So If you have 6 Sims and 2 pets, you wont' get the option to breed until one of them moves out or dies.

It's only because "She" was a male all along, After I changed her to female through CAS she bred fine and had a, LOL Yes, aside from needing both sexes in order to breed your pets, the female can't be a senior, and you have to have enough room in your house for more house members (just like with human Sims), so that in total, there are only 8 or fewer living in your household. Make sure the cats/dogs (including yours) is the correct gender! I was trying to figure out for 3 hours today why the "Convince to breed' option wasn't appearing. I know this sounds silly, but I did it earlier today. in real life almost the only thing puppies do is play! Do you know if this bug exists with kittens?

Sounds very, thanks for the info! I didn't know they put "in heat" in the game! I also didn't know that puppies can't play!!! Um. Perhaps only cats need to be in heat? But yeah, it is supposed to cause them to get little hearts and thought bubbles of other cats :P

I haven't seen my dog ever doing it yet though, and he's been an adult for a while. Yeah, that sounds like what I've read about the heat thing. (For all I know a stray could have been in the yard!) Hope they release a fix for this though, I'm gonna wanna do some breeding too one, I was wondering about those hearts! I have a calico cat in my game so far with a Pug (no chance of mating there! ) and the cat was sitting on the counter and it had a flaming heart thought bubble above its head! Then it jumped onto the cat jungle gym and started singing(?!?!?) and little hearts floated around its head! My first thought is "My! This cat is randy!" But this family has no other cats and it was late at night so my Sim humans were in bed and couldn't tell it to mate with another cat even if there had been one nearby. Still obsessing over puppies can't play issue, lol, but we all have our crosses to bear :P Have seen others have problems with it, so might actually be a huge bug. Make sure they really are opposite gender too, I guess. Don't you have to wait until they're "in heat"? Supposed to show up little hearts around their heads and stuff.
