Once you complete the above steps, an agent will bring the pet to your home. Observe the animals’ behavior, traits and try to interact with them. If you enjoy your interaction with your pet, you can finalize the pet and pick Adopt. Unlike adopting babies and children, adopting one pet in Sims 4 will cost you only §200.
Although pets are not controllable, they can be trained to do perform and avoid certain actions. This brings quite a bit of realism to the game and will help you bond with your pet even further.
So this is everything about adoption of pets in Sims 4. Another way to get an animal is to create one yourself. You can use a tool called Create a Pet if you’d like. Through this, you can change your pet animals’ looks, behaviors, features and outfits to however you want them to be.
Plus, if you want to run a clinic as a vet, that option is there as well. This is perfect if you want to treat pet animals and be constantly surrounded by their delightful presence.
Lastly, if you want to adopt a stray, you can simply build a friendship with a stray that you have met. Once the option to Adopt appears, you can adopt the stray as well.
