Creating Puppies and Kittens for Adoption
myskaal:
I know the whole sim world is all about some Seasons right now but I figured I'd try to squeeze in a question regarding Pets here real quick like.
I've got a bit of a predicament regarding adoptable animals in my hood (via the pet adoption agency). I created this hood with the empty templates and nostrayrespawn.
Now the problem I have is there is only 1 adoptable dog and 1 adoptable cat available to select from the pet adoption agency. No puppies, no kittens, and not even any small breed dogs. While it's not a huge problem it does leave me in a bit of a pickle when trying to finally fufill one of those obtain a pet wants. Audrey is just dying for a new puppy and has been rolling this want nearly every sim day for 2 sim weeks. Finally feeling confident enough with having got back into the swing of simming, I'd like to give her what she wants here and try out having some pets around.
So my question is: Has there been discovered a way to create puppies (not adult dogs) and kittens (not adult cats) and send them off to the agency for adoption?
I'm going to try taking out the nostrayrespawn and see if I can't get some more adoptables generated here in a moment but I don't think that's going to do anything for it.
edit to update: Taking out nostrayrespawn did generate a few more adoptables but still no kittens or puppies. All adult animals. :-\

I just have a few of my sim families breed kittens and puppies, I leave the names male kitten/puppy and felmale kitten/puppy and call up the pet adoption service to pick them up. then when I play other sim families I have plenty to choose from and I breed in the traits I want. adopt, name and enjoy :)
myskaal:
Yes... in order to do that, though, I have to have a family in the hood with pets already and then breed them...
I have zero families with pets already and have no desire to give any of my other sims pets just yet let alone go through all the relationship building/breeding rituals that would be needed to get the puppies prepared for adoption. See?
So a couple of things:
I used SaraMK's tutorial to make myself a new P001 template with only the adoptable puppies and kittens as one alternative. I'll attach it if anyone else would like.
Note: This won't generate the puppies and kittens in an already existing pets expanded hood, only a new one.
Secondly, the generation of adoptables through the pet adoption service seems to work like the NPC generation in that if you don't save the game after generation, you can leave the lot and re-enter, call again and get a different set of pets generated to choose from. So if you're persistant enough, you could simply keep trying until you get a set of animals you like.
I tried this 3 times, and all 3 times the files generated at the call were removed after leaving the game without saving. 103 characters to start 103 characters after exit.
I just don't know if I have the patience to keep regenerating until a puppy shows up. :P
edit - added the note about the template.

Ah...well...yes if you want to get all technical and cheaty ha ha...good luck with it. But, then you'll miss all the fun of having a weird old cat lady he he

Oh I'm sure I'll have one _eventually_. This hood is barely 2 sim weeks old though. Spankin' fresh new started it when I got Pets as a gift after not having played since OFB came out. So I was taking my time getting reacquainted with the game before going nuts with the pets.
In any case, your post did inspire me to add 2 more sims to my hood to run the recently built Twoscado Cram Boarding and Breeding Kennels. heh. ::)
