More Pets Picspam!  



So I posted a bunch of picspam last time and then kept playing and taking more and more pics and because damn, these pets are so cute, I wanted to share! I apologize in advance, I'll get back to some proper legacy posting sometime in the future XD

This post contains cats, cat breeding, horses and a unicorn (in case you want to find that stuff out for yourself, don't read).



I wanted to try out the horses next so I had Rowan, the eldest son of the family (now an adult) get a horse from the equestrian center.



One of the horses was named Balin and that pretty much sealed the deal for me :D



Course, Rowan has no riding skill and when I told him to get off the horse (as travel would be quicker that way for now).. he kinda failed at that too.





Lol.



Leading the horse home (while your butt's ringing, apparantly).





Eating some hay, drinking some water.









Playing! :D (so cute)



Next up is trying to build a bond, of course.



Nom, carrots.









Besides brushing the horse (which helps with hygiene, the horse has no hygiene bar but does get smelly if left unbrushed too long) you can also clean the hooves (sadly, no pic).



Tumble meets Balin.



Chatting about bugs and how much dogs suck.









Rowan still fails.



He does finally manage to go for a short ride :)



We interrupt this horse spam to bring you Tumble, rolling around on Castor's feet.

K, back to horse spam.









(both the horse and the rider gain skill, since they're going out at a gallop the horse gains racing skill. Rowan's simply gaining riding skill)



Cat/Horse nuzzling.



Tumble caught a bird and I decided to try the "present" interaction.



Turns out after they basically drop the critter at their human's feet, they have an option to *eat* the poor thing.



Nom.





Course it's much nicer to temporarily keep the little bird and then set them free again.



This is Paws. Someone wondered about pet breeding and to be honest, so did I.



Paws first order of business. Destroying the scratching post.



I replaced it with something better.







<3



Rowan's been working those horse riding skills. This is the "heroic pose". XD



Training.



Paws is a skittish kitty. He likes to hide in there and then lure Sims to him.



Unicorn! :D

(sorry for the dark pics, it was night).







The unicorn's gorgeous. Interactions are like a normal horse (only affection ones, no leading the wild unicorn) but there's an extra "watch unicorn" interaction.





Plus if they like your sim and you do positive interactions, they may just bless your sim.



zoom.



With high enough relationship you can ask the unicorn to join the household.



Rowan making a nice formal bow to ask.

Alas, the unicorn basically said (I am paraphrasing): "Lol no, make more animal friends, kthxbye"



As I said, Paws is a skittish kitty.







Skittish and playful.



And as the popup says, a weirdo.

(it says: "Paws Miller just freaked out at Bunker for who knows what reason! Sheesh, Paws is such a weirdo!"







Playing :D







A horse race at the equestrian center.



Time to try for kittens!





Hee.



Immediately after, Paws ran off to hide under the bed.



Freaking out at the trash can.



Blah blah, some time passed XD

Kitten time!



Only one kitten, possibly due to fairly full household.









As you can see, kitten (named Fuzz) is both adorable and a blend of both parents.



There was a new addition (or two) elsewhere too.



Sadly the only cat/toddler interaction I've found (this one's initiated from the cat).

And these last pics are for Ja:

















XD

And that's me done spamming! Hope you guys enjoyed atleast a little bit. :D

So much cuteness and I really love Fuzz <3
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:31 pm (UTC)
<3 And Fuzz has been so cute :D
Alisonarisily on October 23rd, 2011 04:22 am (UTC)
Gah, the hedgehog! X3 So cute!

And I've been playing some with Pets myself, but your pictures are so lovely! And I didn't realize the sim inviting the unicorn had to have a lot of animal friends, huh.

The interspecies interactions (horse/cat nuzzling) are especially adorable. <3 EA did a good job with that.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:33 pm (UTC)
The little critters are adorable, I love the hedgehog's tiny little beady eye XD

Have you dared start your legacy game with Pets in yet? I've been putting it off but seriously considering adding a dog to the legacy household (horses later, no money to buy a stable and such). And yeah, apparently you need... five? animal friends?

I love that the animals can socialize (hee, animal talk) and sniff eachother and nuzzle. It's adorable.
Kategreymanticore on October 23rd, 2011 04:36 am (UTC)
Holy fuck oh my god that hedgehog. <3

I love Paws, he's so cute! The fish bed, too. :)
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:34 pm (UTC)
I know! <3

