The Heckings abandoned their dog?

I know it's just a game, but this is so sad. :(

You should kill them off and adopt their dog.

Aww. Rosie (that's her name, right?) was all alone at this night club in my game and she was there whimpering and crying as everyone danced. I thought she had been left there until Brant.. Or Brent... Uh.. The one with the pompadour came downstairs.

after having my sim camp out in their home for several days i figured out that they are in fact going to work, at the same time, oddly enough.
but even when they are home they never acknowledge rosie's presence.

my sim is now walking, feeding, and bathing her. he even potty trained her.
for some reason feeding someone else's dog still costs your sim simoleons. at this rate he will never be able to buy a tent. :grimace:

Her sad little face is so heartbreaking. :(

NPC sims seem to be really bad at looking after their pets. The lady who has like 3 cats in Brindleton Bay is a prime example of this. Whenever I visit her, at least 1 of her cats is sick. One time it just kept throwing up and wouldn't stop until I forcibly reset it. Was so weird.

I do wish inactives would take better care of their pets. I've been playing a vet clinic and one of my sims came with their dog, who was filthy. I don't want them to be neglectful!

The cat lady comes in at least twice a day to my vet clinic. I'm convinced she's a bad pet owner.

Yeaaa..... Inactive households definitely don't take care of their pets. At all.
Every time I visit one, the pet is always hungry. Sometimes dirty, but always hungry.
I wish the devs would change this. Or make it so autonomously, inactive sims would at least fill a pet bowl while youre there visiting.... Seems like an oversite.

She kept my sim vet afloat buying all the treats, which kept making Catarina's pets all sick.

I have noticed that every unplayed Sim households that own pets do not look after their pet whatsoever. The pet is always hungry dirty, or both when I visit a household with a pet. Do they not autonomously take care of their pets or what?! If they do not, that is kind of not that great given that Pets is an EP.

More of a cat collector then a cat owner.

Yeah, inactive households rarely if ever take care of their own pets autonomously, except for the occasional treat. A good example of this is when well into playing with the new EP, I moved a single Sim who used to be a CL weirdo into the nice beach house in the Cove in BB. She had to go to work during the same time that the welcome wagon came by so I never got to greet them in and they were miffed at me. Seeing as I wanted to patch things, I went over to their house to visit for the day. Not only were both their cat and dog hungry at the same time, their dog Blue was so hungry he even took the food bowl into his mouth and dropped it in front of one of the adults, yet they kept right on doing something else instead of feeding them. I had to fill the bowl for them to get them to eat up. Sad and annoying.
