Re: Where is my Dog?
Apologies. What I said in the spoiler only applies if you're on PC/Mac and use MCCC. :-(
@Sirhc2269 @simsplayer818 Hello! I have a slight correction. Pets are only culled when they're in an unplayed household in the Other Households section and all the human sims have died. If the household with the pets is in My Households, they are protected from culling. When the last human sim in a household that is in the My Households section dies, then the pets will be automatically adopted by a random household in the game; you'll get a notification with the name of the adoptive household(s). Your active sim will retain any relationship they have with the pets. At that point, you could go to Manage Households to find the household that adopted the pets and move them into whatever household you want. Again, for this to be an option, the household must be in your My Households section.
You can move a household to My Households either by playing them or by finding them using the Manage Households / Other Households tab and using the heart icon.
Note: there is a limit on how many households you can protect in My Households which can be altered using Game Options > Gameplay > Maximum Sim Count.
