My Dog is constantly scared.... «123...Next Go

Loralahla

My large Samoyed is afraid all the time. I'm aware that they have fears and such, but after asking "What's Wrong?" the option to calm him down no longer shows up. Is this happening to anyone else?

I have never seen an option to calm my scared dog down. I get a pop-up saying that he's afraid of something and just needs time to calm down. I don't know what he's afraid of exactly. He gets a thought-bubble of a lampshade over someone's head, that's it. It's mind-boggling, because he stays uncomfortable no matter what lot we are on.

Loralahla

An option used to come up for me.
For example, my dog has a fear of the tv being turned on. At one point, my Sim had a friend over who promptly went over to the couch to watch television. My dog started cowering in the corner. Once asked "What's wrong?" an option came up to calm him down. That doesn't happen anymore.

TheSimsBoi13

Oh yeah, I have never seen that option come up. Have you tried repairing the game? I did and my dog is still uncomfortable.

Loralahla

I haven't tried, because I guess I assumed maybe my dog had an abnormal amount of fears? Currently the tv and fridge are being detained in the family inventory, because if I remove either of them..... the dog becomes uncomfortable. lol

My cats seem to be afraid of eachother- two get along, one is afraid of the other, she's happy when I send her out. I had one afraid of a dog I had, I put it up for adoption and she's fine now, but it was a risk and if it wasn't the dog I'm still none the wiser

Yeah I have had the calm down interaction and now it's gone. Dog is afraid of the microwave and computer. Seems silly that we can't help them with the fear.

Is it possible to post a pic and does your dog have the jumpy trait?

Loralahla

Currently repairing my game, but I'll screenshot a pic once I open it back up.
My dog is Smart, Loyal and Friendly. Currently afraid of the tv and ...."obsessed"? with the fridge

My dog was friendly too she did this a lot so what I did was make people in the house hold play with her and talk to her and got her a friendly cat now she's only afraid of the toliet. I think the fact she is friendly if she's around strangers it's scary? Lool I'm trying to figure this game out too xD

On a side note the dog could be sick they won't tell you unless it happens for a bit

My dog has the same traits as yours and I can’t figure out what he’s afraid of. I think he’s obsessed with the fridge. He stands near it a lot and barks at it and a thought bubble of the fridge pops up. It’s not a negative thought bubble though - so I’m not sure what he’s afraid of. Ughh I’m getting frustrated by him whining all of the time lol.

I have a question; I'm playing the sims 4 with pets expansion & my sim just asked his pet cat "what's wrong?" since the cat was meowing a lot. When the cat responded it shows a image of someone in a blue shirt, but face is covered by a lamp shade. what exactly does that mean if anybody knows? I tried to screenshot it, but it won't show up.

I think a few of us are still trying to figure this out. I wonder if it’s a bug (the constant fear) or if there’s a fear we just can’t pinpoint yet? Hmm.

I've got a puppy that's afraid of the TV. When he starts shaking and gets the TV thought bubble over his head, there is an interaction in the menu to "calm down" and it doesn't require me to ask him what's wrong first. So maybe next time look for that before asking what's wrong and see if the option is there.

I had to kill the TV too :P
Poor puppy freaked out and the sims wouldn't stop torturing him by watching TV. So I deleted the TV set. Now they gotta entertain themselves in other ways. He's no longer a fearful pup.

Try saving and closing the game completely then reopening. It seemed to work for me

The man with the lamp shade over the head is the vet I think because my animals have been afraid of him since I took them to the vet and they all got those shots
