    Also chiming in to add: 

    I had a sim with a pre-created dog from CAS who could lecture his dog fine for misbehaving. However, when he moved a roommate in, the roommate was unable to lecture the pet. Roommate, pet, and original sim were all friends .

    This happened after the most recent update and has continued after installing Get Famous .

    This sounds more like this older issue: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CD-Can-t-lecture-train-pets/m-p/6414298

  • Has anyone noticed also that they can't become companions with their pets either now? Or just me?

    Same thing here and it's frustrating.

    I hope they'll find a quick fix.

    Someone else mentioned this and I forgot to mention it when I posted - there is no 'become companions" option anymore with the cat my sim adopted either.

  • Me too. I also noticed that the children can lecture the animals, but the adults cannot.

    Yes! I've gotten my relationship all the way up and the option to become a companion isn't showing up. I also am having the issue of being unable to lecture. Ugh. Which is a bummer because I just bought the Pets expansion. How do we get this fixed??

    Yes!!! My sim can’t lecture or become companions with her pets but it was actually working for quite a while. I have one out of four of the train out misbehaviors and one out of two of the become companions aspiration. It stopped working all of this sudden. All of the other sims in my household that don’t have this apiration have been able to lecture my pets (but not become companions) this far. I tried making a new save and resetting and debugging both my sim and the pet multiple times. I took out all of my custom content... nothing seems to work

    I can't lecture pets and also can't become companions wit them. Only one of my adults in my household has this problem (but she has the ''Friend of the Animals" aspiration which is annoying

    Adopted pets still can't be lectured as of 21/1/2019, tried it earlier today in hopes that it worked. Have every expansion minus get to work, get famous and get together. Do have cc but I've removed them multiple times and makes no difference.

    Wow I had not even realized it that I was missing interactions. No wonder I could not scold them properly, I thought scolding upon them doing an action was the way to do it.

    On the bright side the workaround of saving the pets alone to the gallery and then merging them back to your household works. Eaxis will never cease to amaze with their skills for breaking previous packs with new patches or packs. This is something that should have been fixed within a month but nope.

    Yes this happened with me. Pretty annoying as far as bugs go.
  • Same problem for me.  I created a household with a young adult and a dog.  She could lecture and become companions with the dog.

    She adopted a cat and could not lecture him or become companions.

    I added another young adult to the household via the "ask to move in" interaction.  He is able to lecture the cat.  I haven't gotten his relationship high enough to know whether he can become companions with the cat or the dog, and the dog hasn't misbehaved since he moved in, so I don't know if he can lecture the dog.

    Interestingly, when the dog died, the woman (original sim) got the "Bark No More (From Witnessing Death of Friend" moodlet (sad +5, 24 hrs), while the man (moved into household) got the "Mourning (From Witnessing Death of Loved One)" moodlet (sad +5, 2 days).  The woman was companions with the dog and had maxed out their relationship, while the man was friends with the dog (relationship about halfway).

    In summary:

    ORIG SIM

    Dog (orig): lecture [YES], companions [YES]

    Cat (adopted): lecture [NO], companions [NO]

    MOVED-IN SIM

    Dog (orig): lecture [UNKNOWN], companions [UNKNOWN]

    Cat (adopted): lecture [YES], companions [UNKNOWN]
