Congrats MomOfMany, that was an amazing score.
My sim set herself up in the sea front house in Brindleton Bay, which she bulldozed before she moved in. Her traits were loves outdoors, dog lover and cheerful with friend to animals as her aspiration. The lot traits started as private dwelling, peace & quiet and dog hangout. She immediately joined the goodtimers to get rally the troops but then created her own club to control perks and activities. She bought a satelite dish, a computer and an aquarium set her own club to focused and researched vamp lore until she could make plasma packs. She then bought cheap fish from the aquarium, converted them to plasma packs and sold them until she had most of Fab Wealthy done. The accumulated satisfaction points were spent on anti-septic, morning sim and later night owl, the club perks were spent on dog training skill and better happy vibe levels. The money was spent on a surgery station, 2 automatic food bowls and a bath. The peace & quite lot trait changed to training ground.
She then went hunting for strays and luckily found 3 that she could adopt. Once they were part of the household and had been neutered it was a case of training and rallying troops with breaks to teach pee outside and any other misbehaviours that happened. Day 2 saw 4 more strays turn up due to dog hangout which where duely adopted and neutered and then dog hangout was switched to penny pixies. One of the dogs came with squirrel scratch which was easily dealt with on the surgery station and then the train, rally troops and teach random misbehaviours continued until they had all learned the 8 tricks.
At this point I disbanded the club, bought a bed, toilet, shower, counters, fridge and trash can. Food was made and left on the floor, the trash can was emptied and cancelled to leave piles of trash on the ground, the only indoor space was the bathroom so puddles were everywhere and my sim got to experience eating and sleeping.
In the end all the dogs learned to pee outside, not to bark at people and not to drink from puddles. Most learned not to eat human food or play in puddles and a few had learned not to beg, drink from toilet, wake people up, jump on counters, eat the trash or play in the trash. I didn't use the 'attack ...' command at all so probably missed a few points there. I found that correcting 'knock out trash' corrected 'play in trash' so basically 1 misbehaviour with 2 names. Apart from the dog who was sick when adopted, only 2 got ill as elders.
