Fishing for Beginners With Demo Video

Pet Society Living — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 01:39:25 +0000

I’ll never forget the sight of my onion floating away the first time Edmund went fishing in Pet Society. Some of my new friends also had a little trouble understanding the fishing directions, so here is a quick tutorial with video.

1. When the fish bites, don’t get too eager and wait for the splashing to stop before reeling (clicking).

2. When the fish struggles, let go immediately and wait until all the bubbles have gone.

3. Reel when the water is calm

Hint: Don’t click when the line is red.

Promenading in Pet Society: Shaking Trees for Money

Pet Society Living — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 12:24:08 +0000

One of the natural wonders in your Pet Society neighborhood is that money literally grows on trees. When you walk about town, lead your pet to each tree and he or she will give it a good shake. A coin will sometimes fall out of it.

There are 38 trees in town and you may soon develop a regular route for hitting each one. We call this activity “Promenading” and do it regularly between visits, races, fishing and shopping. Activities such as jumping-rope, playing ball or frisbee, spending money and fishing seem to fill the trees with more coins. Promenades tend to average 10 coins, though the best we have had to this date is 19 coins. On the other hand, too many promenades without enough activity will shake the trees bare and you may only get 1 or 2 coins per round.

To save time while promenading, click on the eye at the top of your game to toggle graphic quality to low. This makes your pet go much faster through town (though the picture is not as pretty) and lets you earn money faster. You can switch back to high quality when you enter a house or building to enjoy the beautiful Pet Society graphics.

Finding Coins Under Banana Peels

When I see a banana peel at the stadium, I want to pick it up to see if there is a coin hiding underneath. This is fine when the banana peel is in my pet’s lane during a race, but picking up other pets’ banana peels can mean that Jane doesn’t win the race and we’ve lost 30 coins for the chance of winning 1 coin. Sometimes I pick up another pet’s banana peel only after he or she has jumped over it . . . though my own pet may fall down while I am minding someone else lane.

So we go to the practice races. The great thing about practice races is that there is no money at stake. You can pick up all the banana peels in search of coins. And even if your pet comes in third place, you walk away with 5 paw points. Practice races are also fun because you can take photos of all the antics on the racetrack — jumping, falling, etc.

Earn Coins by Petting, Brushing and Washing Pets

Pet Society Living — Sat, 14 Nov 2009 10:07:25 +0000

When you pet or wash any pet, coins sprout from them. Petting and brushing seems to produce more coins than washing and I have earned as much as 16 coins from petting a very unhappy pet. To get the most coins possible for petting a friend’s pet, click the X instead of doing an activity (hug, kiss, dance, etc.) when you first visit, because these activities increase that pet’s happiness and you may miss out on a few coins. After you have petted the unhappy pet, leave the house and come back in to pay your official visit and collect your visit coins.

If you log into Pet Society again before your friend has washed and brushed his/her pet, that pet will always be dirty and unhappy no matter how many times you wash and brush it. So when you leave and return to Pet Society, be sure to check these pets again and rustle them for coins.

Important note: If you want to make money by washing and petting your own pet, don’t leave your soap and brush on the floor where your pet can pick it up to groom itself. You don’t get paid for this.
