Rarity, here at WK is calculated in several ways.  We have tried to blend set trait points with the true rarity of % points and even on some a % point with a bonus for being a extremely low number with in the % point.  Trying to make it as clear as possible what an animals trait count is at that very moment.  Moment being the key word, as new Breeds are introduced or new Species for that matter your trait points will be higher as there are very few out there. As more are produced the numbers will shuffle and some will fall. This is more noticeable in the beginning and levels off rapidly so it doesn’t change as much once the breed/species is established.

The Winter Festival Big Cat

Introducing the new WK Winter Festival Collector’s Edition Clouded Leopard. This amazing cat features Prehistoric teeth and the new Christmas Eve eye. It’s also packing a brand new ear you can breed for, the mega-sized “Batty” ear. While these new traits are exciting however, that’s not the most exciting part. In case you hadn’t noticed, this cat introduces a brand new breed of leopards…Clouded leopards…and this new breed ONLY comes from this cat and will not show up randomly. The beautiful Tumpat-GreyNose fur passes as a Exclusive Fur and will not be randomly introduced and there are other new furs to discover as you build up this new breed.

Winter Festival Wild Dog

Brand new for the WK Winter Festival and just in time for the holiday season is the new LE Timber Wolf. The LE Timber Wolf has the new and exclusive “Winter Awakening” eyes plus Fangs, Paw tongue, Floppy ears and Moonlight Glow! The fur does not pass and Ho Ho Ho !!! is not a complete leg set and will not pass Extra Large scale. The parents in the background of this wolf also has some furs that have yet to be found that will pass. This is a must have for any wolf breeder’s pack!

Did you know that somewhere between 75-80% of all cats on the grid have Natural teeth? Trying to get something other than Natural teeth on your cats can help set your cats apart from the crowd.

Some teeth are unlocked at various levels and will randomly show up when you level up or down at the appropriate levels. Fangs, Single Fang, Snaggle and Baby Teeth are all examples of that. That’s great but remember since they are random drops they are not destined to stay rare for a long time and as breeders we all want something rare in our cats.

If you are looking for something rarer that will stay that way, consider Sabertooth, Prehistoric, Long Tooth Single Fang, Broken Tooth and Crooked Tooth. These teeth are often over looked by breeders, especially the newer breeders, because they are not new. However, these teeth are rarer and are limited. None of the five are available as random drops but have come from various Sanctuary, Limited Edition and Collector’s Edition Cats and the only way to get them is from these special cats or through the secondary market. In the long-term, they will always be rarer than any teeth that show up randomly and because of that and the fact that their visual impact is striking, they add value to your pride.

This is NOT a mandatory update 2.2.75 it fixes a few bugs probably unnoticed by you AND it makes alllll the marvelous new toys work on the cats annnd the slippery ice.
(the wolf update will be along soon but not today)

Best practice of course is to have both sacks and cats updated to the current version.  You may do this in your own time.  MOOG has the current version of the updater.  The individual and the by species versions of the animals.  This is NOT a food update.  This is for your cats and your cat sacks.  It will not harm a pregnancy in anyway shape or form to MOOG a pregnant MOM to be or a Dad to be.

The calendar is posted on the side bar for the times of the musical performances.

We will have a few other events to add to the calendar and will let you know about them as best we can about 30 minutes before hand in the various groups.

We hope you will all bring a pet for a walk and enjoy the displays that your fellow breeders have done and enjoy some wonderful performers or just some Christmas Music.

We all know that having rare traits in your pride adds value and makes the cats you sell more desirable. While it is great to unlock a new fur by achieving a new level, we know those are not destined to stay rare for a long time. But, what if you could breed for an exclusive fur, one that will never show up randomly? Well, you can and some of you already are.

A few months ago, and at the request of breeders, we at WK made sweeping changes to the way furs, levels, breeds and species work that made it possible to truly breed for a specific fur. Along with that, we have been releasing a new line of Sanctuary cats that will pass an exclusive fur that only comes from those cats. Additionally we released the Cecil’s Pride Tribute cat with an exclusive fur that will pass. And, there is more to come. We all want something rare, that will stay rare and THIS is the way to get it. Breeding for these exclusive furs is not easy but that is the point. If it is easy, it will not stay rare for long. However, it is very possible and some of you are already having success.

It is important to remember that furs no longer have levels. Once you have these exclusive furs in your pride they are free to move up and down the levels. You can achieve higher levels by breeding them with higher-level cats of the SAME BREED…not species. Other breeds, or even species, can add traits but levels are tied to the breed and not the species. Breeding a low-level cat with a higher-level cat of a different breed, even if it’s the same species, will not help increase its levels.

Breeding for exclusive furs gives you that rare trait that all breeders seek, giving their pride an edge.

It’s that time of year when you start to think of present and gift giving. What better way to decorate your sim then with camouflage food items as presents.  We have two sets one for your Big Cats and one for the Wild Dogs.  Available at all WK Store locations.

Just in time for the US holiday of Thanksgiving we have for you this adorable Turkey.  He will hop around your sim trying to survive the holiday. He is a must have for your WK Animals. On sale at both the main sims.
