I feel like I rarely see animals outside of Brindleton Bay. I had my runaway teen who wasn't allowed to talk to adults travel there during school hours so she would have pets to socialize with, and there the strays mostly stay outside.
This is because unfortunately animals don't appear walking in public areas of other worlds, only in Brindleton Bay. You'll never see, for example, a sim with your dog taking a walk through the public areas of Willow Creek, Oasis Springs and other worlds.
Animals are set to go inside lots of other worlds, but walking freely in public areas is something that happens only in Bridleton Bay. It's sad.
This is the laziness of configuring the animals to appear in each of the districts of each worlds of the game.
Wow, that's even worse than I thought. What a louzy EP.
And in TS1 and TS2 not sure about TS3 there was a no pets allowed sign we could put on a lot. Why is that not a thing here?
Each The Sims 4 district has its own configuration related to the hours that pedestrians will appear, walk and stay in public areas. At Willow Creek, for example, there are pre-configured times for even pedestrian Sims to spend a little time fishing, usually in the morning.
Producers need to individually set up each district so that a certain amount of animals can appear correctly. Unfortunately, even with the release of Cats and Dogs, producers have not added any kind of code that allows animals to appear in other districts. Such configurations were only created in Brindleton Bay.
Lots work differently from public areas. So yes, you may see animals popping up inside the lots of other neighborhoods, or popping up quickly in the public area for the purpose of heading to the active lot, but you will never see animals with the intention of walking and staying in public areas.
