@w_Whoa, well, as you guessed it, having the lot traits include the traits for cats and dogs to hang out will cause this to happen, but I have no idea why just the dogs only show up at night and not during the day?!?🤔 I'll have to test it and see if I get the same in my game. 🙂

@w_Whoa, sorry about your experience in the past! ☹️ Sometimes no one knows the answer and just assumes someone else does, and other times a question might get pushed to the bottom of the page (or on the next page!) when there are a lot of people posting on the same day. And sometimes the person who would know the answer isn't able to come on the forums for a time because of school, work, illness, or other real life issues!
As for getting rude replies, unfortunately that does happen sometimes. 😞 If the person who posted in a rude manner you can always report them, or talk to EA_Mai. Since this forum exists to help people, everyone should try to be nice! (Also, sometimes there are people who want to help, but they might have a blunt manner that can appear rude, even though they really care. )
Anyway, I will test to see if I can reproduce the same issue with the "nightly gang of dogs" in my game. I hope to get back to you by some time next week (maybe sooner)! 😉

@w_Whoa, I did a test house with the traits for attracting both cats and dogs. Both seem to come at all times of the day and night. I'm not getting only dogs at night that come in a large group. Instead i'm getting large groups of both! 😃:eahigh_file:
Therefore, do you get the same result in another household with these lot traits? 🤔 If you don't, then perhaps you can "reset" your current house by having them visit another lot (either a friend, or a restaurant, or visit a festival in San Myshuno , etc.) and then return home to see if anything has changed. 😇 If that doesn't work you can try moving them out of their house and then move back in. (Or you can just try moving them permanently to a new house). You can also test another house in a different Save to see if you get different results. The only other thing I can think of is if you have any Custom Content (CC) or Mods in your game that might need to be updated or removed -- but you might not even play with these. 🤨 So, I would try the above and see if that makes any difference in your game! 🙂
Please update us on what you find! 🙂 And I will still be on the lookout for any more strange behavior dealing with this issue in my game. The only odd thing I've found so far is that all of my stray dogs in all of my Save Games are all large dogs! 🤭 I'm going to have to visit the lighthouse island with all the strays to see if I can find any small stray dogs!
