Title: Question about runaway pets
Post by: Karen on 2007 February 18, 11:28:27
I have a household with an elder cat who ran away with 1 day left before she would have died of old age.  I reported her missing but so far it's been about 36 hours and no response.  If she hadn't run away, she would be dead by now.  Is there any way to get her back in-game so I can have her age normally and die?  I tried Christianlov's pet teleporter but she is not on the list of pets displayed there.  The lot debugger's Retrieve Missing Sim function doesn't get her back either.  Does anybody know if there is a way to force missing pets to return home by means of some cheat or hack?  In other words, to somehow reset the "ran away" state?  If not, I'll delete her from the family in SimPE.

My pet was returned after about 5 days.

Dunno about how to get them back earlier.

I had controlpets on, and I selected the runaway cat and told it to "run here" or "eat" or something, and that brought it back, but the little runaway icon remains on his thumbnail still.

But something I've been wondering is, what happens if a pet never comes back? Are you stuck with their thumbnail on the family panel forever?

Once the bring back time is over you should get a phonecall that they were unable to find your Pet, and the icon disappears. Dunno what happens to the beast then. It should turn into a stray I think.

I checked my missing cat in SimPE and it shows her as dead (days left = 65535) so I just deleted her from the family.  Hopefully that will take care of it.
