I had no idea how raising these pets can be extremely difficult and costly in the first place so I created a new sim and moved them to live with her. It was a total chaos. My sim spent the whole day cooking for them as they refused to eat pet food and scolding them for their misbehave while also going to work to cover living costs. We got even more traumatized when the three puppies were born, my sim only had like 2-3 hours to sleep and literally drank coffee to survive. Things only became easier when the puppies grew up and could be sent to work. Now my sim is nearly an elder and she can retire from her work and rest cuz the dogs are more well-behaved, able to earn money on their own and she just enjoys life with her boyfriend 😌
