I think BitLife needs a MUCH deeper animal system
I love BitLife, and I’ve been thinking about how much potential the animal system has. Right now, animals are mostly something your character owns, but what if they could become a much bigger part of your life?
I’d love to see animals have genetics, pedigrees, health, temperament, personalities, family trees, and individual histories.
And I don't think it should only be dogs and cats. Imagine having horses, rabbits, birds, reptiles, livestock, and other animals, with different systems for each.
You could become a breeder, trainer, professional handler, farmer, competitor, rescuer, etc. Breeding could involve choosing compatible animals, health testing, genetics, pedigrees, and building bloodlines over generations. There could even be responsible vs. irresponsible breeding choices, with consequences for animal health, reputation, finances, and licensing.
Animals could also compete! Dogs could do conformation, obedience, agility, herding, or scent work. Horses could race, do dressage, show jumping, barrel racing, and more.
And imagine having a champion animal and then seeing its descendants generations later. Your character could literally build an animal bloodline that becomes part of their family's legacy.
I feel like this could add an entire new way to play BitLife rather than just being another small feature.
Would anyone else actually want something like this? 🐶🐱🐴❤️
