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...

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

@PetSimmers Are you using mods/cc in your game ? Do they actually show in the other households ? Don't think NPC households should adopt the strays unless you have a mod that does it.

There's this bug that explain the no longer being strays: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-TEST-CD-Stray-pets-are-not-labled-as-strays-when-invited-to/td-p/6520682/

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 (:

    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.