Hah, Paws is a riot, he's such a weird cat XD
puddinroypuddinroy on October 23rd, 2011 04:52 am (UTC)
great pictures. I love the kitty
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:34 pm (UTC)
Thank you! :D
meetme2therivermeetme2theriver on October 23rd, 2011 06:49 am (UTC)
OMG! They really put effort into this, didn't they? The cat interactions are amazing! I can't believe they can eat the birds, haha. Also, very pleased to see the kitten is such a good blend of the parents. And the hedgehog! Squee!
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:35 pm (UTC)
They really did, there's way more animal interactions than in TS2 pets, it seems. Especially between pets but also with the pet and a sim. I'm very glad to see the breeding allows for decent blending (and that you can see it in kitten form already)!
meetme2therivermeetme2theriver on October 23rd, 2011 08:00 pm (UTC)
TS2 Pets really is a bit of a ripoff, isn't it? TS1 Unleashed had so much more stuff, and hey, the cats could hunt in that! I'm pleased they brought that back, although if I do end up playing I don't think I'll ever have the heart to let them eat their prey, haha. I'll happily burn my sims, but I'm such a softie about the animals. :P The cat/horse nuzzling is adorable. <3 And the cat snuggling too. And I'm sure the dogs are great also, haven't seen as much of them yet.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 08:07 pm (UTC)
It.. kinda is. Don't get me wrong, I always have every EP for TS2 installed, pets included. And I had a cat legacy alongside my TS2 legacy and loved all those cats. But the TS3 cats seem... better (I vaguely recall Unleashed, I remember being excited to buy it, but it's been a long time :P).

I normally wouldn't let my kitties eat the prey either, I just wanted to see if they could and what would happen XD

I intend to add a dog to my proper legacy which is why I haven't played one yet in my side (picspam) game. :) Can't speak for others, but it seems a lot of people are trying out the horses most of all XD
meetme2therivermeetme2theriver on October 23rd, 2011 08:22 pm (UTC)
Oh, me too, and I like having cats and dogs around and breeding them and stuff. But they could have done so much more with that EP. More options for pets (only womrats and birds? No turtles or snakes or...), more interactions and toys and stuff, and it's also the only EP with no new subhood or neighbourhood! Instead we get... Pet careers. Ugh. Why not pet shows or something that makes sense? I blame it on it being the first EP Rod Humble was in charge of. I don't think he really knew what to make of it all.

Anyway! Thanks for the pictures and showing the cat breeding and stuff. If I do end up trying out TS3 again, this EP will probably be the main reason why.

Oh, I noticed that about the horses too. It's new and shiny, after all, and people have wanted horses for a looooong time. :) I hope they do farm animals at some point, that'd be cool.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 09:33 pm (UTC)
They could have but is it not always a could have, should have, would have? XD I do wish TS2 pets had more small critters. I like that TS3 has rectified that. And everyone's gotta learn somewhere, Rod Humble included :P

Thank you! Though lots of people do say they want to try again (and I personally think the game's great), do so only if you really want to :) (or you know, do it, join the dark side! :P)

Yep and admittedly, the horses are a lot of fun. Plus they have the whole new way of making money attached and all. Farm animals would be cool though I personally wouldn't expect it.. but who knows, I wouldn't have expected Ambitions or Generations either XD
Linda Elisebunheadsbuns on October 23rd, 2011 07:36 am (UTC)
HEDGEHOGS!? Aaaaaaaawwwww!
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:38 pm (UTC)
Yup! :D (there's also several other kinds of small rodenty creatures :D).
Rachelsimsforaranya on October 23rd, 2011 08:45 am (UTC)
OMG BALIN THE HORSIE. He needs an axe. *nod*

And I almost died laughing at Rowan's inability to get on Balin. Reminds me of when a friend tied up her horse and was all "here. Ride horsie." Being a 10 year old girl, I naturally reacted with ":D :D :D" (only MUCH bigger smile) annnndddd then couldn't get on, much to my friend's amusement.

Apologizing for dark unicorn pics is like apologizing for dark vampire pics. ;) (aka, completely unnecessary. XD)

http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c252/Fantasyrogue/Sims%203/BCPets164.jpg OMG OMG OMG HEDGEHOG. I may have to get this EP JUST for the hedgehog. And the unicorn. And the kittens. Gah, I need it FOR EVERYTHINGS. I also need to start playing TS3 again.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:41 pm (UTC)
Haha, he does. I was looking to buy a horse and there was this list and Balin popped up and I was like. BALIN! I MUST HAVE THIS HORSE!

Atleast you were a 10 year old girl, not a grown man like Rowan XD It's so funny to watch a sim fumble trying to get on the horse.

I'll stop apologizing then XD It's just, the game gets very dark at night.. and I haven't seen unicorns out during the day.

