[FIXED] [CD] Jog with Dog not working

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? 1.60.54.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Get To Work, Get Together, City Living, Cats and Dogs, Seasons, Get Famous, Outdoor Retreat, Spa Day, Dine Out, Vampires, Parenthood, Jungle Adventure, StrangerVille, Luxury Party Stuff, Perfect Patio Stuff, Cool Kitchen Stuff, Spooky Stuff, Movie Hangout Stuff, Romantic Garden Stuff, Kids Room Stuff, Backyard Stuff, Vintage Glamour Stuff, Bowling Night Stuff, Fitness Stuff, Toddler Stuff, Laundry Day Stuff and My First Pet Stuff.
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Get a dog, try to take it for a jog.
What happens when the bug occurs? My sim leashes the dog, and has in their queue that they are on a jog but they just stand still. Before they would stand there for a few Sim hours and then finally go for a jog but now they just dont. When they took hours but did eventually, the dog would have a seemingly sped up running animation, teleport around the area and back to my sim occasionally, and my sim would lose all weight in about 2-3 days and not build muscle and that happened to both my sims that took the dog for jogs even if I had them very excessively overeat for several days.
What do you expect to see? I expect my sim to take the dog for a jog once they have finished the leashing animation or soon after if the dog is in the middle of an animation, and for the dog to run with its legs moving at a normal running pace and not teleport around, and for my sims to not rapidly lose weight while not gaining muscle.
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? Neutral/Not Sure 

I have repaired my game but the issue persists.

    Trying to Go for Jog while your little pooch is hungry won’t cause your Sim to stand in place. Now where is that dog food?

    Fixed in Patch 1.97.42/1.73

    The patch notes give a pretty specific reason. If you have further issues, please create a new thread and provide the following info

    - Which neighborhood is this happening in (world and specific neighborhood)

    - What traits does your dog have ?

    - Is it a small or big dog ?

    - Anything else that might be important as to why it's still happening for other cases.

    I am also having this issue, in several neighborhoods including Brindleton Bay and Strangerville.  Sim will leash the dog and just stand there.  

  • @MsMisc I read an older post saying this was fixed in September, but I haven't seen much change myself. My Sims are having issues in Sulani the most but also Brindleton Bay. I haven't heard any updates though. Seems like there still isn't a solution. 🙁

    @QueenieJocelyn I'm having the same issue on my Xbox. Both in Brindleton Bay and Glimmerbrook, I haven't tested on other maps yet. Also, sometimes my Sims will start jogging and just stop in the middle of the way and stand there with the dog for many in-game hours if left unchecked.
  • Personally, I have found it's not just jogging, although that is my go-to dog walk, but there is about a 50% chance my sims dog walk/jog starts off with them both just stood in the house (I usually get impatient and reset them after an irl minute or so of this), or they get so far into the walk/jog and then just stop (again, I usually just reset and send everyone home instead). If I queue up anything for after their walk/jog whilst they are on said walk/jog, often my sim immediately gives up on the walk/jog and starts doing the queued up task, sometimes with the dog still leashed.

    I just make sure all my dogs have the independent trait now and can walk themselves without me constantly having to keep an eye on them!

    I have no mods or CC, and only a handful of packs. I only really started playing with dogs after the latest patch/installing Cottage Living, so I don't know if it was there before. Happy to supply a save file if needed!

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Click pet care, select go for a jog, go for a short walk, go for a medium walk, or go for a long walk
    What happens when the bug occurs? I try to take my dog for a jog or a walk and they’ll attach the leash but will just stand there frozen
    What do you expect to see? They are supposed to leave and go walk/jog with the dog
    Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Yes
    Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
    Please describe the patch or change you made. I installed cottage living and did the patch that came with it

    Whenever I try to walk the dog, it doesn’t matter how long, or go for a jog with the dog, the sim will attach the leash but then will freeze and just stand there. They won’t do anything else, they’ll just stand there and the dog will just hang out there as well. This started after installing cottage living and I tried turning off my custom content but the bug still happens.

    I have the same problem, I tried to go for a walk/jog in Sulani, and my Sim and their dog just stay in the house but (after a while) the sim receives the moodlet energize+1 for the good walk/jog.

    EDIT:

    I found that it happens only in the lot in Mua'Pelam, which is a separate island. So it makes sense that you can't go anywhere with the dog.

  • I also had this problem. I have a small dog and my Sims live in Henford-On-Bagely. I don't know how to fix it
