Pet Issue/Bug after they came back from Running Away

I am currently encountering a small issue/bug in-game.

You all know when your pet decides to run away for a while? My pet did that and I saved game right after cause I decided to stop playing (I was going to sleep). Then coming back to play Sims the next day, I decided to switch playing to another Sim household for a while. While playing another Sim household, days continue for any other Sims in the world right? So after I switched back to the Sim household that had a pet ran away, the pet was back! Which is great BUT it's icon down below, still shows that it is missing or not in the lot (shaded/grey). I can interact with my pet just fine EXCEPT when I try to travel, that pet do not show up in my household tab anymore (like it would if it ever ran away and haven't come back).

So, i don't know what to do. I tried debugging it using the testingcheats enabled + SHIFT+CLICK cheat but it did nothing.

  • Oh thank you! But now my problem is getting my pet ran away again. Funny enough my pet still leaves even when I take care of it quite well. Do I just ignore it?

    If it has the Adventurous trait then it will be more likely to run away.

    It happens. If you post about it on the PC it will return sooner.

    A couch potato will be less likely to run away.
