Pets Thread!

[Whitnerd]

I got my copy today (two of them in fact--I'm not really sure how or why ), and by some miracle, I don't have any homework due tomorrow. So you can bet I'll be playing tonight and taking pictures to share here.

Anyway, I figured I would make a thread for everyone to share their Pets stories and pictures too.

[Theachen7]

Oh yes please post pictures! I was toying briefly with the idea of getting it today just realized it doesn't come out here until the 20th, but school is rather hectic at the moment, so I won't really have time for it anyway

But I would love to see

[Jessica]

So jealous! New games don't reach the stores until Thursdays here in Spain so I still have a couple of days left to wait. Be sure to share lots of pics!

[Kiri]

Absolutely wonderful!! I don't get to pick mine up until tomorrow - but you can bet that the weekend will be a big playing session!

[Whitnerd]

I haven't installed yet. I'm hearing reports of a ton of CC being broken by the patch that the EP makes you install. Apparently just about every CC object that Sims can interact with is broken.

[Whitnerd]

Because of the CC issues I decided to play with a new neighborhood instead of an existing one. I also ran into a glitch with giving a LTW to a Sim while creating a new household (and you can't complete the family until everyone has a LTW), so I ended up playing with one of the families in Appaloosa Plains for a bit.

Pretty horse.



Here's the Sim. She's a country singer. I gave her different hair, but everything else is how I found it.







I liked her truck.



I got her a kitten just because I wanted to see one.



And here's my attempt at an Akita Inu.



I'm looking forward to exploring more fully once some of the glitches I'm seeing get worked out.

[Jessica]

That's a colourful sim indeed.

The horse really IS pretty! It has a nice saddle.
I wonder what I will do with horses... my farming families might get one I guess.

The kitten and the dog look really cute!

[Kiri]

I'll be picking mine up in about 5 hours.

[Theachen7]

Finished early at uni today, on my way home I suddenly found myself at the store buying Pets Going to the movies in 15 minutes, but will install/play when I get home Just need to back up my games with cc..

[Theachen7]

I poked around a bit in Appaloosa Plains, and I must say I like it a lot! I may have to move the Nobles there from SV.

Took a few pictures.

Babycat (not my naming..!) talking to a wild horse.


Ice cream truck pulling up at Babycat's owner Gracie's house at 5 am.


Horsie!


I don't remember who lives here, but I like the look of this house.


I was going to move SimThea in when the game crashed, so now I'm off to try again. I want my simself to have a cat. Or two. Or three.

From what I've read, the CC issue seems to affect packages and things created using third party tools?

[Kiri]

Yeah pretty much. It also affects Store items.

TSR has a CC fixer www.thesimsresource.com/news/view-post/post/22404

I played a little yesterday after getting my game (very little, and as I was VERY tired my memories are a bit fuzzy... ). Appaloosa Plains looks lovely. I looked into Gracie Loveland's home and laughed after seeing her bedroom. Then, after failing at recreating a certain character from a videogame I wanted to play with, I installed a sim I had downloaded, gave her the equestrian trait and put her in the little starter house that has a fenced area. After failing to make friends with a wild foal, I made her adopt one on the phone, a very cute female foal called Bacon. I got them to be friends but didn't do much else. I thought it was adorable that Bacon had a bad moodlet from missing her mother. Aww!

I took some (bad, due to tiredness) pics and might post them later if you are interested.

FINALLY, a potential reason for me to play TS3.

[Whitnerd]

Great pics Thea. I love the rolling horse and the 5am ice cream truck visit.

I want to see a unicorn so bad.

[CharlieChomper]

I'm not sure if it's because I just reinstalled everything, but all my store content is showing up for me and is working fine.

Also, I was extremely happy to see that they finally included Yorkies (Yorkshire Terriers) as a breed of dog! The default tail they used is a bit long for the breed, but I'm still happy to see them finally make it into the game!

[Theachen7]

Store content is showing up for me too. I have refrained from using other stuff though (except for hair, clothes, patterns and decorative items. As far as I understood it's just objects that are usable?)

[Kiri]

You'd love it Moon - you can be a crazy dog lady in TS3!

[Whitnerd]

I think my household creating problems were caused by a mod I forgot to remove. I was able to make a Sim with a horse and a cat. I'll post horse pictures some other time. For now, here's some kitty spam.



He's pretty spoiled.











He likes to play in the horse's hay.



I just love the twisty cat positions.



He loves being chased. It gets him pretty hyper though.

[Theachen7]

Cute kitty!!

I moved my simself into AP, and gave her a cat based on my mum's cat.

SimThea quickly got to see a wild horse up close.


But the horse wasn't that interested in being close to her.


She found a lizard that I kept for a little while, but her economy is so bad she couldn't afford to keep it.


And now; kitty spam!


He's getting to be quite a skilled hunter now. Not so good in the beginning though.

This is just like him in real life.




I love the fact that while I'm waiting for SimThea to get off work, I can play with Hilmar
