LOL I don't like it but I guess I don't have a choice but to accept it LOL I don't play with pets as it is because they are so incredibly unrealistic. I have yet to have a cat in real life that gets sick as much as my cats in game. Thanks for letting me know! 

@MadameNordica  if you go into the manage household settings and press the configure button (I'll attach an image to show you what it is), you can manage all the neighbourhood options and turn off the pet adoption option for households

@Idiosyncratic53 THANK YOU I haven't really played around with them yet so it's good to know that's an option! I've considered deleting all the pets I can find from any family but ya know that's a lot of work LOL

This is the best addition ever to this topic. I was thinking this option always end with a human kid, but this is so much better! Thank you, team.

OMG Now that I have completed the neighborhood Confidante aspiration, every single world is crawling with kids!  They are everywhere!

Discuss expend family is another setting as Neighbourhood Stories. I have NS since release complete disabled in game settings. So, I only get NS if I push it via social input from me (I ignore most NS call complete in my vanilla game). Now I can go for this aspiration with my supersim and still have something from it. Dogs and cats can stay. Babys/toddler/kids will always be deleted if I get this result from this topic.

Yeah NOW, but not at first.  Three different Sims finished that aspiration before the new settings came out.
