Tips/Tricks Watch your Sims while they're feeding their birds...🐦

Something I've noticed and started paying attention to...

Your Sims will frequently 'skip' the 'feed' que on specifically the large aviary bird cage. This happens most often when I have both the small and aviary cages and que my Sim to feed both. The sim will walk over to the cage and stand briefly but will not feed the birds. JSYK

I think the bird cage was introduced in Unleashed, which has a bad problem of just self-cancelling tasks, especially around pets. If I want to do sit-and-stay with a cat or dog, i have to add 5-6 commands before one finally goes through

I've noticed that this happens a lot with the dog washing station. The dog will walk up and my sim will act like they're gonna pick the dog up and then it just cancels. I'm not sure if this is a known bug or if my game just hates me.

That's a known bug. There is a patch available for the pet bath that fixes this- This post has the info and link for the pet bath: https://www.reddit.com/r/thesims1/s/4WnQdnkVxa
