Stray: Difference between revisions

{{Era|TSU|TS2P|TS3P|TS4C&D}}A '''stray''' is a [[cat]] or [[dog]] that does not belong to any [[Sim]]. Strays are very much like [[townie]]s, except that they are animals. However, strays who enter a [[residential lot]] will usually stay a while, instead of just walking by as townies do.

Strays were first introduced in ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', and reappeared in ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'', ''[[The Sims 3: Pets]]'' and ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]''. In all four games, Sims can befriend and [[Adoption#Adopting pets|adopt]] strays, though they must be on their home lots in order to adopt. Any pets in the family may also autonomously interact with strays, and develop a relationship with them. A important note is that most strays are vsco, especially the cats.

Players can immediateimmediately add strays to the household with the use of [[testingcheatsenabled]]. Once said cheat is enabled, Shift-clicking on a stray will provide an option to add it to the family.

==The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs (the better game)==

Strays return in ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]''. They can be found anywhere in [[Brindleton Bay]], on both community and residential lots. JustTo like in previous games, Sims can build relationships withhave strays andappear possiblyin adoptother themworlds, if the Sim has a high enough relationship. Playersplayer can also assignuse either athe "Cat Hangout" or a "Dog Hangout" [[lot trait]] in order for more strays to appear. SimilarlyJust to [[townie]]s, strays are randomly generated, but unlike townies, they are not accessiblelike in theprevious households menu of Manage Worlds.
