i cannot find any stray dogs (SIMS 4)

i have tried:

1. going to the island on brindeleton bay

2 going to the park

3. going to the park with dog hangout on

4. wondering around brideleton bay 

i have found some dog strays, but they are all ghosts (i don't want ghosts), and lots of cats strays

is there more cat strays or something?

any suggestions would be appreciated

Go to the Island evenings and nights there will be plenty of strays.

I was having this issue as well so i changed my lot traits to dog hangout and cat hangout. I had 4 cats and 4 dogs constantly at my house so it was a little much haha. Bridleton Bay definitely has a good amount of strays compared to other towns.

what’s the island evenings

@vanessasim21 Deadgrass Isle is a neighborhood in Brindleton Bay and the suggestion was try looking for stray dogs there in the evening or nighttime hours. That post was from a couple of years back and there have been many updates to the game since then and I suspect many changes for how the game spawns stray animals. When I play now I see plenty of stray dogs and cats all around Brindleton Bay, especially in the Cavalier Cove neighborhood. Are you still having this problem in 2020?
