Hey there, fellow dog lovers! Have you ever experienced the frustration of trying to potty train your smart dog in The Sims 4, only to have them never learn to do it by themselves? Well, join the club! It seems like this bug has been around for a while, and it’s driving us crazy. Let’s dive into the details and see if we can find a solution together.
The Persistent Bug
You start off with a smart dog in the game, diligently training them to go potty outside. You spend weeks and weeks teaching them, following them around the house, and constantly reminding them to do their business outside. But no matter how many times you tell them, they just don’t seem to learn. It’s frustrating, to say the least.
False Promises
To make matters worse, you receive a popup claiming that if you keep telling your dog to go potty, they’ll eventually learn to do it on their own. But guess what? It never happens. You keep telling your furry friend to go potty, hoping for that magical moment when they finally grasp the concept, but it never comes. It’s like a cruel joke played by the game.
A Glitch in the System
Now, you might be wondering why this bug is happening in the first place. Well, it turns out that this issue has been reported before. In fact, there was a bug that affected smart dogs and their inability to go potty unless directed. The developers claimed to have fixed it, but it seems like it still lingers, haunting our gameplay experience.
Personal Tales of Frustration
Let’s take a moment to commiserate with some real-life stories from Simmers who have encountered this infuriating bug. One player shared that they had an elder dog that was initially potty trained but lost the ability to do it after being fed an age-down treat. The poor pup couldn’t find the multiple food dishes scattered around the house either. This led the player to conclude that Sim dogs were just too much work, and they swore off having any more of them. Can you blame them?
A Super Sim’s Dilemma
But there are those determined Simmers who strive for perfection in their gameplay. Their Super Sims, who want to max out all skills, including pet training, simply cannot avoid getting a second dog. The struggle is real. So, they find themselves facing the same issue all over again. A new dog, the same old problem. The frustration continues.
Hope on the Horizon?
In some rare cases, players have experienced a glimmer of hope. While visiting the Heckings, one player told their dog, Rosie, to go potty just once, and lo and behold, the popup appeared, claiming that Rosie had learned to go potty by herself. But for most of us, this remains an elusive victory, as our dogs seem to be immune to this miraculous breakthrough.
Let’s Keep Fighting
As we patiently wait for a permanent fix from the developers, we can’t help but express our frustration. We shout at the screen, “It’s a lie! A lie!” every time that misleading popup appears. We continue to train our dogs, hoping that one day they will finally catch on and relieve themselves without our constant reminders.
Conclusion
So, fellow Simmers, if you’ve been struggling with the never-ending battle of potty training your smart dogs in The Sims 4, know that you’re not alone. This bug has plagued many of us, causing endless frustration and disbelief. Let’s continue to raise our voices and bring attention to this issue, in the hopes that one day, our Sim dogs will learn to go potty outside on their own.
In the meantime, keep up the good fight, and remember, you’re not the only one dealing with this “potty-licious” problem in The Sims 4!
