[CD] [HR] Neighborhood Stories: Adopt a Pet Causes Pets With Blank Breeds

There's a similar issue reported for consoles, however that issue is fixed by randomising clothes. With this issue, pressing randomise does not seem to do anything.

This save file (and in fact, the save folder it's in) has no mods or CC.

Edit By Crinrict: Corrected pack tag

Save folders don't have mods (there's a few mods that add info there but those dort' do anything with the actual mod) , the mods folder does. Is that empty ?

Yes, and there is nothing mods-related stored in the saves folder that this save is in.

Finally, someone’s talking about this! Pets adopted through neighborhood stories have spawned breedless for years. I even tried making a mod that fixes this in S4S, but nothing worked since the system uses the same code as stray generation (with the strays having actual breeds assigned to them). So why do pets who generate as strays, adoptable pets, or vet clinic patients (when there isn't enough pet owners in the save) spawn correctly with actual breeds than the ones generated via neighborhood stories, even though they have the same code structure for generation? And it's frustrating not being able to edit households with the pets in CAS without changing the breed, I always have to type in "Mixed Breed" and call it a day.

Could this be related to this: [CD] [HR] Neighborhood Stories: Adopt a Pet Causes Pets With Blank Breeds | EA Forums - 12534719 ? 

Yes! It was a pet adopted by a household using neighbourhood stories.

Thank you!

There is a similar issue on Mac (which I reported here [CD] Cannot enter breed name, box greyed out | EA Forums - 12522619 ) although on Mac, the breed name cannot be entered (as it appears to be able to be on PC) and the randomise button does nothing (which fixes the unrelated console issue).

Merged your posts then.

I've had this bug for ages, actually. I wind up giving them silly breed names, so I've never worried about it much. 😆 It seems to particularly happen with mixed breeds.
