Cats and dogs aging control

I would really like to see an option in game were if we turned aging off for our sims. We could control whether cats and dogs still age or not aswell as how long there lifespan can be.

So I was wondering and many others simmers would like this option in game too. This would make playing with cats and dogs more fun. I'm console playing I can't download mods to age them up. Cats and dogs can be only died of old age. But can't do this when sims aging is turned off would please love separate setting for them. 

Thank you.

  • It would be nice to have a separate setting for the pets. You can also buy age-down treats at the vet though - I usually give them one as soon as they age up to elder so I get a double adult lifespan.

    Yes the aged up and aged down treat are good addition that came with cats and dogs but still wish we could control them aging. Just because I want my cats and dogs to be able to age up and eventually died of old age but I would like to be able to control there lifespan. 

    The situation in my game right now. I am a console player who is playing families in rotation with aging off. I'm manualing aging my sims up with birthday cake. I don't have any cats or dogs. When I am ready for my elder sims to pass on from old age I will be moving them to a care home that I built and then I will turn on only active household aging on for them but if my household is full of elders they can't have any cats or dogs to get to the death of old age for pets. This why I think having the option would be more beneficial then me having to try and think of a work around. I love cats and dogs and want to play with them just not sure what to do to be honest. 

    Hope this all make sense. I does to me anyway. I just wish we had more control over cats and dogs aging just like we have with the animals from cottage living with turn on and off their aging in pack settings in game already. 

    Thank you.
