Re: [FIXED] [CD] Sims Can't Lecture/become companion for adopted Pets

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 🙂

    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! =)

    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 ☹️
