The dogs have always been needy in the game, but since seasons happens, my sims can't get through a meal without petting the dog five times. Need to go to the toilet, little sim? Don't forget to pet the dog right after! Is this happening to anyone else?

Yeah. My sims have one dog and she keeps spamming up their que every once in a while. I didn't notice this happening before seasons.

I haven't heard back from anyone yet as to whether or not this cheat helps with this problem, but seems worth a try.From Crinrict's Sims 4 Help Blog:This cheat removes all moodlets the animal currently has.Warning! Don’t use this when your dog is pregnant.Open the cheat console with ctl-shift-cType testingcheats onType sims.get_sim_id_by_name , to get the ID of the petWrite down the ID. It’s a long one.Type sims.remove_all_buffs (ID is the number you wrote down)Close the console with ctl-shift-c Edited to add: wait a minute, didn't I recently read that the buff cheats (add or remove) have been taken away? Apologies, then; this won't work if the cheat's no longer available to us. Worth noting in the feedback thread about the cheat-nerf that players won't be able to get interim workarounds on bugs like this when they've removed the cheat.

Seen that in Urbansims let's pay doggo just filled up a bunch of queues,, which is crazy cause we can only have so many queue's lined up.My dog has been a bi tmore needy but not to that extent yet. I kinda start thinking they're just...'PET ME PET ME PET ME PET ME PET ME PET ME PET ME PET ME!!!!'

Have your pets been extra needy since Seasons?

Yep also happening for me. It was so crazy I ended up giving the dog up for adoption. My sims couldnt do anything without my whole left side of the screen being filled with pet the dog

This has happened to me several times, too. :( I have to edit the household in manage households and remove the dog... It's like... non-stop attention decay.

Yes! They are so annoying recently! I gave up my one dog for adoption as well because of it. I hope there is a fix for it.

Yes, and it's driving me up the plum wall!

They always seem to need attention when my sim is eating, specifically, when my sim's hunger bar is deep red and they've just taken the 1st bite of food. Sometimes it'll add about 20 interactions to my sim's action queue, and don't think that giving the pet attention right before having dinner will solve the problem; it doesn't.

Which guru should I tag? is it Nick? I'm not on twitter so I kinda need to tag them here.

I'm not noticing any increase. With a full house I'm having to make an effort to not neglect the dog. :) I'm only on Day 5 of spring, my first season, so maybe it will show up as I progress through other seasons.

Forcefully needy. A dozen for more petting interaction will queue up and if I'm really lucky it won't cancel my sims current action. Forget having multiple pets. I've gotten rid of all the pets in my households because it was making my game so frustrating.

Yup. This is my game. Constantly. UGH.
