New Game Options
This section explains what new game features/options you have have in the game. Along with a brief explanation, is a photo and/or video to go by. These are changes made in options that already exist within the Base game or Expansions.
Sim and Pet Autonomy
Pet Autonomy has been added in this expansion, however the game has given us a new option now to disable autonomy. You can pick and choose between Sims & Pets. Let’s say you want autonomy disabled for Pets but not Sims, it’s definitely possible.
Pet Lifespans
Just like Sims received their own life span panels with the Generations patch, the Pets patch offers the same exact options for Pets. You can set the life span of Cats Dogs and Horses all separately, as well as the different life stages and how long (or short) you want them to be.
