Pet stuck in permanent pregnancy.
«

I've had Pets for awhile now but just haven't really created any until a few days ago. I made a couple of dogs in CAS and moved them in with a single sim. I'm not sure how long the pregnancy lasts (I'm guessing 3 days maybe at most?) but its been like 11 days already and no puppies. I know she is pregnant cos I get the "I should stay home in this condition" whenever the carpool arrives for her to go to work. I don't get the option to breed them either.
I've tried deleting her and that hasn't worked. Any help would be appreciated.

Do you have SimPE? While I've not looked at any of the character files for my pets, I know that there is a pregnancy status box for Sims (which I've used to correct the same issue), thus there may be one for pets as well.

Pets should give birth after 2 days. If you play with aging off, you may want to enable it to see if that helps the pregnancy move along. I don't know why it would, since sim people can give birth with aging disabled, but it's something else to try.
As far as I know, SimPE would also help resolve the issue, cince I seem to recall seeing the pregnancy box for pets the other day.

I do have Simpe, but I've only ever used it for genetics (custom eyes/skins) which I used a guide to do. I have no idea how I could fix this problem via Simpe. If there is a guide someone could point me to, I'll gladly give it a go.
I never play with aging off, I double checked it anyway and that isn't the problem. Ty for the replies.

I don't know if there's an existing guide, but here's what you do (numbers refer to the below image):
*Open SimPE
*Select the Hood Browser (#1 below)
*Choose whatever hood you're working in and hit "Open"
*Select "Sim Description" in the tree (#2 below)
*Select the appropriate animal in the list to the right
*Go to the "Other" tab down below
*Check the pregnancy flags (#3 below)
I'd try just bumping pregnancy a stage forward or back. If this doesn't work, I'm out of ideas.
ETA: If the picture is not clear, click on it to go to the full size image.

I have this same problem only I thought it was because I used the shift+click debug grow up menu that the debug cheat or boolprop has....anyways I tried your simPE fix and I'm just testing now to see if it works! I'll check back in like 10 minutes to tell you if so.

B, I just tried all those options and none of them worked
I think I'll make another pet couple tonight and see if I have the same problem with them. That way I can isolate the problem better.
I don't think its a hack conflict since I only use the mods by Pes, TJ and Inge. I've also run the hack conflict tool, everything seems fine.
Anyhow, I appreciate the guide/pics B, seemed so easy

Sorry guys! Usually deleting the permanently pregnant sim/pet does the trick. SimPE was a bit of a stretch (usually it's only good for aborting pregnancies) but it could've worked. Just out of curiosity, what did SimPE show for the pregnancy (invisible, half or full)?

Simpe didn't show anything, none of the body flags were ticked. I made another couple like I mentioned earlier in another nieghbourhood. I'm having the same problem and Simpe isn't showing any flags for her either /sigh
Seems like I need to take out all my mods and see if one of those is the culprit.

I've taken out all of my mods (with the exception of notownieregen), moved the family into another lot and still no change. Oh well, guess I'll just have to live with it. I did a fresh install a few days after the last patch came out for Seasons so I'm not doing that again.

kikosimXL -You may want to start a new topic and attach the error log. See the FAQ for instructions on how to do this. You could also attach it in this topic, but it's likely to be missed if you do.
As for the general pregnant pet problem, you may want to both try moving your Docs\EA Games\Sims 2 folder to the desktop and letting the game regenerate files. Then you can begin to move back your saved hoods, but leave the downloads folder empty. Short of reinstalling, this is the most thorough way to remove any traces of a mod that xould have borked the pregnancy cycle for your pets.

Alternatively, you can attach an error log to the first post of this thread, and then make a new post letting folks know that you've done so.
Edit: I am retarded. I just realised that B was not replying to the OP, but to somebody else. Well, that was certainly a 'duh' moment!

It's actually TwoJeffs' hack, and it allows same-sex couples to get pregnant. You can find it over in his new forums on the Inteenimator site.

OK, my computer wont let me edit my post, unless it did edit it and didn't show it to me... Ok so I said JM, I meant TJ, this post was supposed to go into another forum so I didn't see the post with the actuall name on it. Sorry guys I was being really retarded!

I had the same problem.
It is one of the hacks you have, I don't remember now which one it was, only that you couldn't tell by it's name
that it affects pets. You can't do anything about your stuck pet's pregnancy, but future one's will sure be all right.
I searched it this way:
If you don't know which one are hacks use "Sims2PackCleanInstaller" or "Download Organizer"
(both you can find on modthesims2.com) to sort your files, It will tell you which one are modifying game,
those are hacks.
Put them in seperate folder. You might want to remove all other packages, so that game will load faster.
Now, take half of them and put in temp folder on your desktop. Start your game, create test family with a couple of pets and put them on seperate lot
(You can't simply delete this family after, search forums on how to do this right, I persanally keep it for testing)
Now, you should impregnate your cat or dog, whoever you created( you can use cheats to make their relations suitable for woohooing). And wait four days ( to be sure), use cheats to keep their motives fresh . Don't save game!!!
If Puppies will appear then bad-bad hack is in temp folder if not - in hacks folder
You put good hacks in "Good" folder on your desktop.
Take half of bad hacks and repeat from start
If you have 1000 hacks it will take you 10 tries
Good luck!

I wondered if the lotdebugger would let you nuke the pregnancy. Pes put an option on it to nuke that borked pre-made pregnancy in Seasons. DK if it works on Pets - I don't have that EP - but surely worth a look.

ok, did the hack thing and it's almost like nightlife was erased (no cars, no vampires or teleporting) and it still didn't work. I think what I'll have to do is take out all CC and if that doesn't work re-install (and/or a combination of both).

I don't have Pets, but I have Uni, NL, and Glamour Life. It happens to me all the time, usually when I leave the lot with a pregnant sim in it. Sometimes, even when I wait all the pregancy days in the lot.
I fix it without problem with the SimPe.
1) Take care you are in PlugIn View.
2) At the upper line: Tools->Neighbourhod Browser; click, open the hood.
3) Again: Tools->Neighbourhod -> scroll to Sim Browser, click. A pictured list of the sims is presented.
Type on your keyboard the first letter of the sim's private name. When you see it's picture, highlight it, and click on "open".
4) Choose the section "Other". Check the "Pregnant (Full)" in the middle column.
Click on "commit" at the right upper side
. Without it, nothing will be saved in the sim's file.
Save the game (File->Save).
- Again, without it, nothing will be saved.
Enter the lot, and your sim will give a birth.

Weird - it works for me already half a year, no problems at all.
Did you download the SimPe version compatible with the EP you have (Pets/Seasons)? - may be this is the problem.
