A question about foxes

If my household is living somewhere other than HOB, in say WC for example, and I haven't selected the wild foxes lot challenge, will wild foxes appear or not? I'm trying to work out if I need to install an alarm on the chicken coop or not.

  • I haven't tried, but I'm pretty sure there won't be wild foxes unless that lot trait is active.
    Alternatively, put your coop in a fenced off area and lock the gate for anyone but household members. That way foxes won't be able to steal eggs and chickens. They can still scare them, or get in fights with rabbits, should you have any on your lot.
  • I'm not sure if this holds true or not, but when it comes to cats and dogs you don't see them outside of Brindleton Bay, unless you have a mod that encourages this. I have a feeling it will be this way for foxes and rabbits, and not seeing them outside of the town that comes with CL.

    I'm planning to have rabbits on a different lot, as it would be a bit too chaotic otherwise, but that's useful to know.

    I wondered if it might be like that.
  • I intend to test whether the wild fox challenge will cause foxes to wander the hood when the challenged lot is not active. Guess it depends on whether the game only spawn foxes while you play a challenge actively, or if foxes are tagged in the community area of the hood because there is a challenge lot in that hood. Still, they will obviously not enter non-challenge-tagged lots when played, but would be cool observing them walk by :)
