Would You be Okay With More Animals Being Introduced Using the Same Models Already In Game?

Primates like monkeys, apes, gorillas and lemurs should just use normal sim models but should have a unique walking style, Primates have Facultative Bipedalism meaning that they're both Quadrupedal and Bipedal.

LOL if we get a bigfoot it surely could be a sim. i mean

depends on what animal.
Birds getting introduced would need new animations. (and I would love pet ravens in the game aside from the familiars from Realm of Magic.)
On the other hand, foxes could practically use the cat animations. (think there is a raccoon variant under the cat somewhere if I recall correct.)

I'd accept a cow even if it looked only 90% like a cow. But if 50% I'd go nay. The animations, size, textures, sounds and game features would be essential, but it would not need to be perfect. However, if EA creates a cow I'm pretty sure we will easily see it's a cow, I doubt they would take any short cut, besides with all adjustments needed, I don't really think it would save them much work to base new animals on existing models.

It depends on the animal. I mean bunnies could use the size of the cat I guess with long ears. But there is nothing as large as cows currently. I don’t really want livestock to take up space in my family panel, but I want them to be free roaming and have a simple reproduction system. I would like chickens and roosters to be able to roam, or be fenced in and want them to be able to have simple reproduction too. Maybe bunnies are ok as a pet like a cat and dog that take a space, but I’m really thinking about more simple pets, rather like the rodents that don’t take up household spots. I want birds and snakes, tarantulas, turtles, and things like that. No, don’t want them to take up space as family members either. I don’t mind them using the frog boxes, but I’d like to be able to feed them and have their cages cleaned ( for my children to get credit for responsibility ). I can’t see a parrot as anything similar to what we have now either, but I don’t want them taking up family slots either. The same with birds in cages. The only things I can possibly see taking up spaces in the family panel would be things like bunnies ( possibly ) or a ferret or a chimpanze/monkey. But I really do want more pets!

Well, Dust Bunnies have given us a cuddling animation - no, actually that's the cuddling animation seen in HAMSTERS. And maggots.

But they're still adorable.

I mean, I love and want more animals, but I am not sure how viable this is. Maybe item animals like frogs, fish, and bugs (we really should have base game bugs...) could be reskined and released fairly easily. However, I think other animals would probably take more work. Rabbits would seem kind of odd in the MFPS cage.

Not to necropost but if anyone has seen the Farmland trailer, how Arnie made the new animals is a good representation of what I was thinking

Yes, I have. And ... I don't mean to diminish the work he put into this ... but those horses really bothered me, because they were clearly moving like dogs... and the hooves were just... wrong.

That said, I did see a couple of tweets from him on Twitter where he's improved them considerably.
