Stop Other Households From Adopting Strays

While playing Sims 4, I tried adopting a couple strays. When I interacted with them for a bit, I tried adopting them but they were no longer strays. I searched for help, and realized other households autonomously adopt those strays. So, is there a way to disable other households from doing that?

  • I don't have any specific cats & dogs cc/mods, as I mostly use them for my sim. 

    I went on manage households to check if the strays were adopted, and I did see them in a few households.

    But I did read the article about fixing it, I'll be sure to try it out (:

    @PetSimmers Do you use MCCC ? If so, check the options to turn off adoption strays there.

  • I do have MCCC, but when I disabled it on the population settings, I could no longer see if dogs were strays or not (I couldn't see their names aswell), although I could still see if cats were strays or not as usual.

  • Nevermind, I just had to restart my game after disabling stray adoption in MCCC.

    Thank you so much 🙌

    For a mod-free solution you could also enable testingcheats  and then (Shift + Click) on the pet and select Add to Family.
