Any way to stop random dogs/cats from spawning?

I thought there was a hack in the directors cut that stopped this, but I realized it wasn't when the game spawned rover.

nostrayrespawn SHOULD block most respawns, but there are some actions you can take which will spawn an animal anyway. Also, you may be seeing a wolf. Those are minimized with noredundancy, but the game still insists on spawning a few no matter what.

Ok, it's probably the wolf. I checked SimPE, and there wasn't a Sim description for the wolf NPC.

SimPE doesn't actually distinguish between dogs and wolves, I don't think - but they would be in a different "family".
