[Help] Pets Not Eating – Bowls Full, No Call to Eat Option

Hi everyone,

 I’ve been having an issue in The Sims 4 where my pets (both cats and dogs) won’t eat even though their food bowls are full. I’ve tried refilling the bowls, moving them to different locations, and even replacing them with new ones, but nothing seems to work.

What’s even more frustrating is that there’s no option to “Call Pet to Eat”; it just doesn’t show up at all, even when the Sim is nearby. The pets just wander around and eventually get hungry or sad due to starvation, and I have to use cheats or mods to keep them alive.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a known fix or workaround?
