Creating Puppies and Kittens for Adoption

[J. M. Pescado]

Slightly off topic.  I was playing with a pet shop the other day.   The cats and dogs which are in the display, case are they real characters with associated character files?

Yes, the animals in the display case have character files. The same animal continues to be in the display case basically forever, unless you destroy the display case, which returns it to the free display animal pool. It is not precisely known what happens to animals on display at unowned community lots, and whether these animals are correctly cycled.

I'm under the impression they aren't.  And what happens to the pets bought by townies.  Are they in their inventory? (How weird is that).  Does it generate a character file?   Even maxis couldn't be that dumb right?

Animals bought by townies are not really animals at all, and have no effect. Selling animals to townies is harmless, as the display case will simply pop up the same animal when you restock it. Townies do not actually buy animals, they buy fake tokens of animals which are erased after the pay for them, much like when they buy clothes without being shown any.

(…)but at least if I adopt 5 cats, then 5 more random cats should take their places in the adoption pool?

No, 1 cat. The pool only refills if empty.

I find that ridiculous.  I shouldn't need to adopt all the damn cats just to see one new one in adoption.  Stupid game.

Christianlov over at Mod the Sims as a great puppy/kitten hack.  Your sim clicks on it and it will allow you to choose the parents and if the parent is on the lot,it will give a relationship boost,and if they are not,they only have the memory of them being born.  The Sims will get the wants for a puppy or kitten satisfied,  but not satisfied for obtain a pet.

What I want is a hack to control the number of kittens or puppies born.  I don't want to generate huge numbers of pets I don't have families for. 

At the same time, I want some of the pets to spawn.  If I control the numbers, I'd be much happier.

Ahhh if only there was a Texas Chainsaw mod that made unwanted pets and sims edible with a complete associated file wipe. 

oh that would be a fun way to clean up your files. can it be done? Probably as i just remembered thats basicly what the NL-unpatched gypsy potion would do to your sim, they would just *poof* disappear off the face of sim earth.
