What do you mean by Cats/Dog element ? From the description it seems you mean the actual animal (just to be sure I understand you right).

Could you test a new game for testing purposes and also other neighborhoods as well ?

Also did it ever work ?

So far I’ve not been able to do any social interactions with stray cats, stray dogs (or wandering cats or dogs) or birds (the flock of pigeons.)

Please explain what you mean about creating a new game for testing and i’ll be happy to do it.

I moved the household to Brindleton Bay because there were no strays appearing in Willow Creek despite the expansion pack being added so I thought that strays were only supposed to/able to appear in Brindleton Bay - is this not the case?

In addition: I now own a vet clinic and I can interact with the pets who arrive as patients - I just cannot interact with strays or wandering animals.

It has never worked.

    I think they do appear if you add a lot trait, no matter the world.

    There's also some in the Jungle Adventure world if you own that pack.

    What I mean is, clicking on the new button on the main menu to create a different save game (this doesn't overwrite the old or anything, you can later go back to the old one). Then just see if it happens there too.

      Hi @summersideup

      I've tested this in my game after the latest patch and I have no issues.

      Did you have any luck trying a new save game ?

       I know this is old but i have the EXACT same problem as this person. I tried created new saves, being on different lots, repairing my game, and restarting my computer but nothing seems to work. Its kind of a bummer that I can't interact with strays because that is a main part of the expansion.

        This was happening to me as well. Maybe try and change your lot traits to dog hangout, cat hangout or both. I wish you the best of luck solving your issue. Please remember there is always somebody out there to help. Have a great day.

        Happy simming
