While playing again in the new save to find out about the pet calling bug I've noticed another bug. When training a cat to not jump on counters while they are on a counter it automatically teaches them to not jump on it but it also prevents them from jumping off of it as well. This is also true with tables as well. g. I had to go to buy mode move the object and the replace it.They no longer jumped on it so I thought, oh well, and continued playing in my last save. Resetting the object or animal didn't work. Didn't see a pattern till it happened on the new save. I also found that I could no longer brush my cat. It isn't listed anymore. I have no idea how long that has been happening. Noticed it in my last save and in the new save the option to brush is still missing. Fur balls are everywhere and I can only clean it repeatedly as a solution.

This issue might be related to that: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/TO-TEST-CD-Cats-getting-stuck-on-counters-and-other-furniture/...

Haven't heard of the brushing issue either.

I just got this too. My kid was out and was getting late when she had to be home at 9 PM. Cat send her a message that she should be home or she will get into trouble. Never happened before so first I laughed because it hasn't never happened but now I saw that is current problem for others too, I'm getting worried. It's not just a glitch 😖

I have this in a limited form & didn't think of it as a bug until I saw this report.  In my game, when there's no human left at home but a child or teen is breaking a curfew (thus owning C&D & Parenthood are both necessary--plus you have to have a pet, the family bulletin board, & a curfew-time set)--when these conditions are met, the pet will call/text the child/teen when the curfew approaches, & warn of dire consequences if the naughty little sim doesn't come home right away.

 

(I do wish, when the child/teen is accompanied by one of the HH's adults/caretakers, that the curfew issue would drop.  You always have implicit permission to break the usual curfew when the adults who set the curfew have taken you to a venue and are not taking you home themselves!  But that's a separate issue, & I suspect a programming oversight or limit.)

This is so funny I am crying. But yes this happened to me. Particularly with the parenthood pack too, when a curfew was set and a teen was out late the cat would send a text to my sim to suggest for them to come home. Sometimes the parents were out with the underage sim but sometimes the parents were inside the house. I ended up completely disabling the curfew system because it made me so upset.

@MissEshia Despite it being annoying as well, it's also quite hilarious to me. I had a cat's hangout a few days ago and whenever a cat left my property they'd text me thanking me for hanging out with them. XD

Whenever my families are out to dinner (it takes so long it becomes past curfew) one of the pets will call to say it's almost curfew. In The Sims 3 if the parents were with the curfew would be ignored by the game, one more thing the sims 3 did better lol. But regardless my dog should not know simlish and should not be telling me I'm gonna be grounded for being 10 minutes late getting home from dinner with my parents????
