yet figured out how. 😲

        I am also having this problem. Never been successful at breeding pets I've owned in the past so it never came up but now it has happened and, as mentioned before, it is incredibly frustrating. I'm not even able to change the breed to something available in the game as I'm told I can't edit pre-existing Sims.

        I'm playing on Xbox but it seems like this may be an issue across consoles ☹️

    I am having the same issue witha oet my Sims adopted after I left to work on another household.  The home button for the console does not work so I hope people stop suggesting it. I’m just going to leave world without saving anything since I can’t even save game at this point. Then adopt that stupid dog out as soon as I get back in it.

      @DJDarrah You can randomize something on the pet and it'll set it as a mixed breed. You an undo the randomizing you did and the breed will stay.
