Product: The Sims 4Platform:PCWhich language are you playing the game in? EnglishHow often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)What is your current game version number? 1.51.77.1020What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? Sims Deluxe Pack, Seasons, Cats and dog, HoildaySteps: How can we find the bug ourselves? click any pet and select "Pet"What happens when the bug occurs? sims either do nothing or the model breaks downWhat do you expect to see? horrible shaped model Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Never used.Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Neutral/Not Sure This creepy is giving me nightmares please fix it

If I remember correctly, the pet interaction yeah (these have happened during a long period of time). Sometimes my sims also do this autonomously but I think they usually go for the pet interaction.

I have an ongoing game glitch where my Sims have distorted arms and hands when interacting with pets using the "hug" or "pamper on couch" interactions. It happens 100% of the time with these interactions and started about 3 updates ago. I have tried these interactions in different saved games with different Sims - it persists. I don't use any mods or CC in my game. I have also repaired the game but it did not fix the issue.

i've got a bug where my sim goes to pick up/hug/pet the cat and it bugs like she's not holding it and they aren't touching skin to fur when snuggling it just started happening i've repaired/updated my game through Origin but nothing it's bugging me

This has been happening to me also for a long time. Dogs randomly become demons, it's so creepy, I'm surprised I haven't seen a topic about it before this.But also this that petting them often just glitches. I don't have any mods, it happens very randomly and while petting both cats and dogs.

Does this happen to any kind of dog ? What age is that Sim ? Does it happen to any age ?

Hm

I just tested this with two different dogs in my vet clinic and see no distortion. It also wasn't reported by anyone else.

Could you try repairing your game by right clicking on the game in Origin and hit repair game and also delete the localthumbcache file in your doc folder.

I think this distorted petting and hugging (also with other sims/toddlers) happens occasionally if the game has routing problems with the two sims involved. In my game it happens frequently when parents and toddlers start the long "play" animation.

@Werkea

are you using the original clinic or your own ? Could it be routing issue at as @alanmichael1 points out ?

Also again my question from above: What age groups ?

@Hjeromin The interaction is a bit bugged when it comes to the animation.

I merged with the current thread although it now looks a bit different.

Maybe you could add a picture how it looks for you.
