The Sims 2: Refresh the Pet Adoption Pool! (+ useful pets mods)

et apton

I kinda wish there was a mod that made strays show up in the adoption pool.

I checked the method with no stray respawn mod (turns out that I didn't have that mod installed, dunno how) and it caused generating only 2-3 new large dog puppies in my game.

wake up babe, new sims 2 pets lore just dropped

You don't need clean stealth hood, you can remove it entirely and il'll work.

As you can see by my icon lol, I'm a huge Pets player. Most of my families have at least one dog or cat, usually adopted. When the whole adoption pool gets down to about 2 pages of pets, it'll spawn a few more. I find that it generally spawns puppies/kittens along with a few adults.

Thank you so much! I learned so many new things from this video, that I will definitly make use of in the future!

why does the phrase “baby pets” make me so happy hahahaha

omg, about month ago i was searching for this baby pet creator mod (i have it on my other pc in my parents house so) aand i couldnt find it. u r my hero right now.

bonkers my beloved

Thank you, now I feel like I need to refresh my mods folder!

(guys who gave away my dog said he would be like Shiba Inu - he was, but he grew taller than a golden retriever)

This is unrelated but just curious if you know of a fix to an issue involving adult females with skin 1 having the face tone of skin 3. I tried removing my default replacement skin, using one that didn’t have this issue, removing all mods and collections clearing cache deleting everything and reinstalling and still the issue persists… 😭

Thank you for the informative video as always! I've been wondering how I can get new puppies and kittens in adoption pool properly since I have no stray respawn mod in my game. Your video has definitely come in handy! Also I didn't know there were two versions of that mod, so I should check them out and decide which one will work best for my gameplay. 👍🏻

Thanks so much for this video! I learned a lot and I'll probably watch it again soon, to get stuff done step by step :P

I usually put up for adoption baby pets created with the baby pet creator. I wanna say that I became a true breeder because with this mod I accidently mixed one pet with their parent and I wondered why the family tree was so broken.

This was an amazing video, I learned so much! Thanks a ton for making this!

New videoooo,

I needed something like this for one of my custom hoods 🙏🏻

I have a question! Whenever you make new breeds in CAS, is it just for that particular save game or does it save it to the Pet breeds folder where it can be used across save games?

I don’t even play with any sort of mods or anything and half the time I’m too busy to play sims 2, but that doesn’t stop me from clicking on these videos every time they get recommended. I Love this channel and it’s content

This is a bit of an unrelated question but I guess the Marticore comment section is my best chance: How do I give a pet a last name?
Like they have one when you create them in CAS but how do I give them e.g. the family's last name when adopting them?
I really hope it is possible without SimPE. Ingame mods or cheats would be ideal.

Btw I need to get that statue. Would make breeding easier for my playstyle where I love to trace family trees

I know I am very late but rl was busy... Thank you so much for the video! :) I was the one (or just one if there where multiple people) asking for this. I am making sure to bookmark this for whenever I forgot what to do to have new pets. :D Very useful, thanks again. ❤

My game always refreshes puppies & kittens. Wish I knew how so I could let people know what to do.

OMG I need this ! Thank u so much <3 😊 this video is super helpful

My go-to technique to have more pets in the adoption pool is send the puppies and kittens of other families' pets to the adoption thing on the phone xD
I also usually save their breed (I love to experiment and pair different breeds!) and I get the feeling some strays have started appearing as my custom breeds xD

Last time I tried to use Sims PE I could never get into my neighborhood again and I lost all my progress. I tried to download and install a mod that let you pick custom eye colors, but I had way too many sims in one neighborhood so it would never fully finish installing 😢 I want to try this so bad.

You said I could also adopt all the animals for adoption? All the babies, adults and seniors? I might do that honestly idk

Nice! I think I did this accidentally, because when I installed The Sims 2 on my new laptop, I had a bunch of random, never-before-seen strays and pets up for adoption...and I love it! Thanks for the info!

I know it’s been a year but I don’t want my family bins to be deleted because I do want to play with them at some point. So it would be safe to just download a clean template of Pets folder and delete de character files of pets?

trying so hard to recreate that adorable kitten in your thumbnail😭
