Heyo! So, may I please premise this with: Please, do not bombard me with "just go look on the MP lol" responses! Thank you! ^^ To be fair, I've looked. <3 For these plights, I'm honestly hoping for some personal experiences that can relate to the topics I'm seeking so that I don't end up just buying everything and end up not liking but one thing. >< suggestions of places to look still appreciated too. <3 if you have to suggest MP, links or names of stores would be fantastic. <3 So! First! I'm looking for pets--any kind, I'm open at the moment. And what I mean by pets is: Non-player/avi/scripted/interactive sorts of pets. Not breedables, either, please. Think maybe something like a dog, for example, that I might rez at my place and it goes off to do its thing and wander around to sort of bring some life to my home. I'd like to be able to give it commands and maybe feed/care for it and maybe even play with it if the sophistication is there in the design, but I would prefer not having to spend excess Linden outside of what I paid to own the dog to do that. But if paying a couple Linden here and there is a thing in ownership, I'm not entirely ruling the option out--it's just not my preferance. I don't know much else about these sorts of things to offer more specifics, so I'll just say I'm up for any suggestion when it comes to prim and those minute specs. I've dug around on the internet and found an old old thread in the forums that had a similar topic and people suggested LoLo, VKC, A.I.F, and Jian. But I think that was a 2011 thread and just wanted to know if you Forum Lovelies knew of any others with it being about 7 years later, or if you guys knew of these and maybe could give some advise on how any of their products fair? I know VKC you can train the animals and Jian had followable furbabies, but that's the extent of my knowledge on those I listed above and I remember both being a wee bit expensive to buy sort of blindly. >< I just recently found Free Bird and bought a few hamsters from them. They have cute, little creatures that you just click once a week to care for them and they run around on their own in their little containers. For the price, I think they're adorable and worth it. Not extremely prim heavy either; though I think I'd like a little more interaction than that and maybe bigger animals. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- In a similar vein, I'm also looking for interactive plants I could maybe grow in an SL garden? I don't mean anything as sophisticated as a breedable that needs me to purchase A, B, and C or a farming/life simulator, but definantely maybe something that still produces a product I could show/give to others or use as decor. I don't have any specific plant types in mind, and once more, I'm not trying to be specific on prim and those details either. In my research, I've found Free Bird also has these sorts of things but the end result doesn't give any item or anything and the product you purchase from them only needs to be clicked once a week for care. I've also found the Nexus cannabis plants that do result in things you can give to people, but this is where I'm hoping someone has some insight as to how well this works and likes or dislikes they could share. <3 But the idea of the Nexus plant is sort of what I want, where I have to invest a little time and "care" without, preferably, paying extra Linden outside of the initial purchase and maybe end up with a made product (even if it's the same thing) over and over after the growth cycle is finished. And to back track a little, I'm not entirely opposed maybe to a farming simulator sort, I've personally used Aura for a few months now, but I'm not really trying to get into something that requires me to maintain my character as if she were a Sim in the Sims games--like needing to eat and so on. I'm aware of Life2 and G&S (I think it is), and I thought those two were similar to Aura in the maintaining your character aspect. I haven't tried DFS and am not aware if it works similar to the others; but I do know with DFS you have to buy (for instance) a cow for fertilizer (which you then care for all seperate) for the plants or just the fertilizer, since it eventually runs out. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry for the long post, but thanks to all of ya and any suggestions!
