Ridiculous 'follow' obsession

As for my no-wolf/stray issue, I took out nostrayrespawn last night before playing Desiderata, and immediately got strays on the first lot I played. Didn't see a wolf until I used the NPC spawner on the mailbox to spawn one, but now there's one in the hood at least. So I guess nostrayrespawn keeps any strays or wolves from spawning in a new hood. Now that I have some, I can put nostrayrespawn back in.
Excellent strategy! Glad I thought of it. :-[ I will try this.
That's a good side effect for my 'hood-in-building. There aren't supposed to be any plants or animals on the mainland. No life, period. I'm going to set the visitor controller to ban all critters, but not having those character files will be nice. Right now, absolutely everyone is banned (no bills, not that it matters), though somehow the gypsy still showed up to drop off a lamp. No one was over 6 points in enthusiasm and no one had a LTA bar even a fourth full or was permaplat. ::)
In Teardrop Isle, without having wolfwatchers at any point, I do get wolves on lots. Like with the other EP setups, wolves are more likely to show up on heavily treed lots, and I've definitely noticed that in play. I only have two stray pets left, which I need to get adopted into families or given to the pound, but the suckers never show up when someone is on the lot. Stupid tiny jack russell terrier and overgrown chihuahua thing!

Can't you also adopt strays via the tele-ma-phone? If you're tired of waiting for them...
jsalemi:
I'm not sure if the pool of pets on the phone is the same as the pool of strays that wander lots. Maybe if you exhaust the pool on the phone, it gets filled with the strays?
Jelenedra:
I wasn't sure. I rarely do pets. I have it installed for the Space Theme furniture for the kiddos.

They are not the same pool. However, the dragooning of strays occurs if you have a piece of Awesomeware installed, nostrayrespawn. If you try to adopt pets and the adoption pool has been depleted, nostrayrespawn causes the game to start catching strays to offer prospective pet-adopters.
