Sims not jogging properly with pets

Arkane

Something has been wonky with the jogging lately. I live in Brindleton Bay, and when I go jogging with my dog my sim will go outside, take a few steps, then return home. I took them outside of my home and trying to jog from there to see if that would help and the same thing happened.

Maybe someone has run into this as well?

No CC, and I did the whole repair and clear cache options.

Hello
Is your sim a vampire? Simmers have posted issues with jogging when a vampire

Is your sim able to jog when not with a pet?
Try testing in another world and see if the issue remains.
Try also testing in a new save game and see if the issue remains.

Hey Rosemow.

I am not a vampire nor do I own the expansion.

I tested him jogging alone and he goes the path correctly (through the neighborhood, down the beach then back home)

I tested another world with a new character in Willow Creek and the jogging with a dog works as intended. He went around the neighborhood (park included) then came back.

I then started on a new save with that character with the dog issues and the same thing occurred.


I also made a new character and put them in Brindleton Bay in the same location and the same thing occurred.


*I took pics so you know the path I am speaking of*



So this is the house and the bridge where he and the dog runs.





They go half way under this bridge, turn around then come back home.





Now when my sim jogs alone, he'll go through the beach and all the way around back home. Doesn't do that with a dog.

Hello
I just tested this in my game and only once had your issue with the sim and dog turning back under the bridge. The rest of the time my sim and her dog just kept jogging under the bridge with no issues. They don’t though keep jogging right around the world.

Huh. I wonder why they don't jog through the beach. That's and odd thing for sure.

I'll have to test out what will happen if i take them to the beach first then jog from there. I'll let you know what happens.

It may depend where you start the jogging from, the route /pathway/direction that the sim and their dog takes.
