Missing Dog

I think I'll just make them a new dog at this point. And also make a new save. :D

Yeah, if you don't care that much, that's what I'd do too. :D At least you aren't too upset by it. :smiley:

lol I actually was, but I just had to remind myself that this is just a game. :D I think I would be more upset if the family actually reacted to the dog being gone.

No, he wasn't even half way through his adult life yet.

I am sorry that your dog has gone missing :(
Try recovering an earlier version of your current save game to play, and see if the dog is there. To do that , go to the main screen of sims 4, and click on the " load game " button.Click on your save game file picture. Then click on the " recover game " button down the right hand side bottom of the screen,. Press on an earlier version of the save game from the menu that pops up. Then load that save game version

I play multiple families, and I should really save them individually, but I haven't. Would I still be able to go back to a previous save?

You can still go back to an earlier save if you play multiple families in the save. It will be earlier stage in the save game though, so you will be missing some of the game progress that you had since that time.

Ah, okay. Well I have a lot that I would end up having to do over again. So I think this time around I'm just going to make a new dog for their family.

Is your family with the dog still saved in your library? Maybe you can merge the dog from the library with the family in the world, so they'll have the same dog again?

They are saved in my library but way before I added the pets. Even before they had two other children. lol

This is why I always back up pets I'd like to keep around in my Library just in case things like this happen!

I do have an update. Apparently the dog died. :/ He was no where to aging to an elder when I left their house, and I was only gone for seven to eight sim days. I found his urn in the living room. Guess now I need to look for an age adjuster for pets. lol

The vet sells age up and age down treats if you play with aging on. I play with aging off, but you might want to look at your settings and set it to age active family only. That way it wouldn't happen again.
