Does this happen for all neighborhoods for you guys ?
Haven't tested everywhere but the Sim I've experienced it with lives in Newcrest
- Just tried it in Willow Creek with a brand new save file and it's just the same, adopted a dog and waited for them to misbehave and couldn't tell them off or become companions when I became max friendship with them. Hope this helps.

Thanks for testing.
Also some information maybe worth considering;
My sim adopted through the computer a cat, and on the street I shift-clicked adopted a dog and I can't lecture either of them. I moved my household with (
famous) Johnny Zest to see if I could train them by mysteriously switching houses, but still couldn't. Then I played as Johnny, and he can lecture them! Seems like only MY sim can't lecture them.Some more information: I'm using MC Command center and some CAS CC (and other misc mods), but it doesn't seem to be the cause of the problem since I temporarily removed all my mods and tried again and it still wouldn't work.
Thanks all for trying to figure this out :-)
- Yeah, the only workaround I've come across for this is that if you move a dog or cat into a household instead of adopting it through the service, you can do all the actions. Some may consider this cheating as you don't have to pay the 200 simoleans this way but at least you can tell your dog to stop drinking from the toilet!
Hope this helps someone 🙂 - crinrict7 years agoHero+

That's an older issue though and has been in the game since pets came out
Here's the thread for that: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TOADD-CD-Can-t-lecture-train-pets-that-were-moved-from-one/td-p/6414298/jump-to/first-unread-message
@crinrictOh sorry! I forgot to mention that I didn't have any of those issues before Get Famous came out, so I wasn't sure which of the two threads was the right one.
Edit: I should also add that I'm having the issue no matter what type of adoption I try (phone, computer). Mmmm.

I know the problem I described on page 1 is a slightly different problem (I am posting to that original thread - though that seems to be an older issue).
I can say that I haven't run into any issue with lecturing pets before this patch (whether it be lecturing pets in a merged household, or lecturing pets that have been adopted through the service).
However, I can agree that I am also seeing the issue with being unable to lecture adopted pets. The only pets I am able to lecture are ones that were created in CAS with the original family.
Thanks all, for being a supportive community! =)
Has anyone noticed a difference after yesterday's update? Not for me.....
- crinrict7 years agoHero+This wasn't fixed.
Me too...since Get Famous I have not been able to train misbehaviors from my pets...the options just don't exist so they create constant chaos now.

I bought just the cats and dogs pack a couple days ago (I already have the: cool kitchen stuff, get to work, vampires, spooky stuff, and holiday celebration packs) and made a character + cat in CAS and then tried playing the game and only had the "scold" option, not the "lecture for x" option, I adopted a pet from the streets and one from the computer and neither of them had the option either, I tried a "repair game" option a different thread suggested doing and it didn't work, I completely uninstalled the game on my PC and am currently reinstalling it to see if that fixes it but I still can't find any real workaround or fix from other threads talking about it and I have no mods as I don't even know how to do that.

Update: still no "lecture" option when the cat jumped on the counter after having deleted all my save files, uninstalled the game, restarted computer and re-installed the game + packs
- crinrict7 years agoHero+As there are so many reports on this, I don't think any troubleshooting will help.
It's a bug. - cheekyimp7 years agoRising HotshotI don't know if its related to this bug but I've had this exact same thing, can't lecture my cats, but only in one house and I used the manage households screen to move these cats in from another house (you know how it goes, cat has kittens, kittens need new homes, farm them out to other families) but not having any issues with other cats, and this has been this way since cats and dogs came out (was very early on)
I can’t lecture my dogs or cats when I make them in CAS!!
- you mean add one to household from CAS? Haven't tried that yet, just got Cats & Dogs last week, started playing existing household with a pet in house to check it out, they of course could correct & lecture and option for companionship, so made my own sim, bought lot, built house, adopted first dog through computer, 2nd as a stay, can't correct or lecture either. Haven't tried adding another from CAS though, will give that a try, but very frustrating ☹️
