A player ofThe Sims 4has managed to accidentally hire a cat as a wedding musician, with some unintended side effects. The addition ofcats has provided new gameplay opportunities in The Sims 4, but this seems to be a step further than intended by developer Maxis.
As a life simulator, one of the main features ofThe Sims 4is that players are able to live vicariously through the game and make choices they wouldn’t normally make in real life. This could definitely apply here, with a cat seeming to be a strange choice for a wedding musician, to say the least. It’s this freedom of choice that has kept players ofThe Simscoming back to the franchise for over two decades now. The developer’s perfection of the formula has meant that few have even tried to release a competitor over the years.

The cat musician was posted by Redditor DoodlePanda36, and according to the user, it had the unintended side effect of the cat attacking the wedding guests. Combine this with theSims 4Extreme Violence mod, and this could have been quite a sight. Unfortunately, the Redditor didn’t say exactly how they were able to hire a cat as a wedding musician. It’s not a normal feature of the game, so it’s possible that it’s a glitch, or a conflict in the user’s mods causing this to happen. The modding scene for the game is extremely active, and most players now play the game with some mods enabled, so it’s more than likely down to this, even if they’re not aware of what mod is exactly causing the problem.
When cats were first introduced to the game inThe Sims 4: Cats & Dogsexpansion pack, most wouldn’t have predicted them being used as a wedding musician. While the DLC provided more ways to interact with cats than ever before, this was certainly not the intention. In the thread itself, users made light of the situation, with one gamer saying “Something tells me Chotto lied on their resume,” while another described the situation as a “cat-astrophy.”
Gamers will be hoping that cats are part of the base game ofThe Sims 5when it finally releases. Until now, cats and dogs have been reserved for paid expansion packs in previousSimsgames, but ultimately a life simulator isn’t the same without some furry companions along for the ride. WithThe Sims 5in active development under the “Project Rene” codename, little is known about the project. That hasn’t stopped fans from rampant speculation about the game, with some wantingThe Sims 5to level up how players interact with pets. Players can only wait to see how the next evolution of pets inThe Simsis handled by developer Maxis.
The Sims 4is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
