Pets Fight Club?

[aimlesscoyote]

Hello guys!  I notice there's a newer shinier version of The Fight Club for the Pets Expansion, but the RTFM doesn't mention anything about the actual pets fighting.  It only seems to address werewolves and regular Sims.

So is there a Pet Fight Club in the making?  Or is there one that I've simply missed?

Please let me know!  Thanks.

Well, pets don't have anything that allows them to gain aptitudes towards fighting, whereas sims gain body skills. Pets don't have skills, so they have no real way to improve their ability to fight.

maybee a skill like "playfull" or "eats pet food" could be added for fighting?

Pet fighting should be an optional thing -- with a name like "fightclub," you'll have the ASPCA breathing down your neck!

LOL! oh lord I didn't even think about that.  I can hear them now: "OMG Sims Hax0rz Allow Dog Fights!!one!"

I was interested more in increasing the fairness / realism of the fights, rather than hosting actual dog fights.  Although I suppose that could be theoretically possible...

But no, the current "fight winner" system just seems unfair.  Something about an itty-bitty poodle taking down a German Shepherd just doesn't sit well with me, you know?  ;-)

You obviously have not seen a small dog in action. Those things are crazy. The result is a lot like watching Yoda fight, and I find this utterly plausible. Large dogs don't have much fight in them, it's just not a trait that makes one a good pet. If a big dog bites your leg off, it gets put down for being a danger to others. When a yappy terrier bites you in the ankle, this is just funny. So nobody attempts to stop those little dogs from trying.

Hmm, very true about the small dogs = funny.  I never quite understood the humor of being snapped at by a Schnauzer or lunged at by a Lhasa Apso.  But then again, I'm one of those people who go, "what's that? a mop without a handle?  I thought you said you had a DOG."  So perhaps I'm just a tad prejudiced ;-)

It's a pity pets don't have more attributes.  At least "body" and "logic."  Maybe not "mechanical."  (Fifi! Fix my busted carburator!)
