So i've been scavenging around other games and stuff and came across some things that would be pretty cool. One thing is Pets! if anything, Dogs in particular to have dog fights. Take your dogs to the vet to get them healed, train them, etc. There can even be a dog competition thing, but you would have to increase the dog's intel stat or whatever that would be. And why not, we can have other animals as pets XD and can do the same stuff just to make everybody happy. Have Komodo Dragon in dog fights lol.

Not particularly, I wasn't around, but I heard people were struggling to keep their dogs alive as they had to feed them manually and a fair number of people thought it was too far even for a crime RPG.
Edboy [2074786]

ah. Too far as in ethical (dont tell me there's a digital PETA) or just too much to have to deal with? I understand that it's probably too much to deal with, but it would be optional to have your pets fight. Stiil would be nice to have them go out and search for stuff for a whole day or so, etc. Back then it was probably just dog fighting and that was that. Edit: come on Ash. If you're gonna tell me to do my research atleast tell me the exact reason instead of a "but i heard" ._.
AshleyT [1432316]

When the only research possible is through forums, that's all I can say.

And to be fair PETA does go for digital sometimes as well.

Every suggestion to return the feature has been swamped with downvotes and staff outright said no because of the legacy of the original Torn City Dog fighting. It was a feature even before my time and the only firsthander I know of has over 4000 days in the game, so it's a very old feature but it left a big mark.

The only thing I know for certain that to start this process, you had to buy a dog, feed it manually every day, then let it literally rip a cat to pieces before then letting it take part in dogfights.

The legacy is so strong that even suggestions that mean pets purely provide perks never make it.

i do like the sims. XD. and what do you mean by the whole legacy thing Ashley? Is it just more of a thing for older players to have that special thing they remember? And I would be annoyed if people kept sending me pets XD
