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

Okay, this took a lot of trial and error, but to fix this, after you adopt the pet, go to cas and save the household. After that make a household with just the dog/cat (that you can’t lecture) and save that household. Go back to the household you were playing as and re-add the pet to the family and boom, you can lecture them. I hope this helps! 


This is both a thank you to @briebae2003 (thank you!) and hopefully will help people who might have missed this back on page three.  I had the glitch today with an adopted stray dog, in a household made up of one teen sim.  This workaround successfully restored the Lecture option under the Friendly menu.

    How is this done? I don't get this at all.. How do you make a household with just pets? It doesn't work. And don't you have to build the relationship all over again?

    When you are in your game, go to options and click manage worlds. At the top right, click manage households. Click on your household and click edit in cas. Delete everyone except the pet you are trying to fix. At the top right, click save household. Then click CANCEL at the bottom right. Go into cas with your family again, but this time delete the pet. Click the check mark at the bottom right. Then go to the gallery and to your library. Click on the household of just the pet. Click place household and move it in with your family. This will add 20,000 simoleons and if that bothers you, type in the cheat bar "money" and then a space and then the amount of money that you want your sims to have.

    Thank you for that specific description, I totally wasn't entering CAS the right way so wasn't getting the option to remove my Sim from the household. Now my issue is fixed!

    For the Gurus though ... I really hope an actual fix for this is coming. Pretty please? This is a lot of work just to fix something pretty significant.

    I think this is the bug I'm having as well. I don't have the interactions for become companions, lecture for x, be nice to, or encourage to mate with for the two dogs I adopted in a save created after the get famous patch. Saves created before the get famous patch seem to be unaffected by this in my game. I've tested thoroughly and it cannot be fixed by disabling mods, repairing game or creating a new save. This a very annoying bug and I think we would all appreciate a fix soon as it ruins the experience with pets in the household.
