Why is that? It's a Maxis bug. This one also had a simple fix - a BCON in objects.package
Here's the issue:
As you can see, some Maxis employee probably forgot to add a minus before that 50. This means that with the STR threshold of 60 for Adopting a stray, they immediately left when it reached 50. This meant you could barely if ever adopt a stray without using a hack. The stray left before you could adopt them and then they Never Ever appear on the lot again.
This is the fix itself:
Now pets will leave the lot immediately only when STR is -25 or lower.
Conflicts:
- None found. Will conflict with anything that changes the same BCON - 0x7F67DD1B
- Made using UC; Pets obviously required.
