Originally, pets can give a birth of up to 4 puppies or kitten:
  • 15% chance of 1 offspring,
  • 35% chance of 2 offspring,
  • 35% chance of 3 offspring,
  • 15% chance of 4 offspring.
This mod reduces the number of new-born pets and comes in 2 versions:
  • 25-50-25-0: 25% chance of 1 offspring, 50% of 2, and 25% of 3; no chance of 4 offspring.
  • 50-50-0-0: 50% chance of 1 offspring and 50% of 2; no chance of 3 or 4 offspring.
Use only one version at a time.

Note that if a pet got pregnant before you have installed this mod, such a pregnancy wouldn't be affected.

Tuning
You may make your own version by editing this mod in SimPe:
  1. Open the BHAV resource in the plugin view;
  2. Select the 0x6/0x7/0x8 node;
  3. Open the instruction wizard by clicking on a tool icon, and select the Decimal checkbox in case it's unchecked;
  4. Change the second value (Literal) to:
    • Node 0x6: a chance of 4 offspring,
    • Node 0x7: a sum of chances of 4 and 3 offspring,
    • Node 0x8: a sum of chances of 4, 3, and 2 offspring;
  5. Commit changes in the node with an Okay button, and return to the 2nd point if you haven't changed all 3 nodes;
  6. If you have updated all chances, commit changes in the BHAV with a Commit File button;
  7. Save the file with a floppy disk and a pen button, or by choosing File/Save As... in the top menu.



I am aware that BCONs (tables of constants) are way more edit-friendly. However, to avoid conflicts, I decided not to change the originally used BCON as it contains many unrelated constants.

Conflicts
Do not use this mod with:
  • Larger Litters by Midge the Tree,
  • any other mods that change the number of new-born pets.
This mod must load after Bigger Families by Cyjon. Note that using these mods together also obliges you to edit your userStartup.cheat file in order to change family size limits which aren't ignored in my mod.
