Domestic pets I'd like to see:
- At least 3 sizes for dogs
- 2 sizes for cats
- At least a handful each of the caged or tanked animals (and different sizes please!)
*Mammals: mice, rats, guinea pigs, rabbits. Ferrets?
*Birds: a pair of lovebirds, canaries, parakeets, cockatiels, parrots. Ducks/Geese in a mini yard pond?
*Reptiles: turtles in an aquarium, tortoises in a terrarium, small constrictors, horned lizards, geckos, iguanas
*Amphibians: already have frogs but could have improved interactions; toads, salamanders, newts?
*Fish: better interactions than 'Look At' and 'Clean'. The option to choose from a few tank sizes and either a few different deco sets inside or add deco as you choose (like the TS2 train table?).
Farm Animals I’d love…
- Donkeys?
- Sheep (...Llamas?) for wool (along with a knitting or crocheting skill).
- Pigs you can either “Trade For Bacon” via phone option, or raise them for ribbon prizes at the Fair.
- Breed ponies and horses for racing; a Del Mar/Oasis Springs racetracks lot would be awesome! Not sure how a gambling option would change the age rating though.
- Building and stocking a chicken coop to collect eggs (if you buy an incubator you can even breed your own chickens!). An important bonus to keeping chickens would be that they eat the bugs going for your veggies, so you no longer have to spray for them.
- Cows and goats for milking (Dairy skill! Milk your animals, then drink it, cook with it, or learn to make butter, yogurt, ice cream, different cheeses…).
- As with our current plants, properly caring for the food animals would raise the quality of their product.
In regards to jobs/careers...
- Dog Catcher: collecting the local strays and redistributing them through adoptions.
*Could also be tied in with a Sims County department of Fish & Game, protecting local wildlife and keeping it in check when animals creep into town.
Raccoon in your trashcan? Bear in the park? Call SC Animal Control!
- New activity lots:
*Zoos & Aquariums
*County Fairs
*Disneyland/Gerbitland!
