How do you manage?
I have 2 cats and 1 dog in my house. 3 Sims should be easy to manage 3 pets, right? Well...there's something that annoys me a lot: 1. Pets get sprayed every time they get out of the house, so my sims...

In one family i have with my simself is:
1 single mom
1 toddler
3 dogs
how I survive? routine routine routine :lol: . I dunno I find both pets and toddlers pretty easy, I just have a bit of a rotation and I always help them out before hand. put the tot on the potty 2 times, boom they know how to go on their own. tell the dogs to potty outside if I can't take them out at the moment. refill their bowls or have a auto refill pet bowl on schedule. All my human sims eat at the same time so family sized 3 meals a day. Ofcourse in the middle of the day I get a lot of stuff done, everyone's leveling in their own way while following in that rotation.
Now the mother is also a vet, she actually takes her son and the dogs with her to the clinic. He and the dogs help by talking/playing to the pet patients.

For me, to keep both his (the toddler) and the pets needs up while mommy is working is:
I think that's all. When the little one gets tired he naps on the couch. When the pets get sleepy, they nap on the floor or couch. By then It's usually around the time that mom closes the clinic.

For me, to keep both his (the toddler) and the pets needs up while mommy is working is:
- potty chair in the bathroom, litter box: cause everyone's gotta go right? :lol:
- toddler cooler/OR cooler: this actually helps employees, pet owner patients and the main vet needs as well. Also nice for sitting :lol:
- Bookcases: these are good to have for all sims, and I'd make sure there's some toddler books in there. That way they can raise their imagination. I actually had a moment where the dogs were surrounding the toddler that was reading :lol:
- Pet bowls, chew toys, : without saying, I feel this is good in general for a vet clinic since It helps the pet patients needs too.
- Vacuum: because they all make messes, so be prepared...have even two :lol:
- Doggy/Kitty plush toy, blocks: The doggy/Kitty plush blends right in to the clinic theme and it helps the kids too. I do have blocks in the clinic, but a small toy chest could work too. But if one isn't a fan of cluttering with toddler items, just make sure they bring a tablet. For older kids, buy the vet kit doll <3
