Pet population explosion?
It appears that some NPC households are adopting unspayed and unneutered pets, which are having a lot of kittens and puppies. I also suspect this might have happened in some of my own unplayed households, but an uncertain whether it happened before or after I marked them played. For example, the Heckings (whom I am not playing) adopted a second dog and now have four, counting two new puppies. I rotated into one household I created to play them for the very first time to find the single cat in labor. It was the first household in the entire rotation, too, [Wait, no, they were second... and the first house didn't have a pet... --edit] but I did end up taking a completely different pet to the vet while I was setting up and you know how, when you take one pet to the vet, every pet you have in every household is there… so at first I thought it was that and somehow they’d had a kitty fling at the vet, but I keep finding kittens in my played households.
Is this by design?
If it includes played households, well. I got out of the habit of making them spayed/neutered in CAS during the bug where that did nothing and you just have to CAS.fulleditmode un-fix then and go do it through gameplay, but if my other rotational household pets are going to litter when I’m not playing them even though their humans can’t do anything without me, I might need an extended CAS.fulleditmode session.
[Edit: It was fairly easy to go into Manage Worlds, go to Manage Households, and edit each household of mine that has a pet and set EVERY pet to fixed. That said, um, I haven't gone in and done that to unplayed households, and some of those are looking a little wild...]
Generally, I read NS is too aggressive if you play long lifespan or with aging off. I really thought cats and dogs are result of adopt and not because pet get pregnant from other pets. // You sure its not from MCC? I know MCC make pets pregnant and this rather aggressive if you don’t play the family + don’t edit the default settings //
I know pets can get pregnant if they run away and not sprayed (only CAS solution work, Vet spraying never worked for me) but here you need to play this family active.
Edit: If this so I will definitely don’t touch discuss expend family with random sims. I don’t want that my not sprayed pets can have kids without my input.
