Help with pet relationships

[KyriAnn]

How can I improve the relationship between the pets in my household? I made a household with 1 person and 2 cats (male/female pair), hoping to breed the cats. However, the relationship between the cats just isn't improving, and I can't convince them to breed! Any suggestions on how to help them get along better?

Use a cheat code to control animals :p

Or don't let the sim to interact with them.
When both social needs are very low, they will interact.

Oh yeah, you'll need to use both cheat codes - they are as follows

boolprop ControlPets [on/off] (Makes pets fully controlable, but you can't cancel actions from their queue)

boolprop PetActionCancel [true/false] (Makes actions in a pet's queue accessible)

The second one will make it easier if you want to swap things around in their queue or something.

I haven't tried it so I don't know what options will be there, but surely you can make them interact with each other that way.

Just an update - I was able to do it without cheats! If you praise your pet when it plays, and max out the "praise for being playful" thing, you get a new command for that pet, "Play with..." and you can command it to play with another pet in the house. Then the relationship goes up really fast! :)

Thank you for the cheat info too - that'll come in handy when I don't want to wait!

Awww how cute. I've been playing with those two cheats on and I LOVE them. I'm hoping they'll work and default to always being on if I add them to my userstartup.cheat file
