What I mean is, often you see comments about, for example, the big size of the terrariums in MFPS. I almost never have them in my homes (yes I caved in and bought the pack and I am so ashamed I had to donate to WWF 10 bucks to justify it to myself) due to the fact that you can't let them roam around in your home. It's animal abuse to keep a single pet caged all it's life with it's only contact with another being once or twice a day for extremely short periods of time. So I don't like the terrariums, but I do think they're a good size. However a lot of people want them to be smaller to fit their aesthetic.I know it's all just pixels, but I don't like to think about my sim mistreating an animal :/ Well, except maybe if they're some evil scum, but during regular gameplay. Do you care?

I do care. I don't enjoy being mean or hurting anything even if it is virtual.

I would never be deliberately cruel to animals in real life, nor do I do so in the game. However, I must admit that I don't worry overmuch about creatures that can do a magical spin to change into a different colored collar, kerchief, sweater or what have you.

I don't want the game limited to only good interactions or the right thing to do at all... I would be bored to tears if I only watched movies like that or read stories like that.With MFP.. yes you can let them live in filth .. the consequences are a filthy uncomfortable home for your sim.. that is very noticeable.. and an undying rodent (except from age) that bites ... and of course a disease that will kill your sim and can spread and kill others if you don't cure them. I have a hamster in a few homes that are well taken care of... immediate cleaning of the cages by good responsible sims one (Stardew Valley Abigal)... and I have evil types of sims (Sims 2 Loki Beaker types) that want to spread disease on purpose for his own deviant experimental reasons. I've personally never harmed a hamster or pet in real life and don't plan on starting any time soon. Really.. It's a game not everyone likes to play out Mary Sue over and over. You can take care of your hamsters responsibly.

Do you care about the "abuse" of virtual pets ?

I am against abuse both in real life and virtual life. I don't get upset about the small pets in MFPS because they may seem to be stuck in little cages, but they are able to rocket off into space and go on adventures. My last little friend held raves and was a writer, too. I think that cage is keeping him from blowing up my house. ;)

No. I honestly could care less about a virtual pet. In real life, I have a cat and I adore her but in the sims, I usually don't even play with pets. Because the sims is a video game I don't think too much into how my sims or their pets live their lives.
