Personally, I agree on not being able to control pets directly or see their needs because this adds a bit of challenge and challenging gameplay is almost non-existent in Sims 4 imo. But I'll probably still use this mod to get to know basic stuff you should've known about your pets such as their age or their family tree. I'm also still using this mod to easily record some footage on making a video. But I know some of you like to control the pets directly on a normal gameplay so that's why I made this video. So yeah, you're free to either use this mod or not depending on which gameplay you favour the most.
You can call your pet whenever you want to eat/sleep/to your sim and ask them what's wrong and a thought bubble will pop up telling you about their needs. How is not controlling your pets directly a challenge in this case? Babies are more challenging, because there's no way to see what they need (except they need their diaper changed).
+Jell-o Monster but babies are only there for a while, probably around 2-3 days, and their needs are pretty simple: hunger, attention, and hygiene. Until then they will grow up into a more independent and controllable toddler, while you basically take care of pets their whole life. Well, yes, the "what's wrong" interaction is a bit too informational, but I mean, pets behaviour are so unpredictable and you can't really track their needs all the time, same with how you take care of babies. One day you might be home from work with low needs and all of the sudden your pet needs some of their needs fulfilled.
Maria José Arteaga - It still looks pretty bad on them when a modder creates the feature, and so soon after release too. Unless their reason is about time or financial constraints, it's rather embarrassing a modder did this instead of them.
+Maria José Arteaga They (pets) always have freedom, it's called autonomy -- both Sims and Pets have them. Giving the player control doesn't mean they'll stop acting naturally, it's just that we can override them. From what I can suspect from this is that they're reallocated the resources to other features like CASt, etc.
chill out. Dont call a company lazy dude. Video games dont come out of people's butts you know. It takes hard work and dedication and most of all patients to make games for peoples. Do you not see how many hate comments EA got for missing ONE feature in a game? They make games and wait to see what people want then make it. Remember when people wanted toddlers? You have them now. More realistic features? My sims can get a glass of water from the sink. Pets? Hello, right in your face. You probably wont agree with what im saying anyway but thats how i feel and i appreciate EA because i know i cant make a game like sims myself so the fact that they take the time to make a game thats suitable for my laptop as well as add many things you can do in game. If o were EA i would have stopped making games for you ungrateful people. Its one thing to share a nice opinion but now all i see is complaining.
Ender Well you're clearly trying to fight againts me or something? I'm not in a mood for a fight i've been having a lot things on my mind, so i don't want to start a fucking fight
+Ender talent isn't something you're "born with" that's instincts you're thinking of, things which are hardwired in your genetic coding, like the instinct to suckle milk. talent is something developed over time, whether purposely or not, talent and skill are the same thing. so maybe shut your ugly little ape mouth before going off about things you obviously have no knowledge of.
fUCK ME DADDY honestly, the non open world still annoys me- i cant even visit my neighbors without going into travel mode. I think they could've had an option for that in the menu, so if your pc can handle it, you can just check/uncheck it and then you have a free world. Ofc you'd have to restart the game for the changes to work but thats basically it.
fUCK ME DADDY Right it's annoying when I'm at the library and I can run around the fitness center building but I have to sit through a loading screen to go there?
fUCK ME DADDY Yeah, I'd be satisfied with having to enter travel mode to go to a different neighborhood, but not to different houses. But whatever happened to cars? Or laptops? And the burglars?
I knew there was going to be a Playable Pets mod but I thought it would of took longer than 5 days. I guess as soon as they made them selectable all the interactions were already there.
This is a message from all the early subscribers we are very Happy to say that You Became a BIG CHANNEL having to support or enjoy your content was not difficult,some of use even make sacrifices for you man. ONCE I had some exams and I studied super hard for it but then I realized you made a new video so I had to sneak out of my room and get my phone(in the end I got kaned:( but It was worth it!!!)P.S WE ALL LOVE YOU
They always have freedom, it's called autonomy -- both Sims and Pets have them. Giving the player control doesn't mean they'll stop acting naturally, it's just that we can override them.
AldeyWP I mean like I'm glad that the mod doesn't cancel out the pets autonomy to be able to control them ( Also I don't know how coding works I'm just glad we can control them in some ways)
Slightly Insane exactly. the sims 4 came out in 2014, and the most requested expansion pack was released in 2017. With - not surprisingly - a shell of the previous pets expansion packs. The sims 2 and 3 had tons more features than the sims 4.
Slightly Insane i think that EA has already made pets playable but changed their mind at the end. And since everything (most of things) is automatic,I think they only copy "sims" control and make it for pets. Sorry,Im not too good at explaining this,sine I made few mods for sims 3 myself,but I don't think it was that hard to make them playable with all tje the animations already in the game.
Huge props to the mod creators for one, getting this done so quickly, and two doing something The Sims team should have done from the start, though that seems to be what mod creators are best at, well that and making funny af mods to screw around with.
This is amazing!!! I just don't understand why EA didn't make pets playable?! I love telling them what to do. I made myself as a cat in sims 3 and made the story revolve around me. In sims 4 you can't do that.... UNTIL NOW!!!
HELL YEAH! So getting this mod when I get the EP. I tried playing non-controllable pets in The Sims 2 but I just kept forgetting they were even there since I couldn't really do anything with them.
Icy0range - I always worried they'd die of hunger. I like pets in 2, but they wait until they are starving to eat. Even if they're complaining of hunger, they won't eat until they're starving.
i downloaded it, however i think it needs improvements so i took it off my game and wait if they do update on it. but for a mod out just a few days after the release of CAD that's a pretty darn good mood.
I’m very impressed this came out a few days after the packs release but I’d rather not use it pets are a mystery they do their own thing and the game made it very realistic and accurate making them uncontrollable
I tested it out for myself, its pretty good, but I kinda like the fact that the pets look after themselves by just fulfilling a need and you make sure they have everything they need, especially when you have a sim family of 5 (twins happened)...like i do...otherwise I'd use this mod
I love control of the pets and giving them jobs to do and such it was so much fun on sims pets 3! How do so activate it? I have PlayStation4 I do have the expansion and would love to have control of my pets again. Because when both of my sims are at work it gets kinda boring lol.
I’m glad pets aren’t playable because for me controlling them would be stressful. I just wish the game had more pet clothes and details of the pets age and relationships
Hey! I recently downloaded this mod but i have problems. I have it in the mods folder, not a sub folder, I have both custom and script mods enabled, I have both repaired and updated my game, and I have a legal digital copy of the game and all my expansions (including Cats & Dogs) are legal as well. The mod does pop up in my CC in the start up menu for the game - so it says it's there, it's simply not working when I go into play. Any ideas how to fix?
Mas abi saya ingin tanya, bagaimana caranya kamu bisa mengatur pet mu. Karna the sims 4 saya hanya bisa menyuruh mereka tpi ta bisa mengatur mereka :((

