so stupid me i started a sim as Aurora with this line up
Stalker
Aurora
Hambone
Nakomis
Belle
Aries
I successfully mated with Hambone (btw it's 9 months automatic mate in timber. I've mated/had pups in the other environments easily but for some reason timber takes FOREVER.) Now I'm at 9 months, there's no food except for bunnies like 19 away and I'm constantly challenged by the remaining femmes in the pack.
I starved both Aries and Stalker by killing big prey on bodies of water (which is odd because it's harder to kill wolves of the opposite sex/you can't challenge them away hahaha) but now I'm left with Nakomis and Belle and no matter what methods I try I just can't kill them! Anyone who's familiar with the wolf strength ranking knows Belle and Nakomis are really strong. I can't even autoplay without them pulling me out of Alpha rank, which is awful because I think once you have pups and your rank is down you can't get it back until their 12 months.
Any suggestions? Pwease?
