Like idk but I almost feel like the short walks have become even longer xD if a short walk with your pet takes like 2+ hours, how long is a medium walk? 10? And long?I really wish they would route shorter paths for these walks, like short = 30 minute, medium = 1.5 hours and long = 3 hours

I haven't for a while, but sometimes I've found them helpful if I've had a lot going on in one household, and just need to get a Sim out of the way for a while (there are other ways of doing this too, of course, but if there's a dog in the house, why not?)

Same as @Ellupelluellu. I'll use medium and long when I want to get a sim and the dog out of the house.

I have no clue why I read that as walls. :D I stick to short.. or use a mod (LittleMsSam)I've always felt pet walks are wayyyy too long for both the dog and the sim. Needs are so depleted by the time they finally return home.Spoiler (Highlight to read)I even had an elder dog expire on a walk because it took so long. The game wasn't sure what to do and both sims froze. Resetting wasn't working so I took the risk, saved, and restarted. Suddenly there's an urn on the sidewalk miles from home and everyone is mourning.I even had an elder dog expire on a walk because it took so long. The game wasn't sure what to do and both sims froze.

Does anyone actually use medium / long walks?

I think I used the medium walk once recently, but I don't usually, and I haven't used the long walk for a really long time.

Not me either. Short walks are plenty long enough.

Absolutely not. The length of the walks is my main gripe with C&D and the reason why I don't want to have dogs often. In some neighbourhoods the short walk simply takes too long, both sim and the dog being nearly dead by the end of it. I truly wish the devs would recalculate the routes.

I never use other than short walks unless the neighborhood is really small because my Sims usually give up walking and either fall asleep on the road far away from home or have a bladder failure.
