Re: [FIXED] [CL] [CD] Dogs can't use elevators

My adult dog can no longer use elevator since the November 2019 update. The thought bubble with footprints an a X pops up whenever she's asked to go potty now. Even if I take my sim down the elevator then call my dog the thought bubble comes up. My dog now pees/poops in the apartment because she can't go out anymore. I have to leash her then go downstairs then encourage to potty.

I don't recall having this issue until the most recent update

    @dd03979 this has been an issue for a while now.

    I merged your post with the bug report.

    Which apartment is your Sim living in ?

    @dd03979 Can you try for testing if it works anywhere else ? So far it has only been the financial district I think.

    I'm not sure what's considered the financial district. The arts quarter is where the penthouse is located.

    Wouldn't the financial district be uptown? If so, then by what you're saying I shouldn't be having this issue because my penthouse is in the arts quarter, correct?

    @dd03979 It used to be uptown only but maybe it's all of them now. I wasn't able to duplicate it on others though but maybe it depends how long you play a save.
  • To add to strangeness: my sims have two dogs, a big dog and a small dog. The big dog runs outside on its own and never asks to go to potty, just zooms out, does its thing, zooms back up. The small dog cannot do this. The small dog has to be either leashed and walked out, or pick up carried down to do its business. I've even tried cheat-changing the small dog's traits, just in case it's tied to that, but seems to be just the size. Or the fact that the big dog moved into the apartment together with the sim originally, and the small dog was added later with manage households function.

    They live in 18 Culpepper in Spice District. In the same building there's another played sim with a big dog, and that big dog also could go to potty on her own, which made me think that the bug had been fixed. Until I added the small dog to the current family.

    @Lumiasta Maybe small dogs work more like toddlers while big dogs work like Sims. Toddlers also seem to have the issue.

    Thanks for the extra info
  • My two small dogs have the same issue. They won't go down unless they are leashed. In the beginning they would go potty on the balcony but after a while they wouldn't do that anymore. I see no other option than moving out because having to walk them everytime doesn't work. 

    Is there a mod to make that paper rug or the kitty box work for small dogs?
