Default Dogs and burglars
So I'm watching this burglar trying to sneak into my Simmie's house, and it occurs to me: what if there was a Great Dane sleeping on the couch? Surely it would react to an intruder. I mean, that's central to a dog's nature. That set me to wondering how much territoriality Maxis built into our future pets. Will they bark at the mailman, or chase off stray cats? I was just wondering, because dogs wouldn't be dogs if they didn't do some of that.

Oh those are good questions and now I wonder too. I mean a lot of people in real life have big dogs for protection and such. That would be cool if they went after a burgler.

Oh and can you just see the mail carrier being chased down the street by the dog?! *lol* That teach them to deliver the bills! :D

That would be great. Or if the dog was outside & was barking & woke up the family. Your own burglar alarm.

I think it would also tie in with the dog's personality. From what I've seen in screenshots, the personality bars include one that is Cowardly/Aggressive.

I would like to clear up the little matter of my sanity as it has come into question. I am not in any way, shape, or form, sane. Insane? Hell yes!

People keep calling me 'evil.' I must be doing something right.

Yep that would be cool with the burglars. With the territory thing I read somewhere about a stray dog coming near a house where a cat lived and the cat went after it and attacked the dog hehe.

i rad somewhere that dogs will chase the mail carrier or the newpaper deliverer off the lot. so im guessing that they would do the same for intruders.

I think this is the article chickenlittle and lulie_x meant.

"For example, a Security dog might want to learn how to play dead to be effective at her duties, just as a Service dog needs to be able to sit when asked and chase after certain people, which involves a lot of training (more on that shortly)."





Also, the Sims Zone said, "Dogs can also play catch if you like, or chase the mailman."
