Re: [ARCHIVED] [PS4/XB1] [CD] Can't enter dog breed name

Hi,

I have the Pets expansion pack on XBox one and have successfully had my two dogs (different breeds) have a puppy.

However, when I went in to edit my Sim's clothes I couldn't save any changes and the screen jumped to the new dog with a message saying something like all fields must be completed. When I open up the name and personality traits of dog in that page the beed name is black but highlighted in red with an exclamation mark. I can't, however edit this at all. I have tried clicking on dog's body and then back but nothing.

I moved her out of the house and things went back to normal for the first household and I could edit them. The second household then had the same issues until I had to have her adopted.

Any ideas? I couldn't find anything anywhere about this issue.

    @Curlyzone That is a peculiar issue. Does it persist after shutting down your console? 

    Powering Down your console completely (not rest mode). XB1

    Unplug the console and let it sit for 2 minutes. Plug the console back in and restart the game.

  • I just had the same issue with the PS4 version. Was this resolved? Did this happen again? I would hate to get rid of the dog...

    @Player_ah7c2nkb The OP never came back and said one way or another so I have no idea if this was resolved. You can also try shutting down your PS4 completely. 

    Press and hold the power button on the front until the console beeps twice, the power bar darkens and then the system is turned off. Let it sit for 2 minutes and then power it back on.

    Did this happen from manage worlds/manage households or did this happen from using a dresser or mirror in game to "change sim" or "plan outfits" interactions?

    Was the dog in your game also a puppy?

    I'm having this issue currently and it happens both when I use a mirror to "change sim" and when I edit the household through "manage households". No changes can be saved to any Sims in the household because it wants you to enter a breed name but the box never generates a keyboard to allow you to type.

  • Just figured out a workaround. If you go through Manage Households and edit the breed, there's a breed mixer that allows you to input the parents breeds and play with genetics. I was able to recreate thetthe physical attributes of the two kittens I had in game without changing their traits. This allowed "mixed breed" to generate as the breed name and I was able to edit the Sims in the household without a problem. Hope this helps someone!! 

  • I followed the steps accept i just randomized the clothes on the pet instead and it worked!! Thank you so much! Was frustrated I kept running into this issue and they wont fix it but glad I know a workaround now 🙂

  • When I clicked on randomize for the pet, it finally allowed me to save all the changes for all sims and pets. I'm on Xbox One.
