Why Do Players Create Rules for Their Pets?

[Milla]

Some players set personal rules like feeding schedules or roleplaying routines. This adds structure beyond the game’s design. Does creating your own system make the experience more meaningful? What personal habits or rules do you follow with your virtual pets?

I like to think it adds to the gameplay, makes it so it doesn't get so chaotic.

I think players create rules to add structure and meaning. It makes the experience feel more real and personal. Rules also create small goals and challenges, turning simple care into something more engaging and intentional.
