Realistic animals?

Krossus

With "Housing" soon to be released, how do you all feel about having animals that can be accessed? What do you mean by access? I'm just talking about going outside, near your stable, and being able to milk a cow. Perhaps comb the mane of your horse. Sheer the wool from sheep. Chop up a small goat for pepperoni. What do you think?

I shudder to think what all those adventurers will do to their goats in the privacy of their own homes. I mean, does noone see the dangers?

WTF!!

Storage and Guilds Halls. That's what's needed.

Not ...
this.

If you get invited to a player's house and all he has is cats around the place and no cows, don't accept if he offers you a cup of tea.

WTF!!

...Did I accidentally load Stardew Valley again?

Heck yeah, with authentic sounds too!!

I tried placing a few mounts and pets on the PTS housing... the poor things wouldn't even move. They looked like stuffed animals instead of living ones. Making them interactable, or even giving them a small AI, would be awesome.

I'd settle for the pets and mounts moving a bit more.

Some are ok, the monkey is at least sitting down and moves it's arms, so it doesn't seem too strange that it doesn't walk around. But the senche mounts, wolves, senche pets etc. look paralyzed. They stand stiffly in one position and barely even move their head. I was really looking forward to being able to include them in my house but it's just too creepy.

Even if they were fixed in a sitting position (like the dog/wolf in the concept art they're using to advertise Homestead) it would be a vast improvement because it'd look like they want to stay where they are instead of looking like they can't move.

If they can sort that out I'd love to be able to include more animals. Maybe get some of the ambient creatures you can see around, like snakes and frogs and small birds, to place as decorations and then they could use the same animations they do in the rest of the game to move around. Bigger animals like cows, unsaddled horses, guar etc. would be great too.
