All pets and the Sim start out as friends this way, which means you can breed them right away. The absolute easiest way to breed pets in The Sims 4 is to create a new household with at least one Sim and two pets of the same species and opposite gender. Only adult female dogs and cats may become pregnant, and only adult and elder males may impregnate females. Make sure to adopt adult animals for breeding purposes – or at least adult females. Strays are not spayed or neutered, so you can breed them right away (if all other conditions are met).

Or they may not be the correct age (or both). In some cases, all the pets in the adoption pool may be spayed or neutered.

Make sure the animal you adopt is not spayed/neutered or you won’t be able to breed them! Check the pet adoption pool for un-spayed or un-neutered pets to breed. Go to Household > Adopt and then choose if you want a cat or a dog. You can also adopt pets on the computer in The Sims 4. To adopt a pet, use your Sim’s phone to “Hire a Service” and choose to either “Adopt a Cat or “Adopt a Dog.” It’s always a fun surprise to see how you get! Adopting Pets to Breedįor the best chance of breeding success, have your Sim adopt strays or two pets of the same species (and opposite sex) from the adoption center. If you have space for three more household members (five or less total), there is a chance your pet will have 1, 2, or 3 babies. There’s also a random component to how many offspring your pets can have. You can have up to seven pets in a single household, with one caretaker Sim. The maximum number of pets you can have in a household is seven – since you need at least one Sim to be a caretaker for the animals. If you have a full household, you won’t be able to breed your animals. In The Sims 4, a household can only consist of eight members – including Sims and Pets.
