This mod is a lifesaver and proves that there is still some optionality with this pack – even though it’s “behind-the-scenes” and unfinished (for example when selecting Cats / Dogs they will have certain buffs but most of them don’t have any details or descriptions). Well, it wasn’t until awesome folks from Sims 4 Studio created a mod which enables full pet control. After I got my hands on the game I understood what they meant with this decision but once it was my turn to write various articles about Cats & Dogs I just couldn’t because forcing your Cats and Dogs to do certain interaction just isn’t possible. It’s obvious why The Sims Team made the decision to remove control over Pets and that is to make it a lot more entertaining. However, it’s also a curse because sometimes you just need to take control over your Pets and direct them to do some things while your Sims are occupied and unable to command your Pets. Blessing because it gives you a lot more challenge in the game and forces you to observe your Pet and find out what their needs are which is often interesting. The idea of uncontrollable Pets is both a blessing and a curse.
You can also use the “Call Over” option on the user interface which is of course a lot easier and now I have no idea why I wrote all this but ok. You either have to pick that Pet up using your Sim and place him where you want or leash that Pet (if it’s a large dog) and stop at the point where you want to take your Pet.
What’s different (or not different, depending on if you’ve played previous Pets packs and which ones) is that Pets are uncontrollable – meaning that you cannot click on your Pet and tell him to “Go Here”. Animations are always so different and unique and you’ll find yourself pausing the game every now and then to admire the cute little sleeping poses that your Pets have. I cannot express how entertaining it is to observe your Cats & Dogs just being the intelligent creatures that they are in this pack.
