[NEEDS INPUT] [CD] Jog with Dog not working

[Peapod79]

This is still happening. I'm also seeing it in Willow Creek with the big dog. I haven't tried the small dog or other areas. My sims themselves can still jog just fine.

I am also having this issue, in several neighborhoods including Brindleton Bay and Strangerville.  Sim will leash the dog and just stand there.

@MsMisc I read an older post saying this was fixed in September, but I haven't seen much change myself. My Sims are having issues in Sulani the most but also Brindleton Bay. I haven't heard any updates though. Seems like there still isn't a solution. 🙁

@QueenieJocelyn I'm having the same issue on my Xbox. Both in Brindleton Bay and Glimmerbrook, I haven't tested on other maps yet. Also, sometimes my Sims will start jogging and just stop in the middle of the way and stand there with the dog for many in-game hours if left unchecked.

Personally, I have found it's not just jogging, although that is my go-to dog walk, but there is about a 50% chance my sims dog walk/jog starts off with them both just stood in the house (I usually get impatient and reset them after an irl minute or so of this), or they get so far into the walk/jog and then just stop (again, I usually just reset and send everyone home instead). If I queue up anything for after their walk/jog whilst they are on said walk/jog, often my sim immediately gives up on the walk/jog and starts doing the queued up task, sometimes with the dog still leashed.

I just make sure all my dogs have the independent trait now and can walk themselves without me constantly having to keep an eye on them!

I have no mods or CC, and only a handful of packs. I only really started playing with dogs after the latest patch/installing Cottage Living, so I don't know if it was there before. Happy to supply a save file if needed!

Whenever I try to walk the dog, it doesn’t matter how long, or go for a jog with the dog, the sim will attach the leash but then will freeze and just stand there. They won’t do anything else, they’ll just stand there and the dog will just hang out there as well. This started after installing cottage living and I tried turning off my custom content but the bug still happens.

I have the same problem, I tried to go for a walk/jog in Sulani, and my Sim and their dog just stay in the house but (after a while) the sim receives the moodlet energize+1 for the good walk/jog.

EDIT:

I found that it happens only in the lot in Mua'Pelam, which is a separate island. So it makes sense that you can't go anywhere with the dog.

@sinisteraspberry Same problem here...
Two years later and the problem clearly still persists.
Why isn't this fixed yet??

[ms09colt]

I also had this problem. I have a small dog and my Sims live in Henford-On-Bagely. I don't know how to fix it

@SummertimeQueen I have this exact same issue and cats and dogs was my first EP after buying BG and it's always happened, to this day
