This is an addon topic to my other thread http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1327690-idea-child-adoption-and-family-enhancement/ please read it first

After more playing, I think I have some more suggestions for family, and home enhancement aside from the children. When you own a dog, you can bring it into your house but eventually it disapears. I have gone through 2 dogs; meeko, and the one you buy from the horse salesman dude. Also, im sure every1 is aware of how chests lose items and items you place around the house get mispositioned 100% of the time. I think if these things were improved, that would enhance the whole idea I have going on. I think that your wife should also actually go to a store to sell stuff and get out of the house sometimes so she has a social life and you feel more integrated into society of the towns you live in.

Please read the other thread while your at it, these two threads kind of run alongside a similar aim.
