Time: 2019-05-27

In the Sims 4, if you want to a pet to join your household, you can only adopt them. But do you know how to adopt a pet? In the following, you will be told with some tips to adopt a pet in the Sims 4.

There are a couple of ways that you can adopt a pet in The Sims 4. Of course, you must own the Cats and Dogs DLC, but after that it’s as simple as using your home computer. Well, any computer. If you’re poor and don’t have one, visit the library. Once at a computer, you’ll need to visit the Household option, then look for Adopt. You will have the option to adopt a cat or dog for $200. You can select up to three from the options.
 
The free way to adopt a pet is to adopt a stray. When mousing over any pet out in the neighborhood, the word "Stray" in red font will appear on their nameplate if they are unowned. If your Sim befriends the pet off their home lot and raises the relationship meter high enough, the "Adopt" social interaction will appear. Select that to immediately add it to your family. Be warned that generally strays can breed, for better or worse depending on whether you want offspring.
 
Pets will liven up Sims' lives in a number of ways. First, you will have to care for them, for example walk dogs, feed them and take them to the vet when they're sick, else they can be taken away. Kids who do this will gain responsibility from the Parenting pack.
 
You can't control your pets, but you can teach them. Pets can be trained and your Sims will build up relationships with them in the process. Is the cat shredding furniture? Scold it and teach it not to do that, and it'll gradually stop using this behavior. Housebreak your dogs and teach them to go outside. Many players seem to like this feature, as it's more realistic than giving the player the ability to control what the pet does. You can't see their moods, you can only check how they're doing.