onlyabidoang make more where you make them say something
UI extension cheat also works on cats and dogs needs.
This mod is a must have, especially for those who make videos/movies using Sims 4.
Nem is tudtam hogy Sims-ezel :D!
Meglepetés! :D
I KNEW THIS WOULD HAPPEN! THANK YOU MODDERS!!!!!
I don't see why EA couldn't let this be an optional feature.
+Ender
If only everything were so simple. They already mentioned the reason for their choice in a blog post, maybe you ought to check that out.
Maria José Arteaga - It still looks pretty bad on them when a modder creates the feature, and so soon after release too. Unless their reason is about time or financial constraints, it's rather embarrassing a modder did this instead of them.
Bull$h1t. They can just gave us a cheat, and by the looks of it they are basically just lazy.

Dude EA said that NO mod will be able to do this im impressed,but the thing is I have Sims 3..
I never did say these features werent made by EA? I was just impressed how much talent mods have
Ender Well you're clearly trying to fight againts me or something? I'm not in a mood for a fight i've been having a lot things on my mind, so i don't want to start a fucking fight
same lol, i only have the sims 3.
Well...That escalated quickly... 😱

I CALLED IT
I KNEW IT'D ONLY TAKE LIKE 5 DAYS
AHAHA
I really have zero opinions on this. I just wanted to control my pets to see their needs.

fUCK ME DADDY honestly, the non open world still annoys me- i cant even visit my neighbors without going into travel mode.

and make my pets pooping
EA: *Dammit, now we need to put a update so the mod cant handle it.*
Although this is a joke it’s probably sadly true
It is, wouldn't doubt it though.
I know they are tying to get a more realistic approach but make it an option, we got sims so we can mess around with no limitations.
I'm so annoyed with these mods because I can't find out how to get them.
And then we make the same thing but it cost money!
Ea:there's no cheat to make pets playable
Onlyabidiang:*uplouds this*
lol
The Community Is What Makes This Game Worth.....
worth? worth what?
Worth Playing
I knew there was going to be a Playable Pets mod but I thought it would of took longer than 5 days. I guess as soon as they made them selectable all the interactions were already there.
i believe EA wanted to make them playable at first but changed their minds so there was half the work done
EA honestly has no excuse anymore they could have easlily put this in. It only took a modder 4-5 days to do this. EA needs to pick up their game.
yessss i wanted to see their needs so baddddd!
Must have, I can't stand asking "WUT WRONG PET BECAUSE I UNDERSTOND U"
Now that this huge problem is solved, now to port over the color wheel
WEW HOW COULD THEY NOT ADD IT SO FREAKIN OBVIOUS
Sims 1 music in the background😳☺
Random User
So?
10,000 Subscribers & No Vids be nice pink potato
10,000 Subscribers & No Vids They put happy emojis, so they probably enjoyed the nostalgia. That’s what.
Oh man welcome wagon? No I dont need that, I just want PLAYABLE CATS GODAMMIT
there´s actually a mod that disables welcome wagon.
Too much welcome wagon in my sim life lol

