Title: Making your own strays Post by: Jackathyn on 2010 March 11, 09:20:13 I've made a set of strays with nostrayregen on because I hate the fail Maxis ones. However, they're not behaving as I'd expected, ie. roaming around occasionally as true strays. What might I have done wrong? I've placed the animals in a townie family, but that doesn't seem to have been all I needed to do.

Title: Re: Making your own strays Post by: Jackathyn on 2010 March 11, 10:03:40 That explains that.
Making one titled 'Strays' would work, wouldn't it? I don't have one as-is. Title: Re: Making your own strays Post by: J. M. Pescado on 2010 March 11, 11:27:33 It has a magic number, so it cannot just be any fambly. The name does not matter, although naming it that may help keep it straight.
Title: Re: Making your own strays Post by: Jackathyn on 2010 March 11, 11:31:02 Is there a reference list with this number, or might you know it offhand? ... I did just try making a 'Strays' family but yes, no dice.
Title: Re: Making your own strays Post by: Tarlia on 2010 March 11, 12:41:02 The easiest way is probably to make a stray ingame, thereby forcing the creation of a Stray family. An easy way to do this is to give away/sell a pet to a townie. Once the family is created you can move your other animals into it.
Title: Re: Making your own strays Post by: sleep on 2010 March 12, 04:18:10 I used Inge's teleporter cat to move CAS-created 'strays' into a test family, then from there I could make them real strays using the teleporter. They wander onto lots just as they should.
