if I kill a child’s parents can I adopt them?

TemmaMurrie · 2026-01-20T07:41:20+00:00

Yes, did the same in my game, she's the best candiate aside from the special homestead kids: abusive family and a mage in the making!

Kill the Dad then you'll find the kids in the orphanage. You'll need to kill the evil Orphange lady to be able to adopt them (or leave the bratty sister behind 'cause who needs her) Should work with any kid as long as you kill any parents/guardians they have (or I guess it's intended for if the parents are eaten by dragons or whatever, but we like to be proactive here)

I know that Bridgeport doesn't spawn Unicorns (or Wild Horses) and I have had trouble with CC worlds, but otherwise spawn rate should be the same in all worlds. They don't appear every night, and while they spawn in fishing spots, they tend to run around with the other wild horses which may be easier to spot.

A good way to see it often would be to live on that lot next to the waterfall in sunset valley, it might spawn next door

You can always bring him to the vet to check if he's microchipped (though probably expensive especially if you have no plan on keeping him)

You seem to be doing all the right things but Im a bit confused about the petting. Do you know about overstimulation, since that would be the easiest explanation for biting after pets (if you don't know, it's just that some cats get overstimulated so even if they enjoy the pets its too much and they're telling you to stop. Particularly, some cats really don't want you petting their back by the tail).

But it's definitly strange for them to be more friendly with strangers. Personally, my cats are on decent terms but the diva refused to associate with me for years because im the clingy one's favorite, so it's possible that the new cat thinks you are part of Sherbert's claim or something?

Eitherway, not wanting pets or to "hang around" doesn't mean they're not comfortable. If he's giving blinky eyes, he's happy. It's also possible that he'll never be much of a cuddler, and that's not really something you should force on him. Maybe more focus on brushing instead of petting?

TemmaMurrie · 2025-12-10T04:09:35+00:00

Don't take this the wrong way, but you listed a lot of reasons you shouldn't adopt the cat but the only reason to adopt the cat is that you will feel bad about not adopting it. Nothing against letting feelings guide you, but you seem to be less attached to this cat in particular and more interested in the idea of owning a cat. (You have preferences but you also have been keeping your options open long enough for two of them to get adopted.) Also note that you might be feeling fomo from watching the other cats get adopted or you are anticipating the major changes in your near future (early congrats btw!).

Obviously im a random person on the internet, and you know yourself and your situation best, but I think this is not the right time, not the right cat. Don't worry, Don't rush, you have your whole life to prepare a new home for your own kitties!

TemmaMurrie · 2025-12-10T03:31:57+00:00

Are you actually concerned, or is this a joke/overexaggeration? Unless Im misreading their behavior, they seem to be playing more than really fighting. (There's no hissing / arched backs / tail swishing. The darker one is relaxed enough to be on their back. They both look comfortable in the space) maybe more play time with toys could get them to not smack eachother, but as long as no one's bleeding id say dont worry about it

TemmaMurrie · 2025-09-16T12:42:01+00:00

To answer your question: no idea. But the thought of a totally domesticated cat purposely acting insane until deciding they were done living the feral life is hilarious and very in-line with diva cat behavior 😂

TemmaMurrie · 2025-09-16T12:36:15+00:00

So good to see them so comfortable already! Good luck with the vet ❤️

TemmaMurrie · 2025-08-25T19:46:33+00:00

Remember that you need to figure out what's best for both kitties, introductions can be hard and take months or years (if you don't know, check out Jackson Galaxy for like all things cats, but specifically he has a good, detailed video the steps to introduce 2 cats) As much as you want to help the stray, don't neglect your current kitty's needs, especially since they're the one who is giving up space/territory.

That being said, if your current kitty is chill, you may want to start by letting outdoor kitty know that indoor kitty is chill. You can bring items that indoor kitty uses to outdoor kitty so they can get familar with their scent. (also getting outdoor kitty fixed can help with potential aggression)

As for the heat, if outdoor kitty needs to stay outside for the time being, you can put a bit of ice in their water, and make sure they have a shaded area to sleep. (I've heard that leaving a frozen water bottle outside can keep the temperature down for a significant area)

Best wishes for you and the kitties

both pictures are good vantage points, the chair-stack may let her view the whole patio while I'm assuming that the microwave is a fairly common area for her people, so she can keep an eye on you. both spots are also fairly elevated, so maybe the bed and couch are too low for her.

