They can survive inside long enough for you to get a dog and train it to take them out. Their stress will build up slightly while inside, but it never got high enough for me at least to get them sick. Just keep an eye on it, and if they really seem to be getting stressed, just push them outside for a day to reset their stress levels.

livestock have a limited lifespan in all of the games as far as I'm aware, but I think OP just meant pets.Celestrian wrote:I do the same thing with my animals except for AP because in AP I could just easily call them back in. FomT/MfomT is the only game I know of that has a lifespan for livestock.
Tbh i'm not sure about the pet thing. I mean, I would assume they live forever? Pets have never died in past games, I don't see why they would now.

Kind of off topic, but does anyone know if villagers lose friendship points if an animal dies in this game? I recall playing HMDS recently, and a couple animals died of sickness from a typhoon. Long story short, I ended up dropping a heart color with some bachelorettes, so I hope this annoying feature didn't carry over to 3oT.
If they don't *gain* stress for being outside, then my train of thought is... barring friendship, that the only reason it'd be convenient to herd them outside is so that you can take care of all your animals on one screen, instead of having to load into a billion areas to take care of them. Esp since the products don't hop into the great beyond and they won't be all crowded and horrible together.
I read in one place that they actually gain stress if they're put outside more than every other day, but I don't remember the source, and hope that's not the case because that'd be stupid.

Actually, I think dying of sickness is bad in every game? You have animal medicine to cure it.Anna_Lynn wrote:Kind of off topic, but does anyone know if villagers lose friendship points if an animal dies in this game?

Dying of old age isn't.
Anyway, you can go out in typhoons now.

I think Neil actually scolds you for letting a animal die even though it's not my fault you idiot.Blademaster_Aio wrote:Actually, I think dying of sickness is bad in every game?
