So forgive me first of all I just made this account I don't know how all this works soo yeah. I have a problem with one of my pets, specifically a cat. It had been a long long time and this specific cat still hadn't aged up. She outlived her owners and her own children. I decided to take it into my own hands and age her up myself, but then she ran away, and now it says she's still missing when she actually isn't. I don't know what to do. Now she won't die, and is forever "missing". I can do what I usually do to pets when their not missing to her, so yeah, not sure what to do...hope I did this question thing right. Also I don't just want to delete her because I'm making a graveyard and want her in it, I don't want to lose her.

Hey there, @MangoGreenery. I apologize for the wait. Another thing you can try, if you haven't already removed the cat, is to upload the cat to the Library, delete the local cat, and then re-add the cat from the Library. Could you see if that helps bring the kitty around again? Arrenai 🐱 Did you receive an awesome, helpful response? 👍 +XP! Was your issue resolved by a great post? :eahigh_file: Accept as Solution ASK.

Sul sul, @MangoGreenery. When you initially created the cat, did you use any cheats before the one you used to age her up manually? Arrenai 🐱 Did you receive an awesome, helpful response? 👍 +XP! Was your issue resolved by a great post? :eahigh_file: Accept as Solution ASK. ANSWER. LEVEL UP.

I have not. I don't even remember how to turn on cheats and I like keeping my game natural. I only aged her up after I noticed her kittens where already older than her. But now she's stuck as a elder. I've tried aging her down again then back up, moving her into a new household, and such, but it still says she's missing. I also can't take her a bath even though she has fleas and is stained. I don't want to delete her, but if I have to I guess I will.

Thanks for the reply, @MangoGreenery. There may be a cheat that will help bring that little kitteh back to you without fear of having to delete her. Let's see what we can do. First, to activate Sims 4 cheats on both PS4 and Xbox One, load into the game and hold down all four triggers at the same time. After that, enter testingcheats true into the textbox. After that, please try the command resetSim [firstname] [lastname] to reset the pet - or any sim referenced. Please give that a try and let me know how it goes.

So I did end up trying your cheat and I don't think it worked. At first I though it was because my pet didn't have a last name, so I gave her one but everytime I typed it in nothing happens. To make sure I was doing it right, I tried it on my other sims and it worked. I decided to then turn her into a ghost, but she's still missing. Brought her back to life, still missing. So now I went back to my old save before I did the ghost cheat. Thanks for trying to help me but I'm not sure if this can be fixed. I might just have to delete her a get a copy. Sucks but if I have to I will.

Just tried this, sorry for taking a bit also, but it didn't work. Which surprised me because I honestly thought it would work too, but yeah. I hope though now I can bring her back or she'll die somehow? Maybe, but it's still glitched. I guess I will have a cat outlive everyone.. :/

Oh no, @MangoGreenery. I'm sorry to hear that the kitty still won't come back. ☹️

When you imported the kitty from the Library again, did it start out in the missing state?

Yes it did. I decided to add her more than once in my other families but they all still say missing sadly. If this can't be undone I guess I'll let her be to live forever in some other household. For now I'll see what I can do. I hope this can be fixed, I'm in no rush but I wasn't really planning on having a elder cat live forever.

Poor immortal kitty, @MangoGreenery. ☹️

Hmm, do you have a copy of the save where the cat was present, even if it was still eternally young? If so, you could try doing the Library trick with that one, and see if you can pull it into your current save.

Another option might be to create the cat's "twin" in CAS to replace the missing cat, and then delete the missing one. This one isn't very elegant, as progress made on the cat in-game is lost, but it may work in this instance to give you a present and mortal kitteh.

Oops, very sorry for taking so long. I sorta forget about this. I decided to just put my cat with another household to live an internal life. Also to anwser your question, no I do not have any saves with her sadly. I could try to make a twin cat, but no one can ever replace Dove. So the glitch has won. I'm not too bothered by this, but wasn't really expecting it. It hasn't broke my game or anything so yeah, guess she will live forever.
