Puppy won't go to the potty in the apartment?

Any time I had a dog and living in an apartment, they wouldn't go on their own. I always had to have my sim take their dogs outside to do their business.

When I was going through my mods I found one by LittleMsSam where they actually have a fix for pets not being able to use the elevator and they explain why pets don't use the elevator.

To read more about their mod go to the section called, Elevator Fix for Toddler & Pets (City Living, University)

Try taking the puppy into the hallway and see if he will go potty there? I haven't played with pets in an apartment so I'm unsure if this will work.

Ugh what a pain. Thanks for the info.

aww a puppy wandering the city sounds so cute. I don't think I've ever seen a pet around San Myshuno actually.

I always take my dog for a walk when living in an apartment. It seems like what you would do in real life ;)

I moved out of a great apartment into a house for this reason. I wanted to keep the dog, but was tired of taking it outside to pee. For an entity that takes up a household slot, pets don't do much, and I wanted to be out and about, not scheduling my Sim's life around pee breaks for a decorative object. So... house with yard.
