@solvorsh - It's a distinct possibility, lol. Not entirely sure when I'll be able to, as I don't have the funds to get the xpac right now. But keep on the look-out!
I got a cat in my ISBI and make sure my TH looks after it. So far only my TH has interacted with her, but we'll see. I haven't played long enough for a full ISBI update yet, I'm getting frustrated by wild toddlers who throw their food away every time they are given some and then have tantrums because they're hungry.
@Lynnwood I did a test yesterday for about 12 hours with a couple families to see just what those of us who play mostly autonomous can expect with the addition of pets. I hope you find it informative since you can't get the pack yourself yet: Cats & Dogs: A Study in Autonomy.
As far as penalties go the dogs don't pee in the house even if they are about to lose their mind needing to potty so that's out. The sicknesses seem to be fairly random and happen pretty often so I doubt that's a good one either. Maybe the cat's litter box being full but then everyone would be stuck with those little dinky ones. I like the laser one! So really, I suppose losing a pet to social services is really the only one I can think of.
@ginnymalfoy22 - Yay for your Sims cat, and boo for fussy toddlers. I must admit that I was one of those that didn't REALLY miss the toddler life-stage all that much, and for this very reason lol. But good luck in future!
@Rainydayz179 - Yay, tyvm for the info! That definitely helps. It's looking like you're correct in that there isn't much I can add, really, as far as fails go. And without good fails, it's kinda unfair to add in more ways to earn points, it unbalances things a bit. But I'll definitely add losing a pet to the social worker as a fail, as that is on pair with losing a child to social services or having an accidental death.

Glad I could help. I find it very unrealistic that pups won't have accidents in the house. And that cats with a full litterbox will just cry until it's filled. Oh! But there is one thing... cats scratch up furniture. But there's no real equivalent for dogs that I've seen.
I really want to do this challenge. I got sims 4 as a Christmas present two Christmases ago (so basically a year! :O ) and I'm just now getting into the forums. I've been reading some of the challenges you linked on the first page that people have done of this one, and it is hilarious! So excited to try this one out!
In the Sims 3 version you were required to have a hamper if you had the expansion...is that going to be a rule here if we have the laundry pack? I'm probably going to do it that way regardless.
Hello Lynwnwood! Can you add my ISBI to the list of stories? It's a little unattractive right now, since I'm not great with photoshop or site design, but it will improve:

My ISBI story I figured I should actually post it here since you seem to keep track of them. ^^
