The Sims 2: Pets

Sorry you do not understand how to make your pet into a stray.

If you have a pet you just simply build a fence around them and fence them in till they want to run away.

You have to starve the pet till you get a notice saying, '' [enter pets name here] has ran away.' It takes a long time to do this; about a week in Sim days to achieve the wanting of your pet to run away.

Plus you cannot play or wash them. There is to be no social interaction with the pet during this time.

And if they pass out; it is only that and they will be okay, just revive them or let the paramedic do it.

Eventually they will want to run away.

So once you get the message saying that they have, go into the buy catalog and purchase a gate and place it on the enclosure / fenced in pet.

The pet / your pet will run away and off the lot.

Now you have created a stray.

To get a stray to join your family; all you do is go to Town Square and wait awhile to see if your pet has showed.

1. if not, leave and return till it does show up.

2. Once it does show up. Just get a tug toy out and play with it like you normally do and then click on to the social interation again.

In the Social interactions you will see a listing, it will say, ' Check micro Chip, ' Shoo pet away' and ' Take in as a stray', click on the take in as a stray and your aspiration will flip to a new one.

Hope this helps.
