When putting your cuddly friends up for adoption you will no longer be faced with inaccessible UI.
Fixed in Patch 1.55.105
If you still face this issue with selling or neglect, please create a new thread.
Thank you.
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 expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? all
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Make a household; 1 sim and 1 pet(cat/dog). I tested with cat.
What happens when the bug occurs? [1]. Arrived pet adoption service(call "PAS" below) sim SHOULD NOT be selected from PLAYED sims. Use unplayed sim or generate new sim.(related to my other bug report) [2]. If you place a wall around neglect pet, PAS cannot pick it up. [3]. After a few hours later, PAS left the lot and the pet still attached to current household. [4]. After PAS left, you can't leave or travel the lot. [5]. After PAS arrived, when you hover a mouse to map icon or magnifier icon, the message mention about a sim, not about a pet. [6]. After PAS left, you can still keep the pet - but you can't click it anymore.
What do you expect to see? [1]. I want you not to mess up my PLAYED household. [2]. IIRC, Grim Reaper can teleport to a sim(ignore wall/lock). Why PAS can't do that? [3]. Related to 2, PAS should try to take it forcefully, removing a pet from a household control menu(botton-left bar). [4]. If PAS left the lot, this means PAS abandoned the job, so the player should be able to travel anywhere he/she wants. [5]. These message is misleading. Changing it to "You cannot do this while a pet is taken away!" or something is a good idea. [6]. Just remove it. Period. Related to 2. screenshot; https://share.riseup.net/#A0nECvjQrsjqgjP6ialUAg
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? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made.
Instead of taken away by buggy PAS sim, you could use a death code(Elder pet's death).
"Death by starvation" is the appropriate answer of this.
Why spawn a PAS? Who called it? (there's no neighbor in this area)
It just doesn't make sense.
For reference, you can keep this poor pet indefinitely by placing a inaccessible wall around it.
I've challenged this scenario just want to know how this EP created. And absolutely... pet neglect is not cool; don't do this in IRL, folks :-)
Hey @crinrict , why did you merged my bug here? Did you read this?
Mine is NOT an adoption-related bug.
I changed the title. It's all those pet situations. (adoption, selling, neglect)
And your is a bit unique anyways cause you tried to trick the game by doing wall thing.
Your other issue already has a thread by you and doesn't need a second one.
Ok I read these posts and some of them have similarity.
I also tried adoption last week; new pet always run away before adoption(buying new one) when the agent place down the cage, etc.
Too many bugs. Clearly they didn't test their product.
Maxis should make "The Sims 4: Insects and Bugs" EP next time lol
