I was curious what everyone thinks about the pet adoption drive that seems to have started with For Rent (excuse me if this game with an update or other pack, I never noticed it till I got For Rent!). I like the idea of it, but the pet adoption drive started in the middle of the night for my sim and lasted like 12 hours. I wonder if this is by design or not.If I didn't lock my front door for all pets, the strays would be all over the house. There's an 'assignment' to pet cats/dogs 5 times. For me this completed without my sim ever petting a cat or dog. Even if you give the command to pet, the interaction just doesn't happen, but it counts for the assignment. After the assignment is completed, the adoption drive still doesn't end until the time runs out. I think it's way too long. In the meantime, nearby sims seem to be annoyed by the pets that beg for food.What are your thoughts? 🐱🐶

I’ve had the pet adoption drive for 3 days in a row now and I absolutely hate it. I can’t x out of it. It’s a heatwave so these animals are miserable.

I HATE the pet adoption drive and i got to this page from searching for ways to turn the stupid thing off. Its annoying to begin with plus it is broken.

@IrisuChan Did you use the commend tenant option or did it just start on it's own ? For me that's always what triggers it. There's a thread in the bug forum currently for it being too long and excessive (I'm tending to it being feedback personally)

Me too. It happens about every other day for me but since it lasts 12 hours it feels like all the time. I think it would be fun if it were shorter and you could request it, like turn it into an event you can plan.

@IrisuChan Honestly - it doesn't make sense to me that it does.

Oh I didn't know that it would happen after using commend tenant option, I did use that just before it happened! thanks for this, I'll follow the other thread for updates. 🙂

@SimmerJaime803 days in a row 😶 oh boy.... I haven't had the chance to play that much with the new pack, but that does sound absolutely dreadful 😅 hopefully it's a bug and can be fixed soon.

it starts on its own for me, no relation to the commend tenets interaction. i'd at least like to be able to cancel it, as some of the strays are sick and locking the door isn't actually working. not to mention it follows across units

We really need a way to stop this! I have a bunch of animals in my house and I can’t get them to leave. This pet adoption drive was 13 hours long. Even after it was over the animals are still all over and there’s no way to get them to leave.

the drive happens way to often and is nothing but trouble. I hope EA fixes this soon. four times in one week is overboard and it ruins the game play as a landlord. give us a way to either x out of it or stop them from happening. However like most things like this EA will likely wait for modders to fix it first.
