Hi,

I have Sims 3 Pets, I have the pre-built pet store, and I have the cash register and all the "stuff" that came with the pet store but I don't have the option to make the lot a "pet store" - how can I fix this?

The pre-built pet store when placed into my neighbourhood defaults to something else (usually Academy as that is first on the list).

How can I fix this and why is it happening?

Update: If I "enablelotlocking on" I can get the option for the Pet Store, but when I turn it off it defaults to something else again.

Hmm, looks like no one has bothered to answer this.

But the short of it is that EA released a bugged item-- they tried to fix it in a patch update, by adding the pet store lot zoning, but they never did actually fix the broken register.

So... even if you get the lot to show up as a pet store, the pet store register is still messed up and useless. You've probably figured that out by now, but sadly that's all there is to it.
