Am I missing something obvious in the feeding of my pet or is this another one of those great Maxis ideas that is impossible to implement because of poor planning? Is there a way to feed this dog without going into buy mode each time? And is there a way to keep Sims from stealing her food?
It does not appear that any obvious method exists in-game to feed animals people-food. I may consider implementing this as a macro-feature to automatically whip a plate out of inventory and drop it in front of the dog.
I have had a sim who is eating at the table throw food from his plate autonomously to a dog who was hungry and would only eat sim food. The dog may have to be in the room at the time for that to happen though.
J. M. Pescado:
That's be cool to see. I mean, that's how I feed *MY* dogs. I mean, honestly, DOG FOOD? Would YOU eat something labelled "PEOPLE FOOD" that came in little chunks of vile-smelling kibble? I THINK NOT!
Zazazu:
I've seen that quite a bit, and training pets to eat pet food only is first on my list, along with potty training. I suspect it has to do with the sim's personality or dog/cat's personality. Not relationship. I've had a dog's master do it and a visitor who hadn't really even met the dog do it. I haven't been playing with pooches too much (my breeder in Urban Paradise had the dogs confined to the kennel and yard) but have two now in-game. No table scraps yet to observe.
J. M. Pescado:
I don't bother to train them to eat any specific thing. They seem happy enough to eat without being encouraged one way or another.

You obviously haven't played those infernal Crittur dogs. If it weren't for 'controlPets on' (or whatever that cheat-code is), the damn things would have starved. I did have my sims train them toward petfood, but it took a LONG time, and until the training-bar goes from red to green, any pet will refuse a particular activity.
