    I want to adopt senior animals!

    in The Sims 4 Packs Discussion
    When the game was first announced, one of my first thoughts was how I wanted to have a save where my sim would adopt senior cats and dogs and give them a ton of love and affection for their remaining days on SimEarth (something I wish I could do in real life). Imagine my disappointment when I saw you could only adopt puppies/kittens or adult animals. I mean, would it have been that big of a deal to include senior animals? I hope in a future patch they make it an option but for now I just wanted to see if anyone had similar feelings and whatnot. Anyone agree with me?

    Happy Simming!

    PS. I know I can make senior animals in CAS and add them in to households but you could make the same agrument about making puppies/kittens or adult animals and adding them the same way which would make the whole 'adopt' option pretty much useless.

      I’ve never thought about this, now that you mention it senior animals should be an available adoption option.

      You can adopt strays...you have to befriend them and put in some effort, just like you'd have to do with a real-life stray. Unless you've turned off aging, the strays will age into elders eventually and you'll be able to adopt them as elders.

      I feel the same. Strays only exist in Brindleton Bay and almost none of my families live there. I would've loved to be able to adopt an elderly cat and I do plan to open a sanctuary for elderly and sickly cats in real life once I've settled down somewhere with enough room.

      I think it's always random. Most of the time you'll see adult pets and kittens/puppies there. It's rare to see elder pets as if you have aging turned on die. If elder pet gets taken away or is given away, then you'll see one in the adoption pool.
      I use this trick: If I don't find any pets to adopt, I create one. I go to the Manage Households in Manage Worlds, choose my household and then click on the pencil button. There I can add and create a pet.

      Festivals still happen in San Myshuno and your sim can go there no matter where they live. However, there aren't any new festivals in Brindleton Bay. You can take pets there with your sim, but they won't be able to use most of the objects.

      I guess you could adopt an adult pet and age them up with a cheat. But that's a bit of an immersion-breaking workaround.
