It wasn’t an easy decision to come to, https://twitter.com/HyperboleGrant/status/899691090839818241 but they stand by it: https://twitter.com/HyperboleGrant/status/899690045652832258 https://twitter.com/HyperboleGrant/status/899695278168649728

Heterochromia for Sims?

From the CAP Twitch livestream:

• There are not three-legged animals because everything would need reanimating so would limit other development, but also because it's sad/depressing. (editorial comment from me: there seems to be a nudge against making things that are depressing in game, even if we wouldn't all find it depressing)
  
• Re not adding small pets: Feedback on previous versions was that there was never enough to do with cats & dogs so they decided to go deep with them instead of also adding small pets.
  
• Re. horses, says Grant: "We cannot talk about future content" but also "That is not a confirmation that they are happening or not happening" and please don't yell at him about it.
  

And Other Stuff

From the CAP Twitch livestream:

• The new radio station is Singer Songwriter.
  
• The pets are voiced by real people. (Also, there are people who only record cat and dog voices for a living! And there are people who specialize in fox voices and raccoon voices!)
  
• One reason it takes a long time to get pets out is they have to fundamentally rebuild engine for four-legged creatures.
