FAQ entry on "Meeroos will thrive in any setting" inaccurate.

Ash Weststar's picture

Before purchasing a Meeroo, I had thoroughly gone through the website reading the FAQ. One thing I had noted was the entry FAQ response, "As long as they are loved, Meeroos will thrive in any setting.". Thinking I would have no problems with my Meeroo then, since the new home for the Meeroos I acquire would be in a space station (sim: Deshima) near 3000m up.

After roughly a day of having a Meeroo, I was puzzled by the fact it only ever got up to eat food, despite having the "Meeroo Home" set on insane, while my friends who had their own Meeroos had them essentially going all over the place with the "chilled" setting.

Turns out due to the fact the sim is set to night eternally (due to being a space station sim), Meeroos will always sleep on the sim... Not really what I call thriving. If I had known this before hand, I wouldn't have spent the money so soon on a Meeroo if I couldn't really interact or see it do it's random things knowing that.

I do feel a bit cheated out of my money (since I don't have anywhere else for Meeroos), but at the same time, I can understand that the creators may have not considered the reliance upon sim position to cause issues like this, so I hold no malice against them. I hope that at some point in the future there would be some kind of fix or nocturnal Meeroo I could exchange for.

I would ask though that there be a correction or addition to the FAQ, clarifying that fixed sun sims, particularly those that force the region to stay night time will result in the Meeroo sleeping all the time, from personal experience, it can be upsetting to figure this out on your own despite having done prior research.
