[CD] [CoL] Pets/Farm Animals runs away outside of the map/up in sky

I've been having an issue with my pets (both cats and dogs) walking off my lot and just straight across the world and into the void. I notice they're gone because I don't see them around the house, and when I click on their icon to focus on them the camera usually goes towards the edge of the neighborhood. If I use the "free cam" (tab on the keyboard) and follow the direction where the camera locked on to, I find my pets just walking straight into the void. I can't call the pet back and have to travel with them to get them back to the lot.

    When taking the dog for a walk, neither the sim or dog will stop. Often times the dog is also running off on their own adventure, rather than actually being leashed to the sim. Causing the leash the string across the entirety of the map from sim to dog. The action doesn't complete, meaning it goes on indefinitely. Even when I go to cancel the action, they won't stop until I leave the lot. I've also experienced them glitching to be invisible whilst on walks/jogs, glitching outside of the map and unplayable. Even when using the "Let Out" option for Independent dogs, they won't come home until leashed and walked home, and that's only if the dog model is loaded in.

    I thought it was just the lot I was on, but after creating a new save and moving onto a lot it continues to happen.

    Walking dogs is so frustratingly buggy, I've had the sims spinning out on the spot, dog stretching the lead and disappearing into oblivion, both of them walking to the areas spawn in spot and just standing there indefinitely, my sim changing into swimwear mid walk and ditching her dog to go swimming. It never works as intended and I don't bother selecting "go on a walk" anymore, just leash the dog and click an area on her lot and choose "go here" that seems to satisfy the need for a walk from the dog and gives my sim the energized moodlet from walking the dog. I never noticed this problem in Brindleton Bay though, the cats and dog world seem to work fine for walking the dog, for me anyway. I play on PS4. 

  • Yes mine does that too now after the new patch update, but also I notice my dog upon turning to a adult dog morphed into a weirdly flat shaped dog. (Almost 2D instead of the regular 3D dog.)
