Pet Adoption Doesn't Work

I too, had an issue with adoption, until I figured out that I needed to click on the pet and agree to adopt it.

He didn't bring the pet with him and he wouldn't go away even after I reset him with a cheat. I tried restarting the game, tried it with a different household etc and nothing. I have no mods on my game or anything like that so I know that's not the reason. In the end I just had to make a pet in create a sim. -_-

Did you patch your game this month there are 2 both had some fixes and script additions to this EP

Just wanted to give a heads up-I think I just managed to fix this in my game. I had the same issue described above (adoption agent arrived with no animal or crate and just stood outside the house), along with my Sims not even being able to hire a service or being able to eat.

After some googling, I found a post on EA's help site saying that apparently all 2 and 3 seat CC couches are broken. I removed all of them, and the same family was able to adopt (as well as eat) without a problem. I know that previous posts had said they didn't have any mods, but if you have any CC sofas or loveseats try removing them and see if it helps.

I had the same problem, the adoption agent came and set down the carrier but with no dogs appearing. I then searched through the entire house and discovered that the dogs were in my basement (first floor actually, but I only use the second floor for living) which didn't have doors or lights so I couldn't even see them in the dark if it wasn't for the windows. So I had to place a door and lights to get through them and then adopt.
Maybe some of you had the same problem, that the pets actually appeared somewhere else in the house.

Hello, old thread but for anyone wondering still; Unlock your door. :disappointed:

It's been almost two days

Yes, that is exactly what happened. So I went to a different household and didn't have any trouble adopting a pet. Then I just transferred the dog to the other household. What a pain

When the agent shows up with the animal, you have to actually click on the animal and select adopt. Seems silly to me. Is there no way to create-a-pet?

All animals just turned up together, long after the adoption agent left

I don't have any mods but I did have a teenager use the adopt option. Maybe that had something to do with it, I'm not sure. But the only way for me to get a pet was to transfer from another household.
