Pets might be right around the corner! Thanks to community modder Zerbu, we now have a first look at official game code mentioning Pets in The Sims 4. The following “Cat and Dog” code was found within the game after today’s game patch:
<C n=”DefaultGenealogyLink”>
<L n=”_elements”>
<T ev=”3″>Alien Pollinator</T>
<T ev=”4″>Cat_Owned</T>
<T ev=”5″>Cat_Owner</T>
<T ev=”6″>Dog_Owned</T>
<T ev=”7″>Dog_Owner</T>
</L>
</C><L n=”SPECIES_TO_ROOMATE_LINK”>
<U />
<U>
<E n=”genealogy_link”>Cat_Owner</E>
<E n=”species_actor”>CAT</E>
</U>
<U>
<E n=”genealogy_link”>Cat_Owned</E>
<E n=”species_target”>CAT</E>
</U>
<U>
<E n=”genealogy_link”>Dog_Owner</E>
<E n=”species_actor”>DOG</E>
</U>
<U>
<E n=”genealogy_link”>Dog_Owned</E>
<E n=”species_target”>DOG</E>
</U>
</L>
We have has several hints of Pets over the last few years, more specifically an official survey, proof that pets and animal are being explored, and confirmation by a guru that Pets will not function as objects when they arrive. Excited for 2017? It’s only just begun!
