Animals gone from Brindelton Bay?

I have adopted pets using the phone or computer, can't remember which. I don't usually travel to BB so can't say if animals are scarce.

I still see them, and they're all sick.

I don't have any either, I sent my Sim there yesterday to attempt to adopt a stray pet and spent hours there and saw nothing! I have ageing turned off on my game play so it shouldn't be a case of them all dying off.

Is it just my game, or have the animals disappeared? Yesterday I spent several sim hours in B Bay in several places, and the only dog seen was with its owner by the beach. The only other living beings were a few sims and the ever present seagulls. Come to think of it, sims are sparse, too.

To be safe if I were you I'd report it to the ea bug site

I see a lot of them. Mostly cats. Several being pets from non-played households that somehow end up as strays ?

I noticed that if the Sim is "Not in World", his/her pet will appear as a stray, even though they're considered a household.

I never seem to have households generated with pets (but that could be my MCCC settings). However, I have plenty of strays in BB. Maybe try repairing your game?

You're not the only one, I came here because of the same issue. I haven't seen a stray pet in any world I've visited and I've only found sims walking their dogs in BB. Has anything changed for you?

Nope. Viewing it as one more example of stuff for TS4 being like a Florida swamp - full of bugs.

I've always been curious why something like this would effect one player and not another. I also see a lot of players with the pet queue problem but I've not run into that.

Has the lack of strays been reported and game files uploaded because nothing will be done if the developers aren't aware of the bug.

What's the temperature? I seem to remember a guru saying strays will recede during very cold weather.
