Have your pets been extra needy since Seasons?

If you don't mind mods, LittleMsSam has a mod called "Obsessed Pet Pet Fix". Description is as follows, "Since the Seasons Patch Pets are initiating Petting of Sims which makes Sims obsessed with petting them over and over again. This hopefully stops them."

You'll find it at http://littlemssam.de/random-bug-fixes/ - it's one of her many small bug fixes she has put into one download. You just have to run this one tiny mod to fix the obsession with pets until EA fixes it. There's a bunch of small mods in this file. Just use the Pet Pet Fix if you want a relatively mod-free game. her work is top notch. Always updated. Always being fixed if something breaks. I don't know when she finds time to sleep!
