Successful breeding of Pets?

My dog cannot be nice to anyone, not other dogs or other sims. My dog never interacts with any other dog, and when I encourage her to breed, there's always the growling. It's pretty game-breaking, since I cannot get her pregnant for the life of me...

If your sim becomes better friends with the dog you can tell the to be nice to other animals and sims.

The problem with me is I have a fat chow chow, so her head takes up the entire signet thingy at the bottom, so it's impossible to know her emotions, also, when I tried, the male husky I have, showed a thought bubble that viewed Panda Bear (the name of the chow) in a negative way

i haven't tried breeding yet. however anyone know how long before an adult cat goes into heat? i only play with the cat family for about a sim week. so maybe i'm not there long enough for her to go in heat... oh wait she was adopted. maybe she's spayed. ok i'll check on that. however with that being said. how often does a cat or dog go into heat?

It just dawned on me that breeding is probably affected by what "Sim maximum" options we have selected in our game options menu! If you guys are close to your sim limit perhaps it lessens the chance or blocks it entirely. Just a thought. Not sure though.

It's never worked in game for me unfortunately. The problem in my game is that the "be nice to" interaction doesn't work (the animal doesn't do anything/doesn't interact with the animal I told them to be nice to) - so my dog can't build a friendship up with another dog in order for them to want to breed when I ask them to.

My sim is friends with all the dogs I try to get her own dog to mate with, I've tried when she's in heat and when she's not, I've trapped the dogs together and kept them happy for several sim days and they still just refuse to interact and dislike each other too much to want to breed. I have no mods or CC, I've repaired my game and I've deleted cache files.

Is there another sign that you can tell that the female cat is in heat? I have asked my 2 cats several times "encourage to mate", half the time the hearts are above. But I think I've asked them at least 15 times and nothing. How do I know if they like each other? Anyone have any tips?

No and I would love if a dev could step in and explain how the process works and if there is anything that we can do in-game to increase the chances of breeding.

I have the same issue! My dogs just ignore me, and so when I ask them to breed, they just growl. It's annoying.
