Can You Take Strays To The Vet In Sims 4? A Comprehensive Guide

Can you bring stray animals to the vet in The Sims game? Unfortunately, you cannot take a pet to the vet unless they are a part of your household. This means that only the pets living with your Sims can receive veterinary care in the game.

Certainly! In Sims 4, players have the option to help and potentially adopt strays. To be able to adopt a stray, a Sim must first establish a friendly relationship with the animal. This can be achieved through various friendly interactions. One effective approach is to offer treats and engage in playtime with the animal using a laser pointer. This helps build trust and companionship between the Sim and the stray. As of April 20th, 2023, this method remains effective for befriending and potentially adopting street animals in the game.

In The Sims 4, just as in previous iterations of the game, players have the opportunity to welcome stray pets into their Sim family. These stray pets are generated randomly within the game world. However, unlike townies, who can be managed through the Manage Worlds menu, strays cannot be accessed this way in The Sims 4. To bring a stray pet into their household, a Sim must actively seek them out within the game world and build a friendship with them. This feature remains consistent as of August 23, 2021.
