can't discipline pets

If you aren't opposed to mods there is a fix here https://www.deichschafblog.de/s4/mods-fuer-hunde-katzen/

(3rd one down called "scoldpetsfix")

Hi there,

Bug reports or technical issues were moved to Answers HQ. This is the reason you don't get the option to open a new thread in the Help Center. Crinrict linked up there ^ the specific thread for the issue you mention.

I'm closing this thread now. For more information, please, check this message.

What do you mean when you say she can't discipline pets? Do the options to discipline not show up, do they show up but she's unable to complete them, do the pets just not learn new behaviors based on being scolded?

You could try repairing your game in Origin. If that doesn't work, remove your mods (if you have any). If none of that works, visit the Answers HQ, which is what the bug forum here now links to (https://answers.ea.com/t5/The-Sims-4/ct-p/the-sims-4-en) to submit a bug report. Unless anyone else has any other ideas, those are your best options.

nothing showing up, no commands

also my dog has fleas and i can give a bath but that's not helping, took her to the vet and they said she's fine

I'd definitely start with repairing your game, if you haven't already. That usually fixes most minor bugs. As for the fleas, does the dog have any other symptoms? Fleas are usually associated with either being sick or with having run away from home, at least in my experience.

Hi @lizmac21

it's a known bug.

Just click me too on this thread: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/OPEN-CD-Sims-Can-t-Lecture-become-companion-for-adopted-Pets/td-p/7177058/jump-to/first-unread-message

There's some workarounds and suggestions.
