How do you manage?

So in the end I started to play an older save, it looks fine now :smile:
It was probably a game error. I am not using any cc/mods and I always play on speed 1.
Since I started, no spray, no vet, everything it's cool.

I'm not sure about skunk spraying my pets often go outside and in one house the cat seems to have a favorite bench but they stay away from the bushes so they haven't been sprayed by skunks at all. One of my cats got sick then the other one then that's it so far they're pretty healthy, I haven't had sims forget anything yet. Maybe it's a bug that could be fixed as for all the pets stuff maybe it's completely random and just needs to be tuned some more, guess we'll see.

1. have not gotten sprayed yet. ( key word yet.....)
2. have not gotten sick yet..
3. my sims do have that problem as well and it is annoying. I did notice that.

(do you know how much I love that they have a fox. >:) :D :) and also a raccoon. )
I am only at the tip of the iceberg with playing this EP.
Super exciting. :)

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 have to brush, wash, comfort, pet, brush, wash...
2. I visit the vet a lot more than I wish...my pets get sick a lot! Like almost every day, is it something happening to you as well?
3. Last, but not least, my sims forget what they were supposed to do. Like in middle of the action they completely reset - food on the floor, or just staring at the toilet, shower, etc.
How do you manage it?

The reset is a major issue. Pets seem to cancel sims action when they want something from them. I've not had to take any of my pets to the vet yet. I did have to use some wellness treats though. I would suggest leveling up vet skill until you can make those at the craft station. In one of my saves, there is a bush right by the house and the pets have gotten bitten or sprayed more than a few times, you can just leave them though. They will be fine after a little time. Dogs if they get sprayed have to have a bath though. If they get sick after being bitten, wellness treats. They can be made or bought at a vet clinic.

Hmm, it's not as bad in my household. I have two adult sims, two kids and two cats. They get sprayed by a skunk or bitten by squirrel all the time, but they take care of themselves like normal cats and I had to visit vet only ones- when female cat got sick. But that was only one time. Other than that, they pretty much clean themselves and are ok in general. I'm not sure if your game is buggy, or if you are just a little bit overprotective ;)

My pets only get sick when I change household. I have two I'm playing, all the same family, had to split and take a dog when the eldest's time to marry came up and it was totally full.
It's incredibly aggravating that they've allowed for rotational play and yet EVERYTHING resets, relationships, pet health, inventories, work uniform...it's ridiculous, no way you can actually progress (not that there's much to progress towards!)
But mega sick of all of my pets being poorly at once and being able to do nothing about it because the game refuses to leave that household as it was and make up its own stories.
Don't get me started on the absent mindedness of ALL of them -.-
