You can only attempt one mating per day, but if it takes, you'll be informed of it through notifications. When both pets approach each other, their version of Sims Woo Hoo is just a bunch of jumping around with hearts exploding out of both. Pets that are in the same family will naturally come to like each other anyway, and a few Be Nice To commands should put them over the edge. This is different from past games where pet pregnancies lasted as long as human Sims’.

The gestation period will also only last for roughly 24 hours in Sim time.

If you own both pets, just a few Be Nice To commands should be enough. The Mating Cycle For Cats & Dogs You may have suspected that only females can give birth, when it comes to animals and this is correct. You won't be able to view their relationship meters, but they do exist. They will head to the target and politely sniff at each other, thus raising their relationship meters with each other. When a pet receives this command, they will almost always follow it. To help the situation, you can use the social command "Be Nice To…" and select the target. If they growl or hiss at each other (accompanied by both animals thinking of the other one with red slashes through the face), they are not at a high enough relationship with each other to mate. The command will make your pet approach the target, but what happens from there may not be a good thing. Pets often don't want to mate with strangers or strays.
