If you have Snowy Escape active the heater if you want a time out. Pets will forget all needs. They are obsessed with this thing and just sleep. This of course only help with the needy aspect.
I don’t have much issue with them. They eat, play, and use without problem the litter. Dogs are not much harder, but my dogs have mostly independent. So, they walk themself. I dislike in the beginning how pets were programmed in Sims 4 but now I find it okey, after I learned which traits I should avoid or not have more as 1 pet with these traits (loyal + affectionate)
Generally, I find the game to easy, so I am happy that the farm animals need a little more attention. I think the team programmed this right in this case.
