    Every time I go to the dog park most of the NPCs dogs arrive really dirty. I know my Sims are all new to pet ownership but really they must know how to use a bathtub!? lol :D Anyone else experience this?

      Yeah, I noticed my dogs can get really dirty really quick too sometimes! It's such a nightmare when they all need a bath and to pee etc at the same time :D

      I have a lot of dirty strays around town. Keep away from that poodle. I think it may be rabid. It's foaming at the mouth.

      I'm running into a lot of dirty pooches as well! Every time I come back to the Delgato family, Blue is absolutely filthy. And the Landgraab's prize toy dog I gave them is always noticeably dirty as well. Even in the stream and so many others' gameplay vids Rosie has been dirty too! I know dogs don't clean themselves, but...you're right! Most pet owners are gonna have a tub right there!

      You don't see the skunk, unfortunately, but when your sim is near a animal that got sprayed they will have a negative mood.

      I have also noticed that there is always poop every where and trash plants because no one picks it up!

      I had my sim go around BB and clean up all of it :(

      Ahhh, thanks. I did see a squirrel jumping around in the new neighborhood and thought maybe I missed the skunk.

      Yep, the NPCs dogs are always dirty and so are the strays. It's just... sad. Makes it look like everyone's mistreating their dogs in that neighbourhood.

      Would they wash their dogs if there was a tub at the park? Like in a bathroom?

      I put two bathtubs in my dog park and no NPC used them to wash their dogs. They do use it to bathe themselves though lol. :D

      I have a slightly different issue with dirty dogs - my own Sim's dogs often have stink clouds, without their fur looking dirty. I bathe them and the stink clouds go away, but they soon come back even without the dog doing anything that would make him dirty. I just cheat his needs and the stink cloud goes away, but I really don't understand why it's happening!

      I don't think npc dogs in households should get dirty
      also theirs the trouble of strays wanting to be let out side to poo even though they are outside
      more for sim kids and more drama please

      You can actually! I noticed all the dirty strays wandering around my lot (it has the dog/cat hangout perks) and thought; well, at least I can run a grooming parlour kind of for strays. Put a tub outside, befriended the dogs, then gave them baths! Some dogs were unhappy about it, but they let me do it anyways.

      Are they sick, maybe?

      I hadn't even thought of that, to be honest. I don't have any option to ask What's Wrong, which I thought would be available if they were sick. But I'll take them to the vet and check.

      Ive noticed that too. I created a vet and all the dogs leave filthy. We need a dog washing station to put in parks and the vet.

      Yeah, it's so gross. D: Maybe my sim needs to start a dog grooming center. XD

      There are tons of dirty pets that you see! Even in the Vet Career, most of them are dirty when their owners bring them. I wish you could just bathe them in the Vet place lol!
