No Stray Respawns
twink:
You know when you install an expansion pack all your lots reset....low hunger, bladder, people all at home, etc., well taking out the no stray hack resulted in all my neighborhood resetting. After thinking this over maybe it is because strays are secretly updating their numbers which reset the lots.

If you use this hack and use DAC to clear your neighborhood of useless gutter trash, then use the Pet Adoption Service option on the telephone, will the game not generate any pets to be adopted? Or will it create an entire new pool? I tried doing this on a test neighborhood, wondering if it would regenerate a new pool of adoptees, but the game seemed to have frozen. Not completely, but a good amount of time passed and nothing was happening, and I was still able to alt-tab out to attend to other tasks. I wonder if this situation has ever happened to anyone else or is expected as a result of the combination of nostrayrespawns and DAC. No error message popped up so I'm unsure if anything was recorded by the game, or if the game was just confused by the sequence of events. In any case it's not a big deal but I am curious if it just takes a ridiculously long amount of time to regenerate an entire new pool or if indeed the game encountered some kind of problem and got itself stuck.

I've had this problem aswell. I played a pre-pets hood with the correct N00x_suburbx file added, so that it had no strays in it. But calling the adoption agent made my game freeze indefinitly and I had to exit with CtrlAltDelete. I haven't tried taking out nostrayrespawn, because Im worried that my game might generate those 50+ standard strays.
miros:
I would assume (but you know what that does) that the no-stray-respawn hack would realize that "at least one adoptee" is necessary and spawn it. Did you let the stupid dialog sit on the screen for a while (2-5 min) or kill it almost immediately? Since all the new stuff in Pets seems to take a dog's age, I'd expect it to take well over a minute to decide what to do.

:P Well I went to do the dishes, and when I returned it was still frozen. Restarted my computer, tried agian, same outcome. I've just given up on adopting and only but pets from community lots.
