Yeah it does seem really buggy. Just had an issue where I had an adoption evaluation with 3 kitties and I went to adopt one and the adoption somehow glitched out and Anas just left ;( I checked back the next day and all 3 kitties in question were no longer on the list.
I've been playing C&D since release, and am still experiencing all of the same bugs that the original poster brought up. They're intermittent for the most part, some days it will be a few bugs other days it will be different. Most frustrating for me has been with dogs that refuse to learn how to be potty trained, despite how many times I ask them or take them out myself. I realize this has been noted as a conflict with the smart trait, which is one of the most useful traits a pet can have. I've also been experiencing another horrible bug that doesn't allow my dogs to go outside by themselves when they live in an apartment, the bubble for an object blocking their way appears although nothing is in their way. This even has applied to my sim, she will not use the elevator unless I manually direct her to or she will say something is in the way. She will not even return home unless I manually activate her going up the elevator. I've repaired the game multiple times, removed all CC, the same thing. It's obvious that this is a patch issue, has there been any word from EA at all? Over a month with some really game-breaking bugs seems like long enough.

Hello
I am sorry that you are having these issues. Some simmers have found that when they moved their sims household to an apartment closer to the ground level it helped with the issue you are having with the dogs. Perhaps you could try doing this and see if it helps the dogs and also your sim,
I am having an issue since I downloaded the cats and dogs EP today. I can no longer get into CAS in the cheats, whether it be regular CAS or full edit mode. Is anyone else having this issue? This was something I was able to do and had done quite a few times in the past.

Sooo...Im frustrated as heck. I had to delete my save. Which was the MOST progress I had ever made in the sims. Because of the following issues
-Dogs that run away and stay stuck in "grey" after returning home. Cant sign them in at the vet, cant bathe them because they are listed as run away from home...STILL .
- Cats stuck to counters
- Item position changes with each reload of the game
- Cant put pets for adoption
-Sims needs staying in the green no matter what
- Pets that are constantly in need of something.
Oh my goodness Im tired and aggravated.
I am starting a new save but not even sure its worth it!!!

I have been having problems ever sense I got the most recent update. My game is glitching where the screen looks like it is jumping. There are lines that go up and down the screen and sometimes it is the top of the screen that jumps around the rest of the screen. I have tried repairing the game in origin and I tried making a new file but I don't know what else to do. The only things I have installed are the sims 4 cats and dogs and the holiday pack(free), I have no custom content. I would really like some help please, and thank you. :/

Hello @Rebekah0425
Could you please post your DxDiag info here.
To gather a DXDIAG on your computer, do this :
Press and hold the Windows key and the letter R on your keyboard
You will see a Run box in the lower-left corner of your screen
Type dxdiag in the text field
Click OK
Click the Save All Information button, found on the bottom of the DXDIAG report
Then copy and paste the information from where you saved it, to pastebin https://pastebin.com
and post the link to the file here
You will need to break up the pastebin link though by putting h.t.t.p. instead of http, because you are unable to post links because you are a new member.
The Vet is not only incredibly buggy, it's also imo incredibly poorly planned out. WHY don't the sims sit with the pet in their laps whilst they wait for their turn? Why do they walk in to the exam room individually? They should grab the pet and place it in the exam table! It's such obvious vet clinic behavior! And then when they're done and they go home THEY LEAVE ON THEIR OWN! The sim goes running into the loading screen whlist the pet is still inside the vet clinic and does nothing! It's so Stupi*!! Like what the actual f! Even if the dog is big, they should just do a ''heavy'' grabbing animation whilst they put them on the exam table and in their lap whilst they wait, and then leash them automatically when you make them go home! UGH! EA SUCH FN RIP OFFS. I MISS THE SIMS 2 DAYS. SO SICK OF THIS CASH COW COMPANY.
@rosemow do you mean the system information or all the information I saved, because there is a lot of stuff saved?
Hello @Rebekah0425
Post all the dxdiag file information to pastebin. Then post the link to the pastebin address where your dxdiag information is , to here in this thread.
Hello @Rebekah0425
I am so sorry but your computer doesn’t meet the recommended requirements to run the expansion pack
Cats and Dogs ep requires 64 bit mode, and that mode requires over 4gb memory . Your laptop has less than 4gb for the computer to use, which is why you are having issues. It is also dual core and the pack needs quad core.
You have an integrated processor video card. It is using the same computer ram along with the game , origin, windows and other programs that you have on your computer.
I am so very sorry
You are getting a little low on free hard drive space also, so it would be good to try removing old programs that you aren’t using and transferring large photo files to an external drive to clear up space to help with the running of your computer.
If you have another computer it would be best to play on that if it is has higher computer specifications.
If you decide to purchase a new computer now or into the future and would like help and advice in getting a computer that can handle the game and packs, it would be good to post on a thread in the Sims 4 Tech section and simmers will assist you http://forums.thesims.com/en_US/categories/the-sims-4-technical-discussions
@rosemow thanks for the advice. And thanks for your help. I will ask for a new and better computer for my B-day I guess
You’re welcome If you would like help in getting a new computer that will run the game and packs, you can post on a thread in the Sims 4 Tech section like I suggested in the above post, and simmers there will assist you.
Hello everyone! I've been having a lot of issues that other users have already mentioned, but I can somehow carry on with them. The worst issue that I am having now is this: I have adopted a dog, right? And I wanted to let it go after a while, so I called for the adoption guys to come take her. The issue is that they never did. And I cannot save the game because the buttons are blocked and say that I cannot do anything during the process of taking away the dog. I cannot call them again for the same reason. I waited for them... and then buttons for building mode and world management have disappeared. :( I just want the dog to go away. I think the bug may have something to do with the new town (dogs&cats bay)? Like it's hard for them to get to the house? But come on, it's the original house and everything. I cannot close the game or I will lose all my progress... any suggestions? Some cheats to get rid of the dog or save with all the buttons are blocked?

Hello I have a problem with cats and dog. when I click the mouse on a dog or a cat, so you have to show the possibilities of what I can do with the animal. "Bubbles" appear but no text. It's better to see it in the picture. Do not you know someone with that? Thanks you!!!

Hello
When adopting it can help to leave the front door unlocked.
If you continue to have adopting issues, you may like to post feedback on this AHQ EA thread
