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 househ...

    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.

I’ve never had this issue with MCCC before, but I’ll definitely check!

[edit] Okay, so, since I’m compulsive I save my entire Sims folder in 3 places every night after I play, with a script. One of those places is a NAS where I can roll back to 3/14 if I want to (2 weeks). I just read and found several—not all, but several—of these pet pregnancies in mc_cmd_center.txt, a log file in the MCCC mod folder. It specifically mentioned pets from my played households on the 13th and the 19th.

As such, I’m willing to declare Neighborhood Stories not guilty! I’m turning that off and if I get more pregnancies later I’ll reconsider. 😉

[Edit: There doesn't seem to be a "bypass played household" switch under pet pregnancies in MC Pregnancy. Spay and neuter your pets, y'all! 😉 ]
