ROFL very cat like.

Every so often dog houses and dog sleeping area needs to be cleaned. This dog house is smoking green with flies buzzing around.

Leader of the Pack

Leader of the Pack is a wolf with glowing eyes. He will randomly visit at night. Other wolfs will visit at different times of the day.

Skunk is BACK!!!!

When the skunk visits, he usually just walks around the lot. So far he has not bothered any of the sims or the pets. I just leave him be. I guess he got hungry and took advantage of a tipped over trash can.

Goofy Dog Color (unlocked)

Conception

Birth

Puppy Stage

Adult Stage

Here are two large dogs, both with the goofy hair color. One has a long fluffy tail, long skinny nose, and some blue color on the back (left). The other is all goofy color, with a short tail, and muscular body. Slight variations in features.

Pets need a private place to make babies. A sim can click on a pet to get the option to have the pet "try for puppies with.." Click that and pick the pet of interest. The sim needs to have a relationship with the dog that is being asked to "try for puppies..." in order for the dog to take the request. Both dogs need to be in a good mood. If all is in order, they will head off to the dog house. One goes in and the other follows. The door SLAMS shut and fireworks spark out the top and dust forms at the bottom. If any sims are outside, they will gather around the dog house cheering on the happy couple.

After they are finished, the door opens and they exit. The male wonder off and the female went back into the doghouse and laid down.


The only human sim in the house is teaching one of the dogs to "play dead". Its fun to watch the pets learn the new tricks. It doesn't seem to take a huge amount of time to learn the tricks.

Several days have passed and it is time for the birth. The mom curls up on the floor and sparkles.
Sparkles brighter.
Then sparkles lighter. The dad to be isn't worried, he grabs a snack as he waits. The next shot showed the puppy appear near the back of the mom dog. I must have missed that shot.

Here the mom is first sniffing her pup. You can see the dad still eating his snack in the background.

Time for the pups first bath. The first attempt produced one puppy. SO... I sent the mom and dad back to the dog house to try again

This time she had THREE pup's. She was laying in the square she is standing in. The pups poofed up in the three around her. It happens pretty quick.

Here are the pups all grown up. The mom and dad are the two standing up and walking toward the kitchen. The pups got a mix of the parents. One has a short tail, one had a fluffy tail, and the other two have long tails. One or two (both chewing the dog bone) are all goofy color. The other two are a mix of goofy and blue.

With so many adult dogs heading off to work, it doesn't take long to open up other hidden items. So far, I have unlocked 35 fur colors and/or pet collars.

Servo funnies

Servo runs amok. This was a visiting servo at the Goths, original, house. I had a shop there and was getting rid of out of stock signs. I guess the servo had one of the items in his bag. As soon as I started the game up, the servo was running around shocking anyone who was close to him. Locking the doors didn't do anything, he went right through them. I guess door locks don't keep out crazy robots. :D
Servo decided to take a dip in the hot tub. I think she is asking for trouble.
She stayed in the hot tub for about a second and decided it wasn't for her.

Servo decided she wanted a bath (auto). As soon as I saw her run the water for the tub, I cancelled the action. She still got in and then got out. Silly servo. I ended up locking the bathroom to this servo and took away the hot tub.


If you look close, you may see the black smoke coming out of the servo. Their needs take a huge hit when they get into water. Even so, they can't seem to resist some pools and water wiggley's around the neighborhood.

Painting Workshop

Here is an example of a painting workshop with the power of snap dragons.

Cow Plant in ACTION

Lemonade Stand

Elders can sell lemonade just as well as kids.

Herb Oldie

This is Herb Oldie. He is one of the elders in the sim bin at the start of Pleasantview. He's a romance sim. (or was since he passed away)

It looks like he is crying at another sims grave. When I took the picture, I imagined it was his wife. The stone is a fortune plat stone and his wife was family. I suppose, it could have been one of his many loves.



I don't think sim ghosts cry for other dead sims. I think this happened to be the location that Herb received his visit from grim. Ghosts will return to their original death spot and cry, then jump into the ground. I didn't notice if he did that.

I thought it made an interesting storyline photo op. Sometimes you can stage storyline pictures by moving a sim around (moveobjects on). I'm unaware of anyway to move a ghost sim around to stage a storyline shot.

Ghost Chat

Have you ever seen a sim hang out with a ghost?
