Sima Discussion Thread

[Qualeo]

Here let me explain my idea. I think you all should hear a proper explanation so you understand why I've suggested it.

Right now, Simas that are related cannot breed (For obvious reasons). The problem is, a lot of them come from the same pairing that continues to breed at every chance they get. This increases their fmaily, which makes it hard for the siams related ot them to find a mate they can breed with. Their breeding pool is much lower than that of others.

Honestly as well, it is unnatural how many times some of these simas have bred. This would kill them from all of it. My proposal won't take you sima away. It will give the newer generation a bigger breeding pool. And when the older generation si retired, they'll just watch their families grow form the sidelines. Families don't have tog row just from the starting pair. I think its reasonable to elt the newer generation grow the family rather than the older one.

Solution

"Retirement" - Retire a Sima, making it unbreedable, but still ownable by the owner. This will release a normal slot for the owner to replace the retired sima with a new one that can breed if they wish. This will be not optional at all. We can have a Retirement archive to list the retired simas so we know which cant breed.

You will only be able to retire a sima at the 5 breeding mark - not before or early (To prevent people form trying to hoard simas). Once retired, you'll still be able to rp, etc and own the sima. Nothing will change about the sima.

Cons

-Some people enjoy breeding a lot and would hate to be limited You enjoy breeding - replace the unbreedable with a younger sima. Its that simple

-This would affect player's playstyle You don't need just one sima to breed? You can have 7 simas plus extra with the slots. You're playstyle wouldnt be affected unless you simply refused to adopt any more as your simas became retired. Thats your choice to do that - you're being given a chance to adopt new babies to spoil and cherish

-Simas before the rule Give them 3 more breedings and then they're not allowed any more. An extra 3 breedings. I wouldn't do 5 just because we really need to bottle this up asap.

simas dont need to a limit to breeding it gives them more kits to extend the family!Oh my so many kits are UFA....well that just brings more people to our community.Now please breeding results are one of my FAVORITE things about simas.It would honestly break my point of view on simas.....why?Cole {and other simas} wouldent be a player because he would need a perm. andddd it says in "what are simas?" it says that perm mates are rare so i really just want this to stay i dont care if it lowers of simas being related to each other.It dosent matter if they are related and they cant breed the sima could just find another sima to be mates with.PLEASE KNIGHT PLEASEEE DONT PUT A LIMIT TO BREEDING!

[Wounded God]

-le coughs- Knight I trust you with my so to be litter >:3
and I think that rule will seem fair...as soon as I find out how many slots I have again /).-

[FluffyTheUnicorn]

1. You're not being forced to have a permanent mate. Your sima is just incapable of breeding because they've had so many kits. You get five chances to breed with whatever sima you want. (Also I agree - let snot force perma mates. I've rather have retirement than that. Permanent mates would ruin some simas personalities.)


2. Yes it does. I've seen it happen - a user wants to breed with another user but can't because they both find out that their simas are related. They didn't know, but now they do. And now they can' breed.


Some people said their simas personalities would be ruined - once you get old, you really don't have the drive to "breed" anymore. It doesn't matter if they're the type, they dont have infinite energy. Eventually, you get too tired!

I think the idea of more slots isn't that great for retirement. Most of my Simas have never breeded before even and you don't need to breed it really. A slot is to own one that you love basically. Retirement would honestly make it confusing because then people can get unlimited amount of Simas

New idea: how about we don't allow any Simas to breed every other month. Like next month none can breed then the one after that they can again?

Like a sima breeding season?

[SukarettoYanagi]

That might would work. C:

Exactly. Animals have breeding seasons so Simas should too. We can pick a few months out of the year for breeding and the other they can't so it gives time for babies to grow up. After all it really is like that

They cna only get another every 4 months Knight. And they already have infinite. Super Extra slots are unlimited. You still own the sima But you're giving it a break - something I think a lot of these simas need. I'm emotionally invested i my simas and even fi they're pixels, I understand that they'd be realistically exhausted if they rbed so many times.

And I dont think a breeding season will help unles you say they can only breed duirng that season. Outide of that seaosn, no breeding.

But that doesnt fix the issue knight. Some simas ahve already breed so much. That wont help. And animals dont breed forever. They get tired. They get exhausted.
