Successful breeding of Pets? «12345...Next Go

Has anyone been successful yet in getting your pet pregnant? I have 2 pet raccoons that have mated 3 times but I still don't think the one is pregnant. Are there any tips you have??

I just kept breeding mine until it worked! It helps to be friendly with them of course! Maybe there's certain traits that help? I'm not too sure however as you can't see their friendliness towards each other, which would be helpful XD
Though I found it fairly easy and could get it done in under a sim day :D

Make sure aging is on

Yes my aging is on. Do you know how long it takes until their pregnancy shows after mating?

Took about 10 times to mate ..and then I had two male pups:)

Wow 10 times?! Hopefully it doesn't take me that long. Now my female raccoon Asparagus ran away! So the wait is prolonged yet again! GRR Haha

It took me about 5 times to get my female dog pregnant.

There's at least one mod reported to be interfering: Enable Advanced Debug/Cheat Interactions

Also, I think the pets get friendly naturally overtime (Or less friendly) Just we can't see it! So keep them both happy and it will probably get easier! Though this is just an assumption from what I've witnessed. Don't take my word for it XD

I had two dogs for about 3 sim days; I think it helps if the female dog is noticeably in heat (with hearts and two dogs in a thought bubble over her head). When my dog was in heat, it only took one time for her to get pregnant and have 3 puppies! I've only tried it once so I don't know if it's an anomaly or not that it worked so quickly.

I got mine to work first time... It wasn't many sim hours until it told me either and I have long ageing on if that matters?

I had my cats mate twice. They had two kittens.

After mating, I got a pop-up that said wait 1 day or so in order to see if she is pregnant.

I tried getting my cat to mate with different strays on the lot. I think Ive tried 4 different cats, a few times each. Still nothing. I wanted to adopt another cat to make it happen, but they're all neutered.

The only way I finally managed to have mine mate was to adopt a stray. She wouldn't with a neighbors pet or a stray until they were in the same household. No matter how well they got along. :\

Thanks everyone for the responses! When Asparagus finally returns home I will try the mating process again!

I tried almost 20 times, literately, and nothing is happening. Idk how this works out with strays...

It took for me only just 1 or 2 times and it's work..! 3 little puppies :3

And I didn't do anything spécial..

Hmm. It seems to be really random as far as how long it takes to become pregnant. Some say it took once others say it took 10 or more times. I'd be interested to see if there is any rhyme or reason to it.

I don't know how to get my pets to breed. I've tried with two different families. I asked the pets to mate at least 40-50 times each and even if they did mate, it never resulted in a pregnancy.

Yesterday, I tried with my pit bulls about 5 times and it didn't work. Today, I tried 2 times with my chihuahuas and it worked the second time, I even got a notification saying that "Kiss" was expecting !

In my case, it just works when I have the two pets in the same household. :/

If they don't mate it's because there relationship isn't high enough or the don't like one another.

I'm having a hard time with this as well. I'm trying to get my cat to mate with a stray that lives by the docks.
I know the cats have to have a high relationshiop but how can you do that when they aren't controllable? My Sim doesn't have the option to "encourage them to be nice to each other"....just encourage to mate. Any help would be great!

Yeah tell me about it. Ive been trying to get my cat to mate with literally ANY stray, but it just won't work. I'd rather not use the household slots and add another opposite gender cat just to get them to mate. Idk how else to build those relationships up when they aren't controllable. Kind of frustrated that its *this* difficult. Legit spent the last 2 real time hours trying to get any sort of results.

Whelp, I finally at least got my cat to mate with another cat! Buuuut it took me having to create a female and place her in the household/family for it to work. Which makes no sense, because they had not interacted with each other before that point, and it still worked on the first try......Literally both of the other cats listed (strays) had denied my male cat 20+ times, so the only reason that I can think of is that it has something to do with my Sim being decent friends with the family's new cat?
Now fingers crossed for a kitten or two!

I have tried mating several times but with no luck. Last time I even got a note that my dog is pregnant and then one saying that she is in labour and finally I got to name two girl puppies but for some reason puppies haven't been borned no matter what notes have said. They don't show up in my househould. Maybe it's a bug?

//Now I noticed that one of my sims had the puppy in her relationships and once I called the puppy to come she showed up on the list of my sim family members on the bottom of a screen but I still can't find the other puppy.
