Children bring pets to Vet Clinic

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
What is your current game version number? 1.71.86.1020
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All of Them
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Run a vet clinic.
What happens when the bug occurs? Children will spawn as "Pet Owner" at the vet clinic. Because they are children they cannot interact with the check-in machine nor can we actually treat their pet.
What do you expect to see? No Children bringing pets to the vet.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? No

I have had this happen many times and I have to use MCCC to force the children to leave the lot. They can't be interacted with for the vet clinic purposes but they show up with their sick pet.

  • @ArcherAngelo Never had a child at my clinic.

    Did you close down the clinic, then remove mods and delete localthumbcache or at what point did you remove them ? Did you also try if it happens on a save that never had mods in ?

    @ArcherAngelo Please try without. Bug reports need to be on vanilla game.

    Any mechanism of MCCC that generates something can potentially be responsible for this.
  • Still having the issue. This time I came as a client with a different family and a child spawned with their pet.

  • Okay, I've been playing MCCC-free most of the day in a completely new save file. I gave pets to all of the households that have children. Good news, no children showed up. Instead the game keeps spawning and generating completely new sims and pets to show up and the households already in game don't appear with their pets very often at all.

    @ArcherAngelo Sounds like the children are most likely related to MCCC then. Did you double check the settings there ?
