Questions and Problems - Pets on Xbox 360
« on: May 01, 2012, 09:51:43 PM »
Okay! I bought The Sims 3 Pets for Xbox 360. I have a few questions and one problem.

First up is the questions:
1) Is it possible to load a save from my base game and play it on Pets?

2) Can I adopt a pet from the computer?

3) Can I get my pet a job?

4) What town am I in?

5) How do I move back to Moonlight Bay if I can?

And here are the problems:
1) The game is very laggy. One example, is when I go to have a sim do something (like if you click on your sim, there are options like friendly, mean, etc. it is lagging a bit when it tries loads the sub interactions (like Flirt). Or when I have high speed mode on (the three arrows) it lags to do actions. But when it is on regular mode it works fine.

Notes:
I uninstalled the base game from my Xbox 360 hard drive and installed Pets to my Xbox 360 hard drive.

1. If your refering to the base game being The Sims 3 then no as they are two SEPERATE Games.
2. You can adopt a pet from your phone by going to the services part or whatever it's called (sorry ive not played either sims game for ages)
3. I know your dogs can become a police dog and I think you can hunt ghosts with cats.
4. I was going to ask for your postcode so I could check  :P but If I remember correctly for Pets I think it may be Sunset Valley.
5. As with number 1 their seperate games so you can't move back unless I guess you change to the pc version which has more options.

For the Lag Issues I also had the same issue with the ps3 version along with other glitches. (My pc isn't good enough for it's version) which is one of the reasons I decided to stop playing, ive been waiting and hoping for a patch but it doesn't look like one is coming. However the patch for the base game took months so their may still be hope.

Okay, thanks for your help! And it is not Sunset Valley, that is a PC town. On the base game (Yes, The Sims 3) it is Moonlight Bay. On Pets it is Sugar Maple Coast.

I've been playing Pets for awhile now.  I gave up on Sims 3 when my file got corrupted.  It still played, but my sims were walking like robots, you know sort of stuttering.  I noticed on Sims Pets that when I tell my sim to shower or use the toilet, etc., they stand there for a few seconds before doing it. When my sim uses the gym equipment and I fast forward, it stutters.  I am playing a few game saves with different Lifetime wishes.  One of them I am on the 3rd generation, have lots of simoleons and stuff in my house.  This particular game save is starting to lag a lot. I am assuming since the console has a limited memory it will lag.  A good thing that I like is that if you have a dog with digging skills , it comes in handy.  the dog can find some good stuff especially if you get the Awesome Fetch(?) reward (2500 lifetime pts).  Its sort of like your dog being a klepto, he'll come back with a Tv or large statue!  The only thing bad about adopting pets is you don't get to choose like on the pc game.  They just ask what sex and type of pet you want and you're basically stuck with the traits they have.  Otherwise, its an okay game for console.
