Re: Why can’t we plead for pets? (Bug or no bug?)

@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.

@maddinwritestuff Absolutely agree with you. I've not been able to even try the Wants and Fears addition yet as it crashes every 4 to 5 mins to my console home screen. Played over 20 years and never known anything like it.
So here's hoping it's being worked on for all of us. We're a pretty devoted fan base...we must be!

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.
