@crinrictBy the way, do you know how to retrieve a pet that has been taken away due to hunger?

Hello @HayesKerr 
That is a bit off topic for this thread but I will answer {smile}

The short answer is any Sim or Pet removed by social worker or animal control is gone from the game forever.
The only way to get them back is to go to an older version of the save from before they were taken.

Hi1 Is it possible to get it back from adoption page? 

@HayesKerrI don't know why I did not think of this yesterday but there is a much easier way than using testingcheats. Something you can try first is adding a pet through Manage Households.
1) Go into Manage Worlds from the button at the top right of your screen and then select Manage Households
2) In Manage Households find your household and select it
3) For your household select the Edit, add, or remove Sims from the household in Create a Sims button in the lower right (the icon looks like a pencil)
4) From there click on the Add a Sim button in the lower left corner. With this you can add a new pet to your household just like as if you were starting a new game. You can make the pet look any way you like, choose traits, age, gender, give it a name, etc. When you are done, just to back to live play and the pet will be part of your household.

If you've already adopted a new pet you'd like to change to look like your old pet, we can still do that with the testingcheats. Let me know if you still want more information on testingcheats and CAS, ok?

@RandomBuzzinessThat’s a much easier way , thanks . I do nor know why I didn’t think of this too
