Always something new

It amazes me how many things I'm still discovering in this game. I've had Pets for ages (it was my first EP), and I've never seen this.








Look at him go! He really wants to kill that remote controlled car. It makes me wonder what other objects have interactions for cats and dogs that I don't know about.

The wolf dog is Vermillion, pet of the Curious family. He used to be a wolf named Noodle, and Nervous owned him for a while, but I gave him to Pascal because things were getting crowded down there. He used to be white too, but I recoloured him to look more like a character from that Jungle Book Shonen Mowgli anime that used to air on TV after school back in the day. As a long-time fan of the books and just about every other adaptation of the story I could get my hands on, I did enjoy that cartoon.

All of my sims seem to own strays (and many of those are wolves). Maybe I should set up a little Mowgli on a Jungle Book themed lot for kicks one day.

My favorite thing about the pets is something I discovered when I was trying a pet legacy challenge once. (It's like a regular legacy but only 5 gens for both pet and human and you have to mate your founder pet with a stray, keep at least one puppy from the litter and mate that one to a stray, and so on.) It was the first time I ever had more than one pet on a lot at once, and I found that whenever you gave one a treat, the others would crowd around and beg for treats too. Just like real life!

(I know, probably old news, but I thought it was incredibly cute. :D)

I miss the RC car. I've never played with it since I heard it can cause Very Bad Things to happen (what, I have no idea though.) Maybe someone else has more info on that or maybe it was just a hoax or something??

Oh, that's a relief! RC cars for everyone now!

Pescado said something like the game plays it as a Sim, so that it has autonomy or something, and so it behaves oddly if you save. Or something. It was a while ago, and I don't remember (obviously) :P

Yes all I remember was reading where people had posted about problems they were having in the game, couldn't enter lots or whatever... and the suggestion "Do you ve a RC car on the lot?" would always come up. But yeah, it was a long time ago and I don't remember it really well. :P
