@simsplayer818 I also try keep multiple saves but honestly it gets to be a lot of work. Plus going back feels like cheating and I do like consequences in my gameplay. I just feel like it’s annoying and unfair that I can’t try save my pets the way you can do a sim. Like there are so many ways to stop grim from taking a sim (pleading, voodoo and death flower) so why can’t I do it for my pets? Granted I haven’t tried voodoo or death flowers for pets so maybe that does work…? Idk I just want to plead for my pets the way I do for sims. It’s like giving the game a little chance roll to try bring them back to life. It kinda helps me decide wether or not they are truly dead you know? I just don’t get why it isn’t an option when we can totally do it for sims.
@simsplayer818 Love that you’re offering all these ideas. All of them are pretty great things worth trying. I’m pretty sure there might even be an ambrosia treat for pets from the vet..?
Still I’m gonna leave this forum open to see if I can one day get the sims team to notice it. We need to be able to plead for our sims fur babies lol
buttercup rattlebag sounds awesome too. (Never played the sims 3 but I know there were snakes? Were they a snake?)
@simsplayer818 haha I can relate to being shut out of your game. I’m scared to open mine because of how annoyed I’ve been at losing whims to the new broken wants and fears system. The fears are so shallow and annoying and the wants are broken and annoying too. I hate how I can’t refresh them like you could with whims (without sleeping or buying that want refresher thing). Also hate how they only cover base game. My game’s been kinda broken since it forced me to get the high school stories patch (I tried to avoid updating but the game made me come off offline mode to login to origin eventually so it forced me to update). I am so annoyed that the patch was forced on me. I really just want to go back to playing with my whims, vampires and werewolves in peace. Plus that stupid incest bug was mega creepy and put me off both my families that had kids in them.
buttercup rattlebag sounds adorable. I’d consider trying sims 3 if I hadn’t wasted so much money on sims 4. I really don’t wanna give anymore money to ea till they fix all this.
I'm also sad that we can't plead for pets.
There's an ambrosia treat and I've given it to at least 3 pets now. There's also the age-down treat, which I often give my pets when they hit elder.
Interestingly, you can bind the Book of Life (reward for completing the Bestselling Author aspirtaion) to a pet, but I've never used it with a pet and am not sure how that would work. I'm assuming I could summon the pet but they couldn't read it to restore their own lives (LOL), but again, I haven't tried.
I've also never tried to Dedeathify a pet. I do know that you can't Dedeathify a child, which also makes me very sad. (I ended up using ambrosia with the child.)
@xochiquetzl_xkvngeez you can’t dedeathify children?! That’s really dark. If anyone should be dedeathifiy-ied it’s kids.
I guess it’s good that the ambrosia works on them at least…? They really need to make dedeathify work on kids and pets (if it doesn’t already work on them which I’m gonna bet it doesn’t if they haven’t even perfected it for human/sim targets of the spell)
I don't think Dedeathify not working on kids is a bug. I think it's "you can't cast spells on children" and this includes Dedeathify. ☹️
I just dug through my Discord and apparently you can't Necrocall a pet, and I ended up buying an ambrosia treat for Rosie Hecking in one save... so I'm pretty sure you can't Dedeathify pets.
@simsplayer818 , FYI, some Simmers have made "rooms" with special items in them that are hard to get in the game, like ambrosia, death flowers, death flower plants, etc. The one in particular that I know of who does this is @SheriGR ! Here is a link to her Ambrosia room (since you specifically mentioned that Ambrosia takes a long time to gain the cooking skill and track down the items, though I think she also has posted rooms with those individual items as well if you have a Sim with high cooking skill. ) The Sims - The Gallery - Official Site (ea.com)
Yes, the Ambrosia Pet Treat is a must, as several others have mentioned!!!! 🥰
@simsplayer818 , I haven't used the premade item rooms in a while, so I wasn't aware of the bug regarding that , so thank you for the info update! 😀 That also seems like a good work-around you mentioned! 😎 Might not help anyone with an emergency needing a certain item, but it is a good system to prevent emergencies in the future! 😅
