So NO rabbit CAS in pets?

chingyu1023 · February 2017

I mean WHY would there be horses CAS as an uncommon kind of pet but not a common pet rabbit CAS, when you cannot use horses as traveling tool running around open world?

There are variable breeds of rabbits with different fur types, ear types, colors and sizes. They are definitely more popular and relatable than horses.

You may see the breeds here:
http://www.rabbitbreeds.org/all-rabbit-breeds.php

They have different personalities too. Some of them are more afraid of noises and some of them like causing troubles. Some of them are clingy and some of them are energetic and like jumping around the house.

Rabbits can be living in the house like cats and dogs in real life. That's what my little bunny does. I don't want rabbits in sims to be interactive objects inside a cage.

If someone in the development team sees this, please take this as a consideration. Thanks a lot!

1.Rabbits aren't that kind of interest.
2. If you think horses are only traveling tool running purpose-only, than I can argue that rabbits aren't usually the free-roaming animal, therefor they should stay as an objects.

Nevertheless, I do agree on the whole idea. The Sims 4 is really lacking of anything NEW in the game. We need playable and cas rabbits.

'Whe horses and no rabbits' Well I'm sorry but the most simmers care more about horses than rabbits, to me it seems kinda random to include rabbits in cas. It's fine for you to have your own opinion tho

Andygal · February 2017

Most people aren't that interested in rabbits, a lot of people are interested in horses.

Rabbits are so cute ! I would love rabbits too

drake_mccarty · February 2017

Rabbits could be added. They've added smaller animals in previous EP's - birds, guinea pigs, squirrels, lizards, etc. Now they probably won't have very many specific animations, because the packs general focus will be on the larger animals: dogs, cats, and potentially horses.

Busufu · February 2017

Are there any new news about pets or why does @chingyu1023 know that there will be no rabbits?

ShinobuTypeError · February 2017

Just because you probably won't be able to create rabbits in CAS doesn't mean they won't be included as a minor pets like birds and lizards were in the past. Maybe there will be a rabbit cage object with several types of rabbits to choose from, like the bird cage usually has several types of birds to pick from.

I lot of people are bashing rabbits here

poor fluffy little guys! I'd love rabbits in TS4. I'd expect if they were added they'd be restricted to a caged or fenced in area, but if they were fenced in outside you could still send your sims out to play with them! I'm not in any way a horse-lover, so I'd use rabbits way more than horses, but breeding with either would be fun!

I'm not expecting horses to be all that great, I expect many will take the addition of horses as a reminder that TS4 doesn't have an open world and in that sense in much more restrictive than previous games (kinda like the uproar with not being able to build your own apartment complex but not as extreme). I'm hoping for a variety of rodents (rabbits included) cause kids still really need more gameplay. I don't expect cas for them, but that just means I'll be doing even more breeding and I'm not complaining about that (HURRAY FOR ALL THE TINY ANIMALS!) Maybe they'll add in a pet shop and we can all experiment with breeding there and then have sims buy the one we think suits them. I can dream.

horse lovers everywhere

but I would love to see wabbits in cas and not in cages. they are such sweet and social animals. my sim children would be crying all over their freezer bunny paintings if they won't be able to befriend them

I do agree with you, I don't really care for horses and I rarely used them in TS3, they need too much space and most Sims 4 lots are so small I don't see how they're going to be very playable. I'd rather have rabbits, too, but I'm hoping that even if they aren't CAS-able that they'll be added as a minor pet at least. I'd rather have exotic pets like foxes or owls over horses, too. I know it's not cool to have stuff like that as pets in real life but this is a fantasy game so I'd like to indulge my wish to have a fox for a pet in a digital manner, lol.

If rabbits are included, I would consider them as an option for a pet for my sims. Like many other animals, I know they can make great pets. I don't think this needs to be about rabbits vs. horses. It will feel like a step backwards if horses don't get included in 4 at all. After the toddler update, I look forward to seeing what they will do with pets this time.

comicsforlife · February 2017

just because we haven't seen them in cas does not mean they wont be

budewarmin · February 2017

I never played with horses in sims 3, went as far as to remove them entirely from my game. I would prefer rabbits ways more, horses just take too mush space and sims 4 does not have that much of it to begin with.

luthienrising · February 2017

I'd love to see bunnies as a housepet option! I lived with a rabbit for a year or so. They've got personality and are such troublemakers (well, that rabbit was) that it could be fun. But I've seen more requests for guinea pigs or hamsters as housepets than rabbits.

TJKazuha09 · February 2017

You know what? You probably want to have CAS for every single minor pets instead. I can ask for the same thing for butterflies with your argument.

Plus, I think Horses are a lot more interesting than rabbits.

Yay, guinea pigs ftw

Some of the replies in this thread are really off. I think putting horses into a closed world is an absolutely ridiculous idea, no matter how many people are assumed to like them more. There aren't even any cars, so where would sims ride a horse? Around a 2x2 lot? That doesn't sound very exciting.

I agree with you OP, rabbits would seen to suit TS4 more than a useless horse.

Busufu · February 2017

Agree with Pary, I really loooooove horses (in real life) but I absolutely can't imagine horses in the sims 4 where there is no space and no open world.
But let's see...

Heidr · February 2017

By the time they add Horse/Cars, they probably have implemented a new concept that makes it possible for dynamic gameplay in your home lot. But then, you have to remember that we used to own car in a 10x10 lot (Sims2) and it's even animated beautifully unlike the teleporting car in sims 3. Also, don't forget about the future. Maybe they'll be making a car that a sim can keep in their pocket or a magical horse that can be summoned like a familiar.

But btw, I like almost all animals, but I find it unfair and unnecessary if a minor pet like rabbit can be edited in CAS. The most possible customization implementation is to make them able to be styled like objects. I wouldn't want to wait for many months for that though, unless they are going to add dragons or other mythical creatures as minor pets.

I guess it's a good thing that we don't have any 2x2 lots, then, isn't it! We do, however, have large lots and some very large neighbourhoods, which can be pathed for Sims (and presumably horses) without needing roads wide enough for cars, and there's no reason to think that horses couldn't be ridden right through that whole neighbourhood, or even be programmed to head out and use a whole mostly-pasture neighbourhood surrounding a lot. Yes, there will always be people who prefer an entire open world, but it's simply not true that we're limited to tiny lots in our activity in this game.

1) "There aren't even any cars" --Present simple tense! Are doesn't mean there won't be + The Sims 2 was closed world and had cars.

2. 2x2 is a problem? Then why not introduced a new world with bigger lots, or better yet: an in-game world edittor.

Butterflies aren't actually house pets and comparing them to rabbits blutterflies don't "do much". Like, I don't think they could do enough interactions to stand out as something playable, and there aren't much animations that would make them an outstanding creatures. It would just be absurb to make them playable, while rabbits aren't much that "minor" as you think they would.

budewarmin · February 2017

I feel this community is too much about this vs that actually. I wish there would not be a need for people to fight over bunnies or horses, because lets face it saying that horses are more important will do nothing to convince bunny lovers that their beloved pets are not important and the same goes for horse lovers. It would be better to have both possibilities, since sims is known as a game with tons of possibility it actually seems odd that fans fight over which fans deserve their game style and which dont. Having the choice of both in CAS would be most optimal solution I think.

If you had a CASt then a CAS for butterflies would be awesome
