Thanks for your reply, David.
I agree to the most of your points. Well, let me add something. We are always talking about a "pet" mod. But in my opinion it's an universal mod. You can use it to create numerous characters or items instead of just pets.
For example you could make the rabbit to a Ferrari and the food to gasoline and depending on it's level the car could earn prize monies for you. Or you can create little virtual girl/boyfriends which have the kids to care. Or instead pets you can use the mod to offer houses that members can buy and have to maintain.
Or you could create forums jobs using the mod. Well, short you can use it for numerous purposes. As for me, I'm using the pet mod on my adult board to offer kind of Penthouse pets, you know what I mean. lol
Anyway, there practically no limits in my opinon. That's what makes the mod so great.
Although I wish the mod would be easier to costumize and that there would be more interesting skills.
