Let younger wolves develop relationships and socialize please!

Let younger wolves develop relationships and socialize please!

It kind of bothers me that wolves' puppies don't show up in their relationships, littermates and siblings don't show up as relationships to each other until you socialize them, puppies don't have relationships with their pupsitters who are really the ones who do a lot of the raising etc. The only exception to this is the lead wolf, who gets random relationship boosts when you visit the pups' pages.
I don't know, it just really breaks my roleplay emersion that siblings, parents and children, etc barely know each other when the relationship should be way less distant than that considering that they're family. It's not like parents and children first meet each other when they become adults. It's not game breaking to not have this, but I'd really like more opportunity relationship wise when it comes to the younger members of my pack.

Huge agree! I think nursing pups should get relationship with mom each rollover and pupsat pups should get free relationship with their sitter as well. Perhaps mentors as well? And adols and their teachers?

i agree with this! i wanna see the socialization function get bigger in general tbh. i almost wonder if a wolf that gives birth could start out the relationship with their pups at a decently high amount, and then after weaning, having it be a slightly harder thing to keep up with. i'd like to see pups build relationships with mentors that teach them, or apprentices build relationships with the wolves they're training under. i think socialization is a really neat mechanism that i wanna see more of :D

Support.
Maybe ados could socialize with adults in the same group
while when socializing pups you would only "see" other pups, their parents, their pupsitter and the lead (ie the members of the pack they have more interaction with).

I agree!! Puppy's should at least have a relationship with their mom, pupsitter and siblings and adolescent should be able to socialize with anyone. Even if the puppy's could only socialize within their family I wouldn't mind but it makes it really hard to encourage a mate bond when no one has a strong enough relationship.Β  Adolescents are capable of socializing with anyone so I think it'd be great if they could be added to socialization!

I was JUST thinking about this yesterday! What if maybe there was like another tab inside Socializing that's called like, "The Pup-Pen" where it's like a playpen for your puppies and you can put however many in at once and they'll randomly socialize and maybe even get like a tiny 1-3% boost to survival for playing together.

I've been thinking abt this constantly because it makes it so hard for any of the wolves to form bonds or relationships among the pack. I hope they expand on it. Also, phiz i think that would be such a cool addition. Especially since then they'd be able to form their own connections.
