Pets can live in apartments in sims 4
Pets can be large, small, or in between, and all need a place to go to the bathroom. Some of the quietest dog breeds are Bulldogs, Cavalier King Charles Spaniels, Bernese Mountain Dogs, Borzois, Basenjis, and Scottish Deerhounds. Even puppies need help going outside, and you can help them by asking them to potty outside.
Apartments must be designed with pathing, because pets need to go out every now and then. Dogs are especially likely to need to go outside a lot to relieve themselves if they’re living in an apartment. However, apartments that are on the second or third floor will require frequent trips outside. First-floor apartments, on the other hand, will require fewer trips outside and will be much easier on a pup’s legs and bladder. If your apartment does not have a designated potty area, you can buy a faux grass potty, which is cheap and easy to install.
In addition to toilet training, pets also need food. Pet food is located under the kitchen tab in buy mode and is set to refill every x hours. If you own only one Sim, you can consider installing an automatic food dispenser. Be sure to set a sufficient amount of food for your pets on a daily basis, so they don’t miss a meal. You can also set them to use the toilet whenever you need to.
They can interact with mice
In Sims 4, dogs can interact with mice when they are going to the bathroom, but this doesn’t mean that the mice will play nice with your Sims. You can avoid this problem by avoiding the mice entirely. Using a mop can remove any sludge that your Sims come across and give them a moodlet for the day. You can even let your friends share your apartment to make it more interesting for them to stay.
This feature isn’t included in the standard Sims game, but it can be enabled through the Sims 4 Parenthood Game Pack. Afterward, you can install this mod by extracting the downloaded file and pasting it into your “Mods” folder. You can then enable the pet by enabling it in the game’s settings menu. Afterward, your Sim can adopt a cat or a dog from your friend.
They can potty train
Luckily, you can potty train your dog in Sims 4! While adult and juvenile dogs don’t know how to use the bathroom, it is possible to train a puppy. The pet care menu offers you several options to teach your dog to use the bathroom outside. You can also reward your dog with treats if they go outside. Dogs will eventually learn to use the bathroom on their own.
There are two ways to potty train your dog in Sims 4: you can use a litter box or artificial grass box. Artificial grass boxes are the most common option, which are placed over a tray of absorbent litter. You can place these boxes inside your home, on a balcony, or even outside. You can also get these boxes if you have an apartment with the special lot trait “Needs TLC.”
