dogs in apartments

It is a bit tricky. It would have been handy to have like puppy training mats where the dogs could relieve themselves without making too much mess. The only work around I found was to take the dog for a walk every day (or night in the case of my vampire...) and instruct the dog to do their business while downstairs. Being responsible pet owners, my city dwelling Sims immediately clean up.

I almost felt like the patio should count as "outside" but the Sim dogs don't behave that way..
