Is it possible to adopt a stray in Sims 4?
A stray is a cat or dog that does not belong to a Sim.Strays are just like townies, except that they are animals.Strays who enter a residential lot will usually stay for a while, instead of just walking by.
Strays were first introduced in The Sims: Unleashed.Sims can befriend and adopt strays in all four games, but they must be on their home lots in order to do so.Any pet in the family can interact with strays and develop a relationship.
Strays that are invited into the house will act like guests.They will use household objects.sleeping on the couch while eating from a food dish
There are strays in The Sims.Left to right are Spike, Buzz, Cher, Cali, Spork, and Fluffly.
Strays are the same in every neighborhood and in all games, unlike Townies in other expansion packs of The Sims.There are no skills or personality points in the default strays.They can learn skills, but only if the player uses a third-party program or hacked object.
The game will not replace strays who are adopted, but a cat or dog owned by a Sims will join the Strays family if it is neglected.The easiest way to force a pet to become a stray is to put it in a room with nothing but a food bowl.If the pet's Fun and Social becomes red, take the food bowl away.With its Fun and Social in the red, the pet will run away before it starves.
Strays visit lots in the same way that pets do, without their owners.Strays and pets can be told not to stay on a lot by placing a sign on the lot.
Strays have no last names.If a stray is adopted, the game will replace it with a random name, but the pre-made strays are the same in all neighborhoods.The wolves have random names.
Strays visit less frequently than in Unleashed, and fewer of them will visit at one time.Only one will visit at a given time.In The Sims 2: Pets for console, the Stray Away!, players cannot purchase a sign to tell strays to stay away.The same sign can be used.
Strays usually learn one or more behaviors, but not always in a positive direction.Some strays will have learned some commands.
Strays will no longer visit community lots if a player-controlled Sim is on that lot with one of his or her pets.This can be fixed with this mod.
Strays appeared in The Sims 3: Pets.Strays can be found on both community and residential lots, and like the previous games, Sims must build a relationship with them before they are able to adopt them.Strays may be attracted to certain objects inside the home.Pets like full food bowls and pet houses.Strays may attract them.Stray pets do not have pre-made names and are only known to the player as "Stray Cat".
