I fill my pets bowls and have a sim call the pets, the pets go to the bowl but do not eat from it. I have tried using different pet bowls and having them in different places but they still won't eat. It shows them as uncomfortable and at risk of being taken away.
Edit By Crinrict: Adjusted Title to fit old report.
Please please fix this. At least the cats are using the litter tray. But other is you can't even click on the pet obstacle course.
I know I have already reported this and it still hasn't been fixed, its frustrating because I have had to not put pets into my game as they can not use the pet bowl, and when you click the bowl you you get no option to call pet to eat.
The only way to get them to eat is to cook a gourmet pet food but that's annoying to do.
PLEASE FIX
My dogs will not eat from bowl unless called to eat and sometimes not even when called to eat. This is right after updating on 9.18.25
I keep getting a notification pop up saying they are hungry despite there being at times two bowls of food full for them. They will eat but only if I have a sim call them to eat. It’s happening on pretty much every save I have pets on but mainly with dogs.
I came here to see if there is a thread similar to my issue and found this one, so I'm posting my issue here. My cat had 3 super cute kittens a few days ago and 2 of them are feeling very uncomfortable and are having a hard time to eat. The bowls are full, not blocked but they just stand in font of the bowl looking to the left and right but not eating. They are hungry but eating does not work! Repaired the game several times, refilled the bowls, switched bowls, ordered them to eat again but noting. Same issue with sleeping. they are tired, energy bar orange, hopping into to pet bed but wont sleep. Really frustraiting. They only thing that helps is cheating their needs. No more fun playing the game with all these bugs!
I'm having the same issue with one of my cats, my sim family has 2, but only the female spayed cat is having issues with eating from bowl. I am able to get her to eat if I use the "Call pet to eat" command by any of my sims. I am not using any CC/Mods. This started happening a month ago, back then I bought a few kits.
I just bought the Cats & Dogs expansion pack and I experience the same problem... Which is unfortunate, as it's not an option that you can skip/ignore to use the rest of the gameplay.
All the options are there: I have two automatic food bowls and one manual bowl. I can fill them, but the dog just goes over to stand there and is not eating. It keeps giving the pop-up that the dog is hungry. I can call him over to eat, but he still doesn't eat. He also doesn't accept treats.
My cat (kitten) in the same household does seem to eat, as she doesn't get the pop-up that she is hungry.
I have no mods, only the following expansion packs:
- Cottage living
- Get to work
- Cats and dogs
I see the status of this issue is set on 'needs info', does anyone know what information is needed for this issue to be investigated?
Edited to add: I am playing the game on PC through the EA desktop app.
Hi there, I see the status was changed to 'needs info', but I don't see a message that states what info is needed. Could you let us know what information is necessary to fix the bug, so we can try to provide this information? Thanks!
clumsyspacecow This is an ancient issue that had a thread at AHQ which was set to NEEDS SAVES.
crinrict Okay, thanks for letting me know. This forum is the replacement for AHQ right, or am I mistaken? (I'm new to this forum)
And if so, do they still need to receive the saves? In that case, I'll try to send it to them.
