I don’t think this issue is mod related bc I can still rename my existing chickens, but my sim just hatched a chicken (it actually hatched while my sims were at work and school) and when I go to the chick the name option isn’t there. I think it has something to do with the fact that it tells me when I hover over the put in inventory option that ‘my sim doesn’t own this item.’ None of my sims ‘own’ the chicken so none of them can ate it up. How do I make the chicken mine?
@Maximum0Dinosaur Please test without mods anyway, just to make sure that's not the issue. Delete localthumbcache.package as well.
Hello,
I had this same problem too. I don't play with mods, so I know that wasn't an issue. I tried repairing the game, tried to delete localthumbcache.package, tried to leave the lot and come back, all the generic troubleshooting and nothing was working. But! I COULD put the chick in my household inventory so I did that, then I left the lot and came back. When I came back, I placed the chick from the household inventory and suddenly I could name it again. I don't know if that's a working fix or if I just got lucky, but figured I'd offer just in case. I didn't see anyone else posting about this issue.
I am having this problem too after moving lots. I tried placing the chicken in inventory and reloading but it still isn't "owned" by anyone. So frustrating!
