Animal: Difference between revisions

 

If ''[[Unleashed]]'' is installed, [[dog]]s will sometimes jump and snap at "free range" files, but cannot get rid of them. "Free range" flies can be picked up and sold in Buy or Build mode if the [[Moveobjects|move_objects on]] [[The Sims/cheats|cheat]] is enabled. Oddly, they're labeled as the "[[SSRI Virtual Reality Set]]" and worth 460 [[simoleon]]s.

 

===The Sims: Livin' Large===

 

Sims on the lot will try their best to get rid of them, as well as [[maid]]s, [[Bonehilda]] and the [[Servo]], if any was present. If ''[[The Sims: Unleashed|Unleashed]]'' is installed, [[cat]]s may attempt to hunt them, but will only do so autonomously. However, they will still gain the [[Skill (pet)|hunting]] skill. Once killed, roaches disappear and leave no trace of their existence. Roaches in ''The Sims'' can pass through walls, and so may be able to get to places that Sims can't.

===The Sims: Hot Date===

The first wild animal introduced in the franchise was [[Claire the Bear]], a bear who was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]''. She occasionally wanders onto the lot being played, and although she means no harm, she often roots around in the trashcan, and looks for food in it, waking up all the [[Sim]]s in the house. She will also interact with, or at least react to, the Buster O’Beast stuffed bear and the bearskin rug, and may attempt to steal partially-filled jars of honey from the [[beehive]].{{vgversion|TS:MM}}

 

===The Sims: Unleashed===

[[Pet]]s were first introduced in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', which Sims can adopt and have as a new addition to the family. [[stray|Stray pets]] may occasionally appear on the lot or around the neighborhood being played, and can be [[Adoption#Adopting pets|adopted]] if a Sim builds a high relationship with them, also Sims can buy them at the [[Pet store]], which is much more easier. Pet store adopted pets will automatically have a 50 mutual daily relationship points with their adopter, while other members of the family will have to work on their relationship with them.

Also, new wild animals came with the new gardening system in ''Unleashed''. When a Sim has a vegetable patch with crops in it, especially carrots, the lot is likely to be visited by rabbits and gophers, which can quickly destroy the garden. The only way of getting rid of them is by buying a [[cat]] or using a scarecrow to scare them off.

 

[[El Bandito|Raccoons]] can also appear, but they aren't as troublesome. Like Claire the Bear, raccoons like to paw around in the trashcan, waking the Sims in the dead of night. Sims can shoo raccoons or call [[Animal Control]] to humanely remove them before they get into the garbage. Another possible solution is to get a [[dog]], which may or may not chase El Bandito away. The [[Henri LeStanc|skunk]] is another visitor, and although it doesn't wake up Sims, it can spray them if they go to pet it, which will drop their hygiene down to zero. Pets can get sprayed as well if they go to investigate the. The skunk will leave after a few days, but Sims can phone Animal Control to have the skunk humanely removed from the property for §30.
