Is it a bad thing for your animals to die of old age? What would you recommend doing? To sell, or not to sell? <p></p><i></i>

I don't see why you wouldn't sell...make a little more money off of the things before they croak... ;)

How do you know when they are dying of old age?
Does it just happen without warning? Because I don't see how you would know when to sell a cow before it dies of old age.

Well once your animals get a few years old, start saving every night before you go to bed. Then when you wake up, if your animal has died, load the night before and he'll probably live at least one more day. Then you can sell him if you want.

Right - why would you sell it if it's just sick? Besides, can you even sell sick animals?

This is about animals that are actually about to die.

My question is, will Poppy like you more if you actually kept the chicken all the way until it kicks the bucket 'cause you're loyal to your animals, or would she rather just have you sell it than be traumatized by chicken death (I'm married to Poppy)? In the older HM titles, everytime you wanted to sell an animal, the icon for selling it back would show a chicken or cow with a teardrop, so I always thought it was bad to sell them. Ofcourse, I'm not sure how it works in FOMT, because if it was really a farming sim, farmers sell their animals al the time, 'cause it's all part of the biz.......... :-| :?:

i doubt it! the wife doesn't care what you do on the farm, just as long as she gets to spend all your money. which reminds me! where do they buy their clothes and shoes and shampoo from? they don't even have a bathroom!

I have a bathroom... You buy it from Gotz for 30,000 G and 580 pieces of lumber...

Selling animals doesn't affect the love levels of your other animals or your wife.