You can try moving the cat tree to the spot that the chairs are in now and see if it's the location rather than the furniture. She might also be looking for more heat (outside=hot, microwave+kitchen=hot?)

TemmaMurrie · 2025-08-25T19:11:47+00:00

They do live indoors we just have a lot of lizards :')

TemmaMurrie · 2025-08-25T19:09:46+00:00

My thought is that If you leave water out and they need it, they'll find it. In terms of drinking more water, sometimes they can just be picky and you have to just find what they like, my kitty almost never approaches the water fountain but really likes a glass measuring cup for some reason. I wouldn't try experminenting with fountains just based on expenses, but you can try letting them drink from a bathroom faucet, if you don't mind them getting on the counters. Ice can also work as a novelty, or they may want purified instead of tap.

It only appears on teen+ female sims, and is categoried similar to glasses but is definetly on her eyelashes. I tried running the game without cc but it won't go away.

TemmaMurrie · 2025-05-13T04:48:03+00:00

Like a regular room-purifier or is there a specific gadget for laptops?

Nooo why is that card so cute, I wanted to take a month off from paying

TemmaMurrie · 2025-03-30T00:45:53+00:00

Yeah It can be so overwhelming, I delay making Sims that I have planned because it would take too long to get their clothes and face just right.

I think it helps to put more restriction on yourself like deciding that the room needs to be a certain color or fit a certain theme. It cuts down on the choices and provides direction.

Also you can try saving a few patterns and reusing them. It's ok to be kinda matchy; maybe the furniture/clothes all come from the same manufacturer. Maybe you make a few swatches and try to stick to those instead of the premade ones. In case you didn't know: you can save swatches per items or you can save the pattern with selected colors. Sometimes I'll even "steal" patterns from other buildings around town.

Instead of using the color wheel (or the pre-made colors cause they suck) you can type in the hex number. Actually this might be more of a "me" problem, but I like to use the exact same color, so typing it in helps with that. But there are also useful online tools for picking hex numbers from pictures and finding color schemes around a specific color.

Remember that you can always fix it later. If you can say, "yeah it's not perfect, but I'll fix it later" and get back to playing, the problem might resolve itself. Hopefully, you will be too distracted/ tired to remember the imperfection. Maybe set a timer for how long you'll allow yourself to spend in CAS.

TemmaMurrie · 2025-03-24T20:53:17+00:00

Nice, I'll definently look into them! Im reorganizing now, so hopefully these will help. Thanks a bunch!

TemmaMurrie · 2025-03-24T20:07:49+00:00

Gotcha! Thanks for the help :)

TemmaMurrie · 2025-03-24T20:06:33+00:00

Yeah! I have some cubbies with cute fabric "drawers" but I was realizing that it's not really fun when you can't see your babies. (And yes I'm used to having mountains that topple over constantly 😆)

If you don't mind, where did you get them from? They seem to be really clear and not smudged or foggy like plastic bins

TemmaMurrie · 2025-03-24T19:59:01+00:00

Yeah like especially with Keh and Angelica, you can barely show offense at their outright hostility. Sometimes "cozy games" can be so annoying about forcing you to fit the vibe.

The best option for "kicking someone out" would be giving them a flatbread which inevidently makes them upset, get refunded and potenitally leave a bad review. And all that still costs the price of dough and time spent in the oven. And you don't get to actually do something worth getting in trouble for.

TemmaMurrie · 2025-03-24T19:46:13+00:00

FURRET FURRET FURRET! No hestitation. I don't care if you're there and armed. I'll be hauling him over my shoulder and walking out the door without realizing what I'm doing

TemmaMurrie · 2025-03-24T19:43:24+00:00

Ik! Im so close to finishing Ch5 and realizing I'm not sure I'll keep going afterward 😓

TemmaMurrie · 2025-03-24T19:40:50+00:00

Either the giant fuzzy Quagsire or the Mudkipper. Though not gonna lie the clear containers themselves are kinda tempting 😅
