Pets Are NOT Playable!

    Welp that's a bit of a tear in my heart. I do not understand the whole point of not wanting them to be playable in game. Just like what Mirita said I do not trust the AI auto in here. I also had plans for them in a story revolving around them but now I guess that can be discarded off the list...

    I got very stressed out training my pets in Sims 2. Now that was very lifelike for both my own pet dogs.

    I hope you can get one from the dog's home fully house trained like my second one!

    Maybe they might include a cheat that lets us control pets, like in Sims 2.

    If not, the modders can probably fix it.

    I'm fine with this. It was always a bother to control them because i like to play with autonomous actions off. Aaaand this is more realistic also :lol:

    I'm glad I won't have to put on a dog mask and go eat kibble anymore.

    I can't wait. Wonder if I'll end up with an evil cat like I have IRL. He only loves my son and hates the rest of us.

    Woot. This is exactly what I wanted, so it's all gravy, baby. B) Now I'm just keeping my fingers crossed for pet shows and a color wheel in regular CAS and Buy mode.

    I think this is actually a good thing for realism. They will feel more like actual pets this way

    In the minority but I don't like this. Could pets not be spontaneous without removing this option? People not wanting to control them could choose not to but those that wanted to could.

    I wish they were making them like in sims 3, controllable for those who want to control them, and for those who don't they can control their own selves. I didn't like sims 2 pets as it was so hard to build up relationships with your pets, and so many times I was afraid the dog would run away from home due to low social or not eating. I would fill their bowls and sometimes they were near starving and only then would they eat. I would purposely get another dog for my dogs to socialize with each other so I didn't have to have my sims always socialize with the dogs to keep them happy, and just about every darn time, both dogs wouldn't socialize with each other, leading to their having very low social unless I kept up with socializing with them, and I spent a lot of sim hours doing that very thing which made it less fun.

    I was excited at first when I saw this, and was so ready to buy, but now this might be a deal breaker for me. I am going to reserve judgment and look at the live stream when it comes out, and other reviews before I plunk down 40.00. Sigh.

    hahaha I almost spat my drink on to my PC reading this I must stop reading threads while drinking something-) mine just does not act like a cat at all he constantly looks at me as if I am stupid especially if I buy him something he doesn't like or try to play with him using cat toys he just gives me that look and wanders off slowly..

    so this is your cat then :)

    For those that want to control them don't fret, TS2 has a cheat to control pets and I'm sure TS4 will too.

    Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.

    In the past it could be very annoying at certain times. Like when they were stuck and you couldn't make them eat and they died. I hope there will be a cheat. It could also be annoying when everyone else was asleep and the pet slowed down the time to slow speed and you just wanted them to go to their bed, so the game could return to ultra speed and the dog or cat wouldn't die because of fast time, if they were asleep. I hope there is a cheat...please.
