Strays in my house!!

I had only JUST moved in. I got my furniture all set up and then I went to play with my Sim in Live Mode and there was already two dogs in the house. They slept on the couch and barked at each other. So I finally kicked them out and locked the doors but now they stand at the door wanting to come in. So frustrating that I have to lock my doors...

WOW! I finally get them out and lock the doors and all fence entrances, then the little buggers cut through the bushes and are now running amok in my backyard. I have never been so annoyed with this game.

I saw a post suggested that there are lot traits that attract strays. Maybe you're using one of those?

Thank-you! The lot does have the Dog Hangout trait...getting rid of that! Thanks so much, hopefully that helps.

Glad you got it figured out.....but that does sound hilarious that your lot was being invaded by strays, lol......frustrating at the time, but pretty funny in hindsight, ha.

Adopt them all! Then your yard will no longer be infested by strays :P

It was pretty funny how angry I was getting. The MOMENT I moved in, I was totally invaded. And they were coming out of the woodwork! I still see the odd stray but they don't help themselves to my dogs ball or food so that's good

I added a new house with both the Stray Cats and Stray Dogs traits and I currently have 8 strays running amok in my house! And I have 3 pets so that's 11 animals plus my two sims!!!!! Not fun!

i put a cat hangout trait cause i wanted to adopt strays and i ended up adopting 3 so i have 5 cats since i started with one and adopted one online. i have way to many cats wondering around.

Hmm...I haven't had this issue yet. By any chance, has your sim been interacting with a lot of strays? I have a theory that if you select "offer friendship" with them, it's like befriending a sim, and cues them to come hang out.

But if you haven't been interacting with them, then my theory is out the window. :p
