my dogs have bred and there are too many puppies to manage. I put one up for the rescue and I thought that one of my other sims would be able to adopt it when I gave it up. The sim from another household went to adopt a puppy and the puppy I gave up is not there. Is this like adoption with the children? I had one child removed from the home and another family was going to adopt her but she wasn't there for adoption....I don't understand why we were able to do this in The Sims 2 but not in the Sims 4. Another thing I was wondering is if we can sell our puppies and kittens to neighbors, or if we can give them away to neighbors. I find it strange that if our pets breed we can no longer adopt away the offspring.

@fairymama47 did your pets breed on their own? cause my cats did without me telling them to... and i sold the kitten. and thats a good idea that that KHS12 gave. I agree with you though, I wush they had that option in the game cause a cat cafe or pet shelter sounds like a really good and fun idea

I guess it's a bit like when your offspring get taken away for neglect. The game just deletes them. Which is rather sad. It surely wouldn't be too difficult to add them to the adoption pool?

It was so sad Yep, they can definitely get the sad moodlet if puppies/kittens are sold rather than given up for adoption.

yes, they bred on their own, the puppies were very cute and I was hoping that when I gave one up my neighbor would be able to adopt it. The puppy just disappeared completely and to make it even sadder the owners became very sad and upset.

No I was Joking. But "The flea market to sell puppies", that simply was too tempting :smiley:

I really wish they would just build this stuff into the game without complicated workarounds. The adoption system is janky. I don't understand why we can't adopt out children and pets into already existing households like in the SIms 2.

Just move them between households in manage worlds. I am so attached to my sims pets I felt horrible if i gave one up for adoption haha. However, once a pet is put up for adoption, another one of your playable sims can adopt it. Either way, not the end of the world, the pet should not be deleted from the game unless you choose to delete it in CAS or something :)

I have a big problem. My sim had a cat but recently got pregnant so I decided to put the cat up for adoption. Since than, the cat is still in my sims house but I can't travel, go into build mode or go into CAS. Worst of all, I can't save. I don't know what to do.
