I'm curious, can you buy items still in the store, or is it purely decorative (besides the stealing?)
*wants to play Pets so badly*

you can only buy objects at the pet store...

I adopted a puppy through the paper and when he grew he was a small dog. Well, I wanted my sims boys to have a German Shepherd so I changed him through CAP this way.

Sadly, it worked out oddly. Because he was a little dog, when I turned him into a large dog there were some issues happening. He looked fine when he walked but whenever he went to do or think of something else he would morph back into a small dog with the Shepherd's coloring.

The morphing was odd because not only would his size and color change but he would look completely disfigured for a moment before returning to normal, not stretched or anything, it just looked like there were two dogs morphing into one bizarre animal.

I haven't had this issue with cats, horses or large dogs, but for some reason changing small to big gave me plenty of hang ups.

lol...i bet that did look odd....i guess you could always look for one of the larger dogs to adopt...
just have to remember that in the future....

Yeah, the game would still think he's a small breed dog, so all the animations would be small breed animations.

Exactly! I know we can use testingcheatsenabled to enter CAP but I wanted to be able to BUY my own pet, I really don't see the point in a useless pet shop; it's stupid & pointless!!!

The pet shop isn't even part of the EP... was bonus content for preorders. So yah, I'm not arguing it's not pointless, but it's not really a game feature either

I like some of the extra pet items that came with the store, like the palm tree scratching post and the super-fancy bed. Luckily they're all in BuyDebug, so I just put em in a collection so I can access them more easily and buy em from the catalog when I want them

To me the Pet Store is useless. You can still buy all the objects from Buy Debug > Misc anyway. And no-one has appeared as the cashier even after playing several sim-days. What a waste of time All it did was made me miss S2 stores where you can actually buy everything you need, including pets.

Did you try replacing the cash register?

I did, several times. I even downloaded a fix for the register from MATY and it still doesn't work. But I'm very happy to use Buy Debug so it doesn't matter anymore.

can you use buydebug and get the stuff without the limited edition game? im very annoyed at EA for doing this as i could not afford to preorder the game.