Did I mention there's other critters!? Because there's other critters (shrews, chipmunks, squirrels, rats, etc. Plus snakes and turtles and lizards and birds). Seriously, this is like the best Pets expansion ever.
kustirider2kustirider2 on October 23rd, 2011 09:34 am (UTC)
Aw the kitties :3 Wow, I'm impressed with EA. Looks much more fun that TS2 pets. I don't even have TS3 installed anymore, but I really do think I'm going to have to buy this and reinstall :P
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:42 pm (UTC)
Haha. The picspam seems to be having a lot of people considering a reinstall XD It's a pretty good EP this one and I do prefer this pets expansion over the TS2 one, this one just has more of everything. More's good.
Alcyonealcyonesims on October 23rd, 2011 09:52 am (UTC)
Too cute! I'm gonna properly try out pets today, haven't gotten to sit down and see all the features yet.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:42 pm (UTC)
Ooh, I hope you'll have fun! :D (there's a lot of features to try)
W: ep5w_sims on October 23rd, 2011 11:41 am (UTC)
If there's one thing I love more than pictures of Sims 3 Pets, it's picture-spam of Sims 3 Pets!! ^_^
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:43 pm (UTC)
Heehee XD Thanks! :D I'm glad you enjoy it :D
Maranatahmaranatah on October 23rd, 2011 11:41 am (UTC)
Pictures of Paws under the couch and bed are hilarious :D And is that a hedgehog?!? I really hope to find one on my game too.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:44 pm (UTC)
I love that the cats can get under the couches and beds. And it is a hedgehog, yes! They're a rare find though so they can be a bit of a pain to find. I think there may be spawners or if you have a trained cat that's good at hunting and has a high relationship with a sim. The sim can actually ask the cat to "hunt for..... " and then pick rodents.
Maranatahmaranatah on October 23rd, 2011 02:54 pm (UTC)
Thanks for the tips! I'll have to train a cat to hunt then :) I wonder are rodents just going to spawn randomly also to custom worlds... I didn't see any spawners in the buy debug for them.
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 03:30 pm (UTC)
The critter spawners are in buydebug under the fish spawners tab. I don't think the cat hunting uses said spawners though, but they'd still be handy to place for being able to just go out and finding critters (watching them) without the need for a cat at high skill.
Maranatahmaranatah on October 23rd, 2011 03:48 pm (UTC)
Wow, thanks! I never thought of looking under the FISH spawners tab :D (it must be Eaxis logic again...)
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 04:03 pm (UTC)
I know, it's a bit of a silly location. A new tab would have made more sense. It's that I had to go look for them too as I need to make changes to my legacy hood (the downside to new expansions, need all the new buildings that go with.. Just placed an equestrian center and horse ranch but I've no idea how I'm going to get dog and cat parks in here..)
Zx_Tazx_ta on October 23rd, 2011 01:11 pm (UTC)
I don't think I would kiss a hedgehog^^ But it's really cute!!

I love the picture where Tumble has a wing in her mouth, it's like she's saying "I'm the cutest hunter... ever..."
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:45 pm (UTC)
Nobody said Rowan is smart XD He does a lot of silly things all the time :P (he was actually rubbing the hedgehog against his cheek... smart man).

Haha, yeah, I felt sorry for the bird though XD
Lotus's Journalageiha on October 23rd, 2011 01:51 pm (UTC)
Tumble is adorableee! <333

Didn't know about the 'present' interaction, nce that the sims can also enjoy/suffer from it!
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 02:46 pm (UTC)
She is! <333

Yep, just like the loveliness in real life, sim cats can drop animals in the house too XD And I found out just earlier that they can puke too as I found cat puke in the sim's kitchen :|
Wolfiewolfieslice on October 23rd, 2011 06:15 pm (UTC)
Do they have wolves in this EP? XD Otherwise I'm afraid I'll have to pass. D: (lol they're pretty much the only reason I got TS2 Pets when it came out... >_<")
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 06:31 pm (UTC)
Not to my knowledge. Though I'm sure you could make a custom one using the Create a Pet. But wild ones? No.
Wolfiewolfieslice on October 23rd, 2011 06:38 pm (UTC)
Awww, that's sad! D': Thanks for letting me know, though! :)

I did squee a little at the hedgehog all the same. xD Hehehe~
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 07:53 pm (UTC)
I know, I'd have liked wolves (werewolves!) too but we got unicorns instead.

I think the hedgehog is adorable :D
pinkthistlespinkthistles on October 23rd, 2011 08:37 pm (UTC)
Oh Hey, MORE! I'm loving your pictures XD That last pic was hilarious. Everything I see about this ep makes me so happy! Thanks for putting on the Pets Show!
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on October 23rd, 2011 09:05 pm (UTC)
Yep, more XD Thank you! Rowan has all the luck with animals :P
Camille (Camy)rayesesshyfan on December 4th, 2011 10:34 pm (UTC)
-dies from the adorableness-

EEE CASTOR! Finally has his kitties!

-sooooooooooooo laaaaaaaate- XDDDD

Okay now I really need to play my Sims 3 Pets XD
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on December 5th, 2011 12:13 am (UTC)
Heehee :D He had to have cats. Now I just need werewolves. And hopefully *proper* aliens sometime. And I guess he needs to be a warlock but I did recently get that spellbook from the store.
Camille (Camy)rayesesshyfan on December 5th, 2011 02:20 am (UTC)
Werewolves, yes and of course aliens. Castor got me to love aliens. I don't know why I didn't but definitely need aliens~ Oh god, warlock. I can still remember those noises he made all the time in Sims 2 which I still need to reinstall DX Gah!
fantasyroguefantasyrogue on December 5th, 2011 03:03 am (UTC)
Hee. I liked them before but he made me love aliens even more. Now my game is not complete without some green sims in it. Yeah, he needs to know magic again, I'll need to get him that spellbook even if it is rather limited.
