Also there are many ways to get pets. Call on the phone "adoption service" Adopt a stray pet your sim finds. Make a pet while your making a family with Create-A-Pet or add a pet to a family using Create-A-Pet

I've never seen so many people on one topic!

Poodles can be pink, if we unlock the pink fur.

I'm so proud my little thread is so popular XD

Lol, well it is a new expansion that everyone has been waiting for. Can you blame us? Who doesnt' love animals and pets? :P

aand it closed! Whee...

Perhaps you should change to title to something like:
Chat Transcripts from Pet Chat?

Edit: It's closed...? really really closed?!

Yeah, the chat is now closed might be a bit before the transcripts come up.

I think that's a good idea Cheeseisgood. =)


Bah. I was trying to copy the Learned BeHaviors bit, as I don't think I explained it well enough. Then a mod asked everyone to log out, so away went what I was trying to copy. Bah. Hopefully, the log will be out soon.

I can't get in either. Thanks for keeping us posted.

OT: Wow Discordkitty. That must seem like a shock to you being a moderator now. I saw it in a post in sims 2 chat and I was like "...what?" lol

Thanks to Trissle:

Thanks to yamikuronue:
The new total for Sims/Pets in household is 12 (apparently,but it could change?)


If you like to, please reply with more info

Thats because the chat was full Kitty it is over now anyways. Don't worry there will be chat transcript.

That's really weird! I tried sending my questions many times, but they never showed up in the chat! What went wrong? :confused:

Who cares, we've got them right here now! Mwahaha! Silly Maxoids!

And yes... someone asked if we could breed a cat and a dog. Page 4 i think, but unsure. I laughed out loud there!

Moderated chat. The moderators controlled what showed up and only the ones that got answered showed up (I assume)

Okay, guys. All the screenshot transcripts are posted. Look back in this thread for the links.

Probably first come first serve with the questions too.

yeah, I caught that, XD

Up to 6 pets in the household

And pets CAN go to owned business lots with OFB

Ive posted a thread with pretty much most from the chat alltogether, if anyone missed something.

What made me laugh was because they said "maybe" to that question, as well as the werewolf question.

It will be posted at the official site. Scroll up to see the posted chat scripts here.

Oh, that makes sense. I guess I got in too late, but I'm surprised I got in at all, lol! :smash:

it's not up yet but go back a page in this thread, there are screenshots of all the pages

Wow, apparently I'm invisible or something... Here is the full chat transcript !!! (screenshotted because the java chat won't let you copy-paste)
