I started a new game to play a hermit witch and she's got a cat that looks like a possum. This cat has some...unique tendencies.

 

 

Should be noted: Does not happen in my other game save file, at least not that I've seen. Also does not happen to any other pets in the witch game. No CC was used to make this possum pet--it was downloaded from the gallery.

Sul Sul, everyone!!!

 

We had a look at this issue but we're struggling so far when trying to reproduce it. If someone who still sees this issue in their game would be willing to share a save file with us, that would be super helpful! Standard smile Here's how you can do that.

 

Thanks again and Happy Simming! Party hat

Hello,

 

I hope that someone would be able to help with this animation/deforming bug. My pets keep stretching without any obvious cause. The glitch is quite frightening for me, but I would really like to play with pets. An 'animation error' exception usually appears, but sometimes other exceptions occur that mention toybox, pet, hug, and etc. I've removed the toybox, and tested each interaction, but wasn't able to reproduce the problem. It happens unexpectedly and randomly. There was even an exception that mentioned a book (or my sims trying to give the dog a book :/ ) .

 

I'm aware that this is an old issue dating back to 2017, but if anyone has a solution I would appreciate it so much!

@cozyinn It's fine to use this old thread unless you know exactly which animation they are using so I've merged your post.

Could you upload your LE ? Also make sure to test without mods.

Follow instructions here on how to upload: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/INFORMATION-How-does-this-forum-work/m-p/3445427#M181737 (under Additional info)

Thank you for the reply! I've gone back and attached two screenshots of last exceptions simplified by Better Exceptions and one word doc of one of the last exceptions txt files.

@cozyinn The toy box was reported before I think, maybe in this thread, can't find a thread on it's own atm.

The other seems to be an error with a book.

There was also an LE mentioning ‘pet’ or ‘hug’. It was autonomous and I haven’t been able to replicate it.
