Pet Adoption Doesn't Work
So I had my Sim use the phone to adopt a pet. I picked the one I wanted and nothing happened....

I too had a problem with this but.. I'm not sure if it was self inflicted. Yesterday at a different lot I successfully adopted a pet via the computer.
Today I tried to adopt a pet via my phone - and the guy turned up without a pet. I just logged back to main menu and reloaded the game and the puppy was there on the grass but as soon as i adopted it .. it disappeared. So I ended up here.. and read the post about unlocking the door. I unlocked the door. The man ran into the house and produced a pet carrier great I thought! That was it! .. Only .. there was no pet.. Then he produced another Carrier.. but still no pet appeared. I tried to delete the pet carrier - can't do that. So I tried deleting the adoption guy (via MCC Command Centre ((which I know isn't causing a problem because I have been using it from day 1)). He disappeared but the pet carriers stayed. So I tried evicting my Sim... came back to same lot but still two carriers there. Seemed caught in a perpetual adoption event that I couldn't end.
I tried evicting again - same thing two carriers there. So I tried bulldozing the lot (good job it was a new house with hardly anything in it!). The house disappeared but left one carrier suspended in mid air. Now I had a lot in the new world with a pet carrier permanently stamped on it! I could see it just hanging around there in mid air on manage worlds. So I moved my Sim off the lot - went back in and rebuldozed the lot .. Viola! the pet carrier disappeared. I've just moved him back onto the lot to see what happens so i'll take it from there.
It did strike me though that the guy has to unload the pet in the house not in the garden - so make sure door is unlocked before you adopt!
