Why can't kids walk the dogs?

Yeah I would love to see children getting dragged across the hard cement/asphalt by their dog.

I also wish children could walk their dogs. There are many other things I would like to see children be able to do. Right now they are too limited.

LOL that would be funny! Not like Maxis would add that in though, Sims 4 is way too ‘G’ rated for that kind of humor.

Dogs can drag adults too btw, and likewise that would have been pretty funny had they included it in the EP. Dogs dragging kids isn’t really a strong argument for *not* allowing kids to walk dogs.

I know it would be cool if kids could do more with the pets.

Laziness with making animations again, I assume.

No logical reason why children wouldn't be able to walk dogs.

Children seriously cannot walk dogs in this one? This is certainly a missed opportunity for sure. You'd think there'd be more to an expansion pack. I don't own it yet and I don't think I will until there are more interaction mods out for it, if those ever show. Sure, we get pets... but it seems rather lackluster to be honest.

Excellent point. EA can not think outside the box. All about the money.

I think it’s just an oversight. There’s no animations needed to add this for Kids.

There was a gif of a Child walking the dog on Twitter by The Sims team.

I assume it was planned but forgotten more than a case of “laziness” or “can’t do”.

It happens I guess.

Please find this gif. I haven’t seen it, and I even looked for it. You’ve brought it up more than once so please share what you’re talking about. I find it incredibly hard to believe they made kids able to walk dogs, but forgot about including it and not fixing that ASAP. It’s more likely a case of laziness, and a bad company vision mixed with budget constraints.

Walking other sims dogs could be a grate way for children, teens, and adults, to make extra cash.

If it really is something they forgot (which I doubt) then I really hope they add it in through a patch or something soon. The children feel kind of limited in what they can do so it is sad they made yet another activity not available for the children. It feels like in The Sims, life doesn't start until you're a teenager. Before that you're just something that takes up a family slot, goes to school, do homework and that's it. Maybe I am playing them wrong, I don't know.
