30 mins & Box Unpacking

[Jaide Logan]

I was wondering why it needs to take 30 mins to unpack a box? I mean, waiting a week is long enough for a box. 1 - 5 mins of unpacking is plenty in my opinion. But maybe I am missing the reason for the 30 minute wait? Perhaps this can be looked into if there is no real point for 30 mins? For me personally, I don't like waiting 30 minutes especially if there is time constraits and I need to get the kitty some place at the last minute. What does everyone else thing?

I don't mind so much for the 30 minutes if only the default setting of the new born was not to walk and run so when we are away they are at a predictable place and we can name them and give them a home location.

I don't mind the 30 min wait either. Granted, I get super antsy when I *really* want to see that new baby pop out, but its not life or death. LOL However, I would agree that it'd be great if they would just stay put for a bit, because I sometimes need to leave the sim to take care of other things and come back to find my new baby has gone off to play before I have even said Hello. Its not that big of a deal for me since I have the HUD and can easily retrieve said kitten, but I do understand the frustration.

I think the 30 min wait is a small price to pay for so many of the other features we have. I believe there are other breedables with a similar wait time as well. It just means we need to plan ahead a bit and schedule knowing its going to take a full 30 mins for that baby to birth.

the 30 minute wait was decided because we were all too impatient to wait an hour

when we made that choice, all other breedables were a one hour wait (to my knowledge).

it's sort of fun to have that bit of "anticipation" and time waiting...

but i wanted to chime in so you would know the thought behind it, jaide

thanks everyone for your input

KittyCat Princess, the other breedables I breed are between five minutes and an hour with a variable timer so its never the same range twice, if that information is helpful. I don't mind the half an hour wait time myself. I like the anticipation, and I often will use it as a timer on my cuddling the other cats. I pile them on, set off a kitten box and often have a new one drop.
