Update: it seemed to work when I tried it in a brand new save file. I've only tested it once. Still not working in the old save file though. Just thought that might be worth mentioning.

Same thing is happening in my game & I have two pet carriers in my Sims home.  Any idea how to remove them?  I went to Buy Mode to delete, & I was unable to select them.

Someone on twitter posted that reloading the game gets rid of the carrier

 

This is how it should work

 

  1. Adopt a pet through computer. You should NOT be charged
  2. Wait for the person to arrive with the pet, then you can look at it and evalute
  3. If you wanna go for it, click on the animal to adopt
  4. You should now be charged.

So, if it's not working like that, there might be an issue around. I'll test some further myself.

I know absolutely nothing about coding so I don't know if this means anything or is useful but I attached a lastexception that I get when it fails to add the pet to the household. I just want to help to fix it in any way possible, as soon as possible. Frankly I'm pretty upset this feature doesn't work, I had low expectations of EA for this pack and yet still they've managed to disappoint me.

I have tried to move my existing family from another town to the new one and adopt a puppy. When the adoption agent turns up they have no puppy with them . I tried calling them again same thing. If I leave to travel and come back the puppy is there I can introduce myself and it and the agent just disappear . I just want my legacy Sims to have pets I was really looking forward to this pack!

This is essentially what's happening with me. All my older sims (and sims from the gallery I saved) cannot adopt pets but if I create a new one they can adopt

 

I do have CC tho

Sometimes when the adoption agent comes by, they will put the puppy or kitten in the crate, but they don't take the crate so I can't enter buy/build, travel, save, or anything because there is a member "leaving" the household. I have tried testingcheats and reset object and it doesn't do anything. This bug has occurred 3 times since the release. I have probably put a solid 10 hours into the exp. pack now. The only thing that I can say that I have noticed when this happens when I have time sped up x3. Other than that, no clue. I am playing in English.

Hi @InformationLake

 

is this an existing save (pre-patch) or one you started after pets ?

Adoption Pet Carrier Cannot be Deleted or Moved

★★★ Guide

Product: The Sims 4
Platform:PC
Which language are you playing the game in? English
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
What expansions, game packs, and stuff packs do you have installed? All
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Adopt a pet through the computer.
What happens when the bug occurs? After I officially adopt the pet and the agent leaves, the pet carrier stays, and it cannot be deleted or moved.
What do you expect to see? If the pet carrier sticks around, I would at least expect to be able to move or delete it.
Have you installed any customization with the game, e.g. Custom Content or Mods? Not now. I've removed them.
Did this issue appear after a specific patch or change you made to your system? Yes
Please describe the patch or change you made. Cats and Dogs EP

For whatever reason, after I officially adopt a pet through the computer and the agent leaves, the pet carrier sticks around, and it cannot be deleted or moved. I know I picked Every Time, but I'm not exactly sure. This happened on my first file after installing Cats and Dogs, so I reloaded and just adopted a stray. I haven't tried this again yet. If it helps, this occurred at 1313 21 Chic Street in San Myshuno.
