Cats & Dogs feedback

There is a mod for that. I wish this were in the game but at least, if you're willing to use mods, there is a way to prevent them.

Thank you @Felicity for that link. I don't use mods when I play but THAT mod I might actually get.

Same here if I get it. I'm more interested in the build/buy part, so going someplace only to have critters everywhere is not my idea of fun. As I'm mentioned before, the only places a pet should be are: home, outdoors with owner, at the vet.

I am enjoying the pets game so far, although I do miss being able to control the pets, sometimes it is easier to let them do some of their own things. What I don't like about the sims pets right now is that pets can go into community lots that I don't think pets should be in. For example a sim goes into a club for drinks and dancing, maybe to listen to a comedian or something. Then there is a nasty pet in there with fleas jumping around. The pet is howling like crazy or crying. I just really want the ability to have at least a door or some barrier that pets can not get through, or the ability to bar pets from some lots altogether. If the staff is working on some additions or add ons, this is great for me. Also, is it possible to age down a pet? A youth potion? I don't know yet.

The pets don't just show the owners are there in the venue and they bring the pets take a good look next time you play you will find the owners are there with their pets it's not a random thing or a glitch

But why would anyone take their pet to a nightclub or restaurant? The mind boggles :D

Restaurant isn’t so odd? (well, in my country it isn’t) But it would only work if dogs would behave like dogs in restaurants: under the table with a drinking bowl.

Developers don't like the idea of providing options for simmers with diverse playstyles. A mod for enabling controllable pets was released, which from the users feedback I heard that have it installed it doesn't interfere the autonomous pets AI for players who simply don't want to control pets (i.e. have pets interact with objects upon simmer's command) and thus are satisfied with it (even those who only have it for the sake of checking stats/info of a pet). If they would just release that as a vanilla feature, it would be a win-win for everyone. Those players who want the challenge of unpredictable pets, they can just ignore queuing up interactions for pets. Those who don't want the challenge - they're welcome to control them.

i actually like this tbh. so if it is "fixed", i hope it's with a trait and not a ban on cats/dogs being anywhere.

In sims 1, there is a sign you can put in the lots that says ‘no pets allowed.’ It was a great solution for those who didn’t want pets on their lots. Something as simple as that should be a fair workaround for everyone.

Oh this is going to annoy me when I get Cats and Dogs guess I will have to mod it out. The park is the only lot I want to see a pet at and that's with its owner not wondering around by itself.
