- OldeSimsFan7 years agoSeasoned AceNo idea on TS3. Don't remember a paper in TS2, even in buy mode, it was either outside or a mess to mop up. But then, I didn't bother with pets while in an apartment. I rember litter boxes, but not sure if puppies could use them. Would need to dig out my TS2 pets guide book.
- I think that's a bug. There are some apartments where the dogs can go out with the elevators just fine and there are others where they can't. I don't know which of the two behaviors is supposed to be a bug but I imagine it should work one way or the other.
I've been waiting for them to fix this since C&D release but no luck there :/ Wouldn't really need to add newspapers or anything like that if they could just go down on their own - jupkmn7 years agoNew AceI actually don't like pets in TS4, this thing you said is really annoying, they can take the elevators alone after they learned how to pee in proper places, but before that is really difficult on apartments. Another thing that bugs me is the fact that we cannot control them, but they count as part of the max number of sims in the house.
- Can’t dogs use litter boxes or is that a cat thing? I don’t know anything about dogs.

There is a newspaper rug in TS4 that came with Cats and Dogs. - Sharooonia7 years agoSeasoned AcePuppies and dogs are frustrating for a few reasons in the Sims 4.
1, Puppies can't use stairs meaning my sims have to constantly take them outside to pee and then back inside if the house has a foundation.
2, Dogs can only be walked one at a time meaning having more than one dog is a huge chore as it takes a long time to walk them.
3, Dogs can only be walked by one sim. I would like for more family members to be able to join on the dog walk activity.
I'm a dog person in real life but in the sims I find myself preferring cats because they're easier to take care of. - JanuaryGarnet087 years agoSeasoned AceI only play pets because of MCCC and the ability in the mod to entirely disable their needs. Especially dogs! Who bathes their dog like every three days, and it seems they need to go out every two minutes, and they get sick like once a week. It's too much. So if for some reason I can't have a mod to disable need decay for them I won't play them anymore. I have 3 dogs and 1 cat URL whom I adore, but pets in S4 get really annoying at times.
- Glad I popped in here to read. I have yet to have cats or dogs with any of my sims who live in apartments. I do have the mod in by Little Ms Sam that allows a sim to walk more than one dog at a time. Which is a life saver for my one sim family. They have three dogs, and it was getting old really fast having to walk them one by one.
Who knows, maybe if we ask nicely the can tweak some files or something and adjust how dirty they get, how often they get sick ( super annoying)m and how many pets can be walked at once.
I think there is also a mod that allows puppies and kittens to use stairs. But I'm not 100% on that. - Yeah, dogs in apartments is not a good mix unless you have a Sims who has a lot of free time and can take them out for walks to do their business frequently.

It's decorative only.
