More Awesome Than You!

This is something that just annoys the crap out of me. When everyone is in bed, except the pet, the game won't go into fast forward..I don't see why it does this, it will for babies, as we can't control them. I think the same should go for pets, could someone make a mod to fix this issue??

Thanks! Karen

It also happens when all the sims are at work and just the pets are at home. I would understand it doing that if you had used the cheat to make the pets controlable, but I haven't and time doesn't speed up. I just use the fast forward button, but it is annoying. When the game is fast-forwarding itself, it will return to normal speed if someone wakes up or something "happens". When you manually fast forward, it doesn't revert to normal speed when someone wakes up or comes home from work.

Hear, hear. This has been driving me up the wall even with controlpets on.

On a similar note, has anyone else noticed how fast pets' hunger bars drop? It's crazy fast. A little bit faster than Sims, sure, but they shouldn't starve if they go three-quarters of a day without food.

I could be wrong, but I am fairly certain this is hardcoded.

Hardcoded, yes, but it's still possible to write a controller to override the speed settings. I'm not saying I'm doing this, just saying it's possible.
