Animal Pens?

Any one know if animal pens may be something brought back that we can add to our yard with img? They sure looked good, and I would love it if we could have a "home" for them. I know we have sticks and radius upgrade cards now, but I always dug the pens. Might that be an option in the future?

  • I liked the pens, too. I have sticks, but I don't use them.

  • I totally misread the subject line.

    This may have involved the insertion of an 'i' somewhere.

  • I would only like the sticks if I could separate my piggies. I would love a pen, that we could make big!

  • Yeah in my house I put my piggies on shelves to separate them. But now that I have 40, 10 shelves doesn't seem enough, cuz there's 4 pigs per shelf now.

    I wish I could do the same thing on the street. Like, install 'plateau' background objects or something that i can stick em on, that don't interfere with the placement of resources (kinda like how you see a tree on the lower ground with a rocky plateau above it that you can jump up to and walk around on in groddle heights and whatnot).

  • Yeah, I totally agree with the plateau idea. There was this raised portion of the lower ground in my Shimla Mirch home before where I placed my piggies. Very convenient to have them just walk across the plateau (or raised portion) area, away from my crops. Now I just put them in shelves.

    And yes, animal pens do seem necessary. Honestly, I liked them better than those animal sticks.

  • I'd be happy with sticks of different kinds... meaning not sticks at all, but things that function as a stick. I was actually having this discussion with a group the other day.

    Pigs could have a mud puddle. It would basically function as a piggy stick, but wouldn't look dumb. Chickens would, of course, have a chicken coop. Butterflies might have some special littler flower bed-type item. Basically anything to make things not look so out of place.

    Or pens would be nice, too :)

  • Oooh, Crystal, I love your idea!

  • I remember them telling us no more animal pens, just sticks during one of the housing release cycles (and yes, too lazy to find the actual post)...however, I love Crrrystal's ideas...

  • Thanks for the input b3achy. I LOVE your idea too, Crrrystal!

  • +1 Crrrystal, or give the option to customize the stick (like the note post). Maybe your ideas could be one of the customization choices.

  • +1 Phenomenal idea.... i hope the devs will take this idea into consideration... **HINT HINT** ;)

  • +1 for pens. I bought my old house partially because of the large pen. The sticks are too messy ... even with the radius. They just don't look as neat and clean.

  • I really mess pens too. They looked good and it did make it feel like that's where the piggies live. The stick annoys me, while I'm trying to pet/nibble I keep clicking on it.

    There is a street style (Birch Grove) that looks like it has a pen on one side. Which is sorta nice and I'd love to see more like it if pens are never going to come back.

  • I did put this in the "Idea forum" hoping T S might decide to do it. I would love a pen also

  • And point of note, they weren't really planning to bring back cabinets until enough people voiced their desire for them...so if enough folks want them brought back, they may try to figure out a way to do it.  I'm personally pretty content with the sticks (though I like the customization idea), but I know a lot of folks like large herds of animals, so for them pens probably would be a better option.

  • I hope pens will be optional, if they come back - I prefer free-range piggies!
