Selectable Pets
Not sure why EA made cats and dogs unplayable characters. This mod will make them selectable/playable. They have their own needs and behaviors to choose from. The choices are a bit sparse at the moment, but hopefully, more interactions can be modded in for them.
The issue where shift-clicking to CAS caused pets to become unselectable without reloading the lot is now fixed. Please redownload if you downloaded within the first several hours of the mod being posted. Thank you to Kiara and Therezsc for posting about this bug.
If you tried to download unsuccessfully, please try again. The traffic killed the previous upload site and we've moved it to another location.
NOTE: This mod simply unlocks the ability to control pets. It does not add, change, or fix any pet interactions that are already in the game. Since these were not meant to be used by players, there may be bugs with some of them. You may get lastException errors, and your sims or pets may reset when using some of them. If this bothers you, do not download.
