More Awesome Than You!

When all Sims on a lot are asleep or at work, the game goes into fast mode until at least one Sim is on the lot and awake. But now, if the family has a pet, the game will remain at normal speed as long as one of the pets are awake.

I'm aware that sometimes pets do cute things while the Sims are asleep, but this really makes the whole game go too slow. If I manually choose speed 3 while the Sims are asleep or gone, often a Sim will wake or come home and do something stupid before I get the speed turned back to normal. And since pets are not controllable per se, I don't see the need for the game to remain at the slow speed.

So is it possible to get a mod that will make it where pets are ignored as far as determining the game speed?

I would like to second this request.

me too me too I want it too!

Thirded. I keep missing stuff too when I manually fast forward.

And while we're on the subject of pets, is there any hack that makes pets all born in the same litter, not have all same personality?

I'll fourth this one for the reasons listed above. ;D

Push 3.

Since I'm a cheating bastard, but I don't have pets yet; I have a suggestion. the insiminator has a motive item that can reduce energy to 0%. Use that on the pets when it's time for sims to sleep. If they restore like toddler, use it again if they wake up before the sims.

I tried making this request when OFB and the never-sleep servo's came out and was booed, laughed, and pointed at.  Good luck getting this amended.
