Wow players like talking about doing that stuff to sims pets like that?? :#
@RavenSpit
It never actually occurred to me that digital pet representations in game could lead to RL abuse of animals even unconsciously as maybe (mistakenly) on my part I would never have dreamt anyone would either gain their knowledge about pets from a game or even worse apply those standards in RL. I cannot really blame the game developers for this either as it's just a game and I believe any normal minded person would see it as such. I have always believed in a sims sandbox game as I am (mostly) in control of how I want to play my own game and while I might find some aspects of the way other players theme their playstyle distasteful it is still their right to play the game however they want to. I think if any so called RL pet owner ever takes their pet responsibilities based on a game (any game) they need some serious RL rehabilitation and tested thoroughly prior to ownership of any animal small or large. The other iterations of the game were better in my opinion as @haisin points out small animals could die if not looked after properly and the whole process of looking after smaller animals was definitely more hands on..(so to speak-)
@haisin
I defo miss all the smaller animals from the other series of the game in the 4 series but I am lucky as I still play 2&3 where I have families dedicated to all things animal including all the smaller ones :)
