I Didn't Know I Had to NRaas Spay my Cat
Apr. 6th, 2024 02:57 pmSomething that popped up in my Appaloosa Plains game has me a bit pissed off and now having to make a choice on how to set up a do-over game. At some point when I wasn't paying attention, likely when Gloria and her horse were at the equestrian center, the game "married" Gloria's cat to Mozart Miller, the tuxedo cat who lives down the road. Apparently they have been mating.
Nothing against Mozart, but I did NOT want Sim-Noelle to be mating with anyone and eventually producing kittens. I played her like the spayed cat that she is in real life. Lesson learned; for pets you don't want to breed, one must go into NRaas - Story Progression - Sim and set Allow Romance to False just as you would do with a human/elf sim that you don't want to get into a romantic relationship for whatever reason.
Apparently this "cat marriage" took place a while ago because I could not find a save where the cats were not mated. I suppose this is supposed to be considered cute, but I was not amused and was so annoyed that I deleted all of my saves for that game. And I'm not regretting that.
Now to set up a new start which will include adjusting settings to spay/neuter the dog and cat. The difficult choice now is what to do about Gloria's house. I saved a copy of her finished blue house to the library and can place it in the lot at the start of the new game, but this means that I no longer am playing a game where she is building the lot up from nothing. So while the big job would be over, it just won't feel the same anymore.
I'll think it over while moving my Elder Scrolls game along toward the autumn season. No doubt some may think I'm overreacting, but it annoyed me that this happened and that I could not find any cheats anywhere to undo it. So...Gloria's game is over. Now I need to figure out how I want to handle the do-over.
