Create-a-Pet is an area where we think we’ve always delivered a great feature in previous versions, so the bar was set rather high. We asked ourselves a few questions early in development:. Can we make it as powerful as The Sims 3, but more accessible?. How do we design fur that matches The Sims 4’s art style?. How many breeds can we make? The Sims 3 had so many!. Can we make a splash with a new twist?The Sims 3’s Create-a-Pet had a layer system mimicked some professional graphics tools.

But, it was so difficult to use, and we found most players weren’t able to tap into its power. If a great feature falls in the woods and nobody is there to play it, does it make a sound?From the outset, we took the lessons from The Sims 4 Create-a-Sim and applied them to Create-a-Pet. Now, you can click and drag on pets to make their ears longer, their eyes cross, and their snouts longer. It’s fun, and there are so many ways to tweak your pets that it’ll make the version with Sims look tame by comparison. Instead of complicated layers, you can now directly paint on the coat, erase marks, rotate spots, and even tweak things like opacity without having to manage the layers. You can create breeds like Calico Cats or Siberian Huskies with complicated coats just like you could previously.We also added a few tweaks to make it even easier.

For example, you can use Stencils! Complicated patterns will blink on your pet. You choose a color, click the mouse, and it’ll fill in the blanks where you click. It’s so easy and fun to create a pet that is unique to you.Matching the art style of The Sims 4 with complex fur wasn’t a small task and it took our team months to find a solution. We wanted our cats and dogs in The Sims 4 to all look more distinct, like their real-life counterparts, but also to have the “body and fullness” that Sim hair has in The Sims 4. To accomplish this, we added “snap on parts” for the pets.

Little tufts of hair, beards, and patches of fur to create dynamic and interesting fur patterns. You can especially see this for breeds like the Golden Retriever or Poodle.We spent months studying head shapes, ear shapes, tails, coat colors, and more to find ways to maximize just how many unique, special cats and dogs we can craft. As a result, I can name almost every dog in the game from memory. Test me!Every pet looks so distinct, and now we have a search function to find them. Look for the bizarre, skin-tight Spynx or fluffy Persian. In the canine corner, the Airedale Terrier looks perfect and you can choose from a Pembroke OR Cardigan Welsh Corgi.

Every pet looks special, but you’ll find that this isn’t just about looks. When we dive into Live mode, you’ll discover how special and unique they are in behavior as well.Perhaps you want a mutt or mixed breed instead? We love mutts too! With the click of a button, you can choose any two breeds and randomize between them until you get the right features. Which, of course, you can then customize.Two of my favorite breeds are the Labrador Retriever and Australian Shepherd.

I love the Breed Mix tool as it lets me get the slick coat of a lab, with the vibrant Aussie pattern. Or, I can hit randomize again to get a fluffier Black Lab with two differently colored eyes. This tool perfectly demonstrates our entire goal with The Sims 4 Create-a-Pet: More power, better looking Pets, easier than ever!Finally, we wanted to do something new.

Something special. We wanted to make a splash. Can you say shark costume? Why stop at the water’s edge!

Put a piece a toast on your kitty’s head, dress your pet in a taco, or aid their roar with a dino costume. Sure, you can focus on their harness, or collar, but why stop there when you can give your Doberman a fluffy winter cap? You wouldn’t.You are going to have so much fun playing with The Sims 4 Create-a-Pet feature. I am positively typing this with glee because I think it may be the best creative tool we have ever made. Choose from a huge assortment of breeds.

Mix them to create the perfect mutt or unique mix. Paint that spot you want in seconds. Dress them in a ridiculous costume.

I wish I had the description in front of me right now. It made me wonder even more on what career to follow. It states you may make the monsters via any way you can - science, invent and/ or the occult (something like that - lol!) I have done the Devinci lifetime wish but my Sim was registered as a sculptor - so I didn't know you could make Simbots as an inventor.

Even at level 10 in inventing I couldn't make a Simbot - apparently only registered inventors can.Hmm, I'm rambling - I've completed Divinci and the the Ghost hunter lifetime wish and neither gave me the option to make a monster. I have never done the Science career so have gotten her a job there as I've heard they can create hibrids (is that right?).Anyway, thanks for the response. If you hear anything - please pass it my way. I thought about mummies, too, and gave it a try.

It depends on how you count the 'time', there is also a big luck factor in this LTW (no matter the way you choose). I think that in real-life time, inventing is fastest simply because you will spend almost all your time in fast forward as it requires little micro-management. If you count it in sims days though, it can get pretty close and luck in finding the pieces will pretty much make the difference as inventing is limited because it needs to grow lifefruits (never had trouble finding rare stones with miner), and mummy probably win in terms of non-travel days.

Well the inventing path revolves around 4 commands (invent, read book, tend garden and drill) so as far as easy goes. That is pretty much it. But nothing in the sims is particularly difficult anyway. Now I'm thinking of 'Supernatural' and the hot monster-hunting Winchesters (and the hot and socially incompetent angel), but they don't only hunt demons there, they hunt ghosts, vampires and werewolves too (and a mass of other stuff)!

If we ever get that amazing EP filled with supernatural creatures, I want to have a 'Hunter' career; as in a hunter of the supernatural, not poor animals! We don't only need more monsters, we need people to hunt them down and kill them, too!.insane glee.clears throat. Yeah, this LTW sounds a bit tricky for newly made sims, but for sims you've already played with for a while and gotten some collecting and gardening done with already, it shouldn't be hard. My sim Arianna would be able to make a SimBot her first day, she already has a mass of Lifefruits, gems and metals to spare. And she sure needs someone to do the chores for her and her family, as I never give the family break enough for ridiculous things such as cleaning, gardening, doing the dishes, emptying the potty, etc.

They have Masterpieces to write and paint, and lots of things to collect around town, after all. A slave SimBot would be very useful, and I can't wait until getting Ambitions!Hope I didn't go too much off-topic.innocent smile.
