[CD] 'Let Out' Interaction Doesn't Satisfy Independent Dogs' Need for Walks

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What is your current game version number? 1.80.69.1030
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All except Cottage Living, Journey to Batuu, Laundry Day Stuff Pack, Spooky Stuff Pack, and the kits.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Create a dog with the Independent trait and have a sim "let out" the dog.
What happens when the bug occurs? After letting out an Independent dog, they will eventually return home, approach the sim, and whimper with the dog leash thought bubble above its head.
What do you expect to see? Independent dogs not complaining about wanting to walk after being let out by my sim.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I hope it's not designed by choice because this makes Independent dogs' ability to walk themselves useless.

  • Same issue here. My dog will also stay out running the same loop of town indefinitely unless I call it home or reset it. This has and continues to happen with various playthroughs and saves. Super annoying. One of many bug/issues that seem to continue to be ignored by EA. Just sloppy programing imo. Like when they changed the "Ask about day" to "Check in on" in the social interactions menu yet left all the goals in the aspirations and jobs with the "Ask someone about their day". It's as if there's little to no quality control.
