Feedback Wanted: Pet Breed Fixes
This is the first test version of a fix for pet breeds.
Problem: Pet breeds sort of exist, but largely as templates for generating pet appearance. It's possible to adopt a purebred, but the breed information is erased if you use Customize Collar and Coats. Breed information is also not inherited by offspring.
The mod has the following features:
- Interactions to view and set the breed of any pet (cat, dog, or horse)
- Inherit the breed to offspring when both parents are of the same breed.
- Preserve the breed when using Customize Collar and Coats
This isn't really attempting to do anything new with pet breeds. It's just fixing what is there. The primary effect is that the breed will show up when you adopt out the pet.
It might be worth rearranging the pie menu so that both options appear under a single submenu "Breed". The Show/Set breed interaction names are currently hard coded. These are the only things that need translation, since the breed names already have translations.
I have various ideas of what might be fun to do with breeds. The most obvious would be to see if I can do something with the functionality in NRaas Consigner to make the purebred status of the pet a factor in price. There are other bigger dreams that I'm kicking around, but just fixing the storage of a sim's breed seems like a mod on its own.
