Cats and Dogs can have up to three traits. When made in CAS, you get to determine what traits your pet will have. Adopting strays will not afford you that luxury. You can get to know a pet before you adopt it by selecting the 'friendly' menu and 'get to know'. You'll learn one trait each time you use the social. Traits do determine a pet's autonomous behavior and how hard they are to train in certain areas, so they matter from a gameplay perspective. Some traits conflict (active and couch potato for example).

 | Clever | These Cats are fast learners, and some say that they can even understand Simlish when spoken to! | |
 | Curious | These cats are more curious about their surroundings. They like to search different objects around the house. | |
 | Fluffy | These cats are more fluffy than normal! They'll hack up hairballs more often. | |
 | Free Spirit | These cats enjoy wondering around the world, almost as if they were wild animals! But don't worry, they'll always come home for the food. | |

 | Vocal | These dogs like to howl occasionally, and can even sing on command. |

I really appreciate your hard work and dedication to fellow simmer and the game, as Iam sure so are others. I do plan to become a patron member if you are still doing work or at least a one time donation. I have a question and hope you will answer since I believe if you are still doing sims stuff you must be busy, anyway, how do you train pets? I have no idea, and also I have twisted mex script to allow me to move things around it doesn't allow outside the grid placement. One other thing, how do I get to the world screen to build without moving in a Sim? Please let me know if you are still doing Sim stuff. Thanks :)
