Quick Info
~~~~~~~~~~
Do you find that your pets live too long? Or maybe they don't live long enough for your Sims to fully enjoy them?
Maybe you wish your pet could be a cute little puppy or kitten for just a little bit longer. Or perhaps you have grown tired of that old dog laying around the house for 7 years always on the brink of death.
This hack decreases the lifespan of pets for their adult and elder life stages. Without a hack, pets can live up to 41 years which is very unrealistic compared to real life where most pets are lucky to reach even 15-20. The human ages in the game are more realistic, being 60-70 on average. So the hack is decreasing (by default) the pet ages for the sake of realism and to make the game more enjoyable (not having a house full of pets that seem to live forever).
Pet Type | Stage | Orig | New

Small Dog | Adult | 26 | 22
