Whilst playing the Dreamer household, I noticed that Maxis EA have decided to be a bit stingy with the pet chance cards. ![](http://i13.tinypic.com/2w6ywqq.jpg)

The programmers probably based the bonus on EA's bonus/overtime policy towards them. ![Cheesy](/smf/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

That would explain why the expansion packs are always so buggy ![Cheesy](/smf/Smileys/default/cheesy.gif)

Did you actually get a floating $0 after seeing this?
It does sound liek real life.

The DOG allegedly used a machine?? WTF? That surprises me far more than the lousy "bonus".

Not only that, but from the way they put it, it seems as if he actually built it.

All the chance cards are wiggy in that way. They have pets doing things like making speeches and firing each other. A mystery of the Maxian mind.

Ugh. I hope someone more awesome than me makes a hack with more sensible text on all the pet career chance cards before I get this expansion. ![Tongue](/smf/Smileys/default/tongue.gif)

That is dumb. Making speeches and firing? Shouldn't they be restricted to pulling Timmy out of the well?

Not sure whether I did or not, I was too busy gazing with my mouth open at my lack of bonus ![Smiley](/smf/Smileys/default/smiley.gif)

I think we are going to need more than a hack for this problem. I am thinking PATCH. and God only knows how long that will take them. ![Roll Eyes](/smf/Smileys/default/rolleyes.gif) It is rather funny though. They could have a least gave him a doggy treat. lol

Don't look now but they're going to kill you.

Haha, well at least the bonus was realistic this time instead of like 50k

My cat got a $10,000 bonus. Actually, the pets are pretty good earners, and they don't cost that much too keep. Starting a Legacy with a pet or two would definitely make that first week a lot easier.

i have to send the pets out to work and keep the sim unemployed just so he/she can keep up with the pet maintenance and training ![Undecided](/smf/Smileys/default/undecided.gif) then 2 cats in one household got fired on the first day of their jobs due to me clicking at random on the chance cards they got ( i never read the scenarios to these things i just click whichever option my cursor gets to first) only they weren't actually fired......their jobs remained viable and off they went the next day as if nothing had happened

A "hefty bonus of $0" reminds me of being "critically hit for 0 points of damage. Feel the pain.". It sounds almost sarcastic, when you know it wasn't actually meant to be.

Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I cannot accept, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.

now this is what I call a bonus and she did it all while being pregnant. Chalk one up for us girls. ![Grin](/smf/Smileys/default/grin.gif) At least with this card, it sounds like something an animal could do. Too bad they can't get maternity leave like the sims - it would give more time to teach them skills. My simmies are turning into slave drivers - stay home and watch the new commercials on SimsTV while sending Fido out to earning some simoleans.

![Huh](/smf/Smileys/default/huh.gif) how the heck did she have that kind of money?! That is pretty easy to do with a single sim getting to the top of just about any career track. I am more interested in having nearly 40 family friends. Ha.
