Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? DeutschHow often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)What is your current game version number? 1.99.264.1030What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? AllSteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Got the plot challenge "Off the grid" and try to adopt/rescue a horse on a computerWhat happens when the bug occurs? I can't adopt/rescue horses at the "off the grid" plot challengeWhat do you expect to see? That you can rescue/adopt horses even if you have Off the Grid as a plot challengeHave 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 feel this is a bug because you can also adopt sims, dogs and cats with off the grid. It has no sense! Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted title

@T0RN_x Thanks for the info :D It should def work the same way as C&D

@T0RN_x Bit unsure why you added Eco so I removed it. Off-Grid is base game. If you added it for another reason, let me know :DHow have you tried to the phone or other means ? Do you not have the option or does it failC&D does have a similar issue with Adaption off grid: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CD-Off-Grid-Living-Can-t-adopt-pet-from-phone/m-p/9180749#M140977

@crinrict I have added ECO because I can generate electricity from the wind turbines and solar panels and use the computer with it. Also on the sleeping place of the horse I can not save/adopt a horse. On the cell phone it goes, however I think one should, if one Storm has (By Eco, as far as I know) also over it horses rescue/adopt can. I also have some pictures here, but unfortunately it's in German, only you understand German xD

@T0RN_x Ah ok. I see your point (about Eco)Can you adopt them through the equestrian center ?I'm going to linke the cats & dogs bug for ref: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CD-Off-Grid-Living-Can-t-adopt-pet-from-phone/m-p/9180749#M140977 although it's basically the other way round. Think there were some other threads that were fixed as well. Can you buy goats/sheep ?

@crinrictCan you adopt them through the equestrian center? Yes, I can! However, without the equestrian center, that would also be good to be able to rescue/adopt horses with abseitees of the network anyway ^^Can you buy goats/sheep? Yes, i can! ^^

I have a similar problem, when I use the phone > rescue a #horse or buy one via phone it does not work and my sims were living on an off-the-grid lot which should not affect whether we can own a horse! 😞

@Genuia Do you have mods or CC in your Mods folder? If so, do a "vanilla" test to see if a mod/CC is your problem: Drag the Mods folder to the desktop, delete the file called localthumbcache, open the game to test, and exit without saving.

Is your sim, by any chance, living on a residential rental property? If so, horses might not be allowed.

@luthienrising no I haven't been playing with mods due to being busy with work, never had an issue before not sure if it has to do with the latest patch?
