I don't know what's going on with jogging with a dog, but ever since I've been trying to get into more things with this game, certain things don't seem to work well? Like for example, I'd start going jogging with a dog, and my sim won't stop until his hygiene is completely trashed! If I cancel the jog while he's still running it'll bug out and my sim will just stand there even if I click commands for him to move or go home, I have to reset sim every time if I do this! Anyone else experiencing this?

It’s working normally in my game. Had a nice jog with the dog yesterday, it lasted about 2 hrs. I have to reset a sim once in a while but nothing to do with walking or jogging the dog.

Some neighbourhoods are problematic for taking dogs for walks or jogs. The smaller the neighbourhood, the better it usually works. Any chance your sim lives in Windenburg countryside? From my experience that is the worst.

Jogging in general doesn't seem to be working properly for me. My sims will often just reset half way though jogging.

My sims will often just reset half way though jogging. in my experience it's because they experience a powerful emotional change to one where the option "Jogging" is unavailable; for example if I start my Sims jogging it happens quite regularly that they stop half way because they become Energized, so the regular "Go Jogging" option is not possible for them, it has been replaced with "Go For An Energized Jog". If i go back in and pick that, they then do a full jog.

I had all sorts of problems when I tested Brindleton Bay just having bought the pack. I shared some saves I think, but don't remember for what bug report. There are a couple of them at AHQ, but none specifically for what seems like your issue. I found some old ones that were moved to Technical Section. If you create a new bug report please link it here so that I can Me Too on it. Try to do a repair first and check that your computer can handle the game.

It seems to be working normally for me, except that hygiene seems to be dropping more quickly than normal.

The only one truly buggy for me (that I have tried) is the Strangerville plateau. There the dog kept getting stuck in scenery then clipping thru the ground to catch up. I think it's FLAT that counts, not the SIZE. Any flat neighborhood works fine for me.

Hmmm yeah, my sim household that I'm currently playing in is in the Havisham house which is in Windenburg! Although I think I can remember playing a family with a dog in Willow Creek and they also had similar problems, I will try Willow Creek again and see if its still happening. Btw the only addon I'm using is mcc atm.

I have never had a problem with dogs getting stuck. For me the issue is mainly the length of the walks. They just wont get back in a reasonable time and the needs drop.

Every time my sims jog the dogs running animation is very sped up. It's been like that for a very long time and it annoys me.
