Sims 4, is there a way to add a pet after you've made a household?

I made my Sims and I don't really want to have to remake them, but I didn't realize that you had to make a pet at the same time as the SIM, so the one I made afterward can't be put in the household. Is there a way to put the pet in the established household? Thanks.

  • @malachi2223 yes you can either adopt a pet from the computer or use cheats 

    Pc pres crtl shift c and enter testingcheats true then enter cas.fulleditmode then shift click on your sim then press modify in cas 

    Ps4\xbox hold all four shoulder buttons enter testingcheats true enter cas.fulleit mode then press L1 X on your sim select modify in cas but be warned entering cheats on console will disable achievements.

  • You can also use manage households. Adopting from the computer will give you a randomly generated pet, and using a cheat to go to full CAS edit will allow you to create a new pet, but if you have one you already made, it's probably in its own "household" separate from your original one. Go to Manage Worlds, then Manage Households, then move your pet in with your Sim

  • I think I've done it in CAS, by editing the household.  If that's not working for you, try it with cheats and cas.fulleditmode on, try to import and merge.

    (I usually edit the household and create the pet there, or use the "adopt" feature, or adopt strays.)

    Yeah if you start in the Manage Worlds screen then go into the household manager, you can edit your household and add a pet without the cheat. Still need the cheat to edit a pet's attributes after the fact.
