Going on a quick rant here... I'm reallllly frustrated with Pets. I hate the adoption system. Everytime I look up pets to adopt, there's nothing in the neighborhood, and only 2 dogs to choose from the shelter. I also can't stand create-a-pet mode, because you can't create puppies, only adults and elders. I just want to have a French bulldog puppy... but apparently, that's too much to ask.

I just need to know a simple way to have the puppy I want. I know only one way to have one. I know I'd have to create and add 2 french bulldogs to my house, have them woohoo and have puppies, then give all but one puppy up for adoption. (Then do the same thing when I eventually add another puppy of a different breed to my household.) But is there a way to have the puppy w/o going through all that trouble? Maybe I'm being too picky... but I just think it's such a hassle to spend time going through that whole process just to have a single puppy. Ridiculous...

Is there a mod out there, or just another way to have a puppy that's quick and pain-free?

Thanks to anyone who can help, (and sorry for the rant)

I don't have pets, but I believe Twallan's master controller will let you add a pet to the household.

If you're trying to find a mod, the best place to post is in the Where Can I Find forum.

Ok, I'll look into it. Thanks!

Hmmmm...If you didn't want to use any mods you could always try making several families with a pair of Frenchies and placing them in the town and hope that nature takes it course and some of the puppies will need to be adopted out.

You could try adopting any puppy, then using cheats to get into CAS. From there change the breed to whatever you want...I haven't tried it, but it could work.

I think I might have found out another way to get the puppy, but I'm not totally sure... I found that magic aging potion thingy lifetime reward for pets. It says that it lets you "turn back time" and "start over." I'm thinking that means if you have an adult or elder dog, you can use that and it will turn them back into a puppy. Is that right? Because if that's the case, I could create an adult French Bulldog then use it, and I'll have my puppy!

...Cuz I just love those chubby little short-haired ewoks, hehe

Sorry i have to say this but the potion doesn't work like that, it turns them back to the begining of adulthood.
Only way you're going to get a puppy is to either to have two dogs in your family and have them make puppies, or like some said place a few adult ones in your town and wait for some one to put one up for adoption.
Although to make the process faster Nraas MasterController have the option of instant baby.

Alright, thanks!