+MajesticMayor thanks so much for the support!! 😁
Wait, so in the sims 4, you can't play as the pets in the base game? That's weird! EA did that for the sims 3, why not the sims 4?
Coyote Wolf117 cuz its more realistic
You could control pets in TS2 using a cheat code
It's
boolprop controlpets on
^^^^
@Mary_At_The_Disco 2022
Paws Lover realistic means you can control your pets by their mind lol, I glad modder they fixed that
Sims 4: "We want it to be more realistic."
Also Sims 4:
"LOOK U CAN HAVE A PATCHWORK CAT AND PAINT IT PINK!"
I like that the pets still have autonomy even with the mod so they'll still be a little stubborn which will be fun
They always have freedom, it's called autonomy -- both Sims and Pets have them. Giving the player control doesn't mean they'll stop acting naturally, it's just that we can override them.
AldeyWP I mean like I'm glad that the mod doesn't cancel out the pets autonomy to be able to control them ( Also I don't know how coding works I'm just glad we can control them in some ways)
I’m so happy! The runaway pet challenge (or something like that, I don’t remember the exact name) will now be possible in the sims 4!
I love the thumbnail 😂😂 love your videos KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!! 😂💓
even tho, it's more realistic to not play with pets, but its actually really nice to do something while you sims are at work/school.
Only 5 days? Man EA is lazy AF.
Bobby Albert wait...how are they lazy? lol
Paws Lover I think they mean that it took modders few days to this while EA would take forever

Paws Lover it’s similar to babies and toddlers from older sims games where you can’t control their actions until they are children.
Ha , take that ea NOW we can see our pets needs / basic info.
I love your videos and I truly want to be your gamer friend
Well that was fast.
Huge props to the mod creators for one, getting this done so quickly, and two doing something The Sims team should have done from the start, though that seems to be what mod creators are best at, well that and making funny af mods to screw around with.
It's sad when modders are better then the actual company 😂
This is amazing!!! I just don't understand why EA didn't make pets playable?! I love telling them what to do. I made myself as a cat in sims 3 and made the story revolve around me. In sims 4 you can't do that.... UNTIL NOW!!!
Downloaded it today, the best thing ever!
awwwww they are so cute and so easy when u can control them!! :0 i luv ur vids!!! :) :D
Good job! Continue making so creative videos!
This is useful for people who make sims 4 stories and need the pets to go in certain areas
0:19 XD That Cat just ran into the bush
HELL YEAH! So getting this mod when I get the EP. I tried playing non-controllable pets in The Sims 2 but I just kept forgetting they were even there since I couldn't really do anything with them.
Icy0range - I always worried they'd die of hunger. I like pets in 2, but they wait until they are starving to eat. Even if they're complaining of hunger, they won't eat until they're starving.
Ikr?
I'm more shocked that this wasn't a base feature in the game already.
“I just want playable cats, goddamn it!” I laughed so hard it was practically a scream
i saw you in tabbes video
This is awesome! Though I actually prefer it as it is, the only thing I really want is to see their needs and family tree :)
i downloaded it, however i think it needs improvements so i took it off my game and wait if they do update on it. but for a mod out just a few days after the release of CAD that's a pretty darn good mood.
Does their emotion thingy changes as well?
my dog had a flirty emotion, and I was confused af
Mine, too and all I did was have them nuzzle.
+Cegorach hmm??? why would that confuse you... humans aren't the only animals which have mating instincts...
:3 nuzzle( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡° )
When the cat covered its head after the fight my heart fell into the void ;-;
I need "Dammit Emily" montage if U dont want it its ok
I can finally buy this game now. Thank's for nothing EA.
i've waiting for too long for this kind of mob to be available
This mod does remind me of the sims 3 pets for Xbox 360, because you could control the animals
I'm downloading this. Moment I get the expansion, this is going to be in my game.
I’m very impressed this came out a few days after the packs release but I’d rather not use it pets are a mystery they do their own thing and the game made it very realistic and accurate making them uncontrollable
once I get this expansion pack I'm INSTANTLY getting this mod cause I like to mess around as pets like in the sims 3 :3
Why the sims 4 did not make this mods in the expansion pack?! it's must on the expansion pack, it make more fun with this mod
Algi Kun because EA went with the majority and majority didnt want to control pets.
I’ll probably just use this mod to find out their traits and family tree which I feel should’ve been in the game in the first place.
Already? Dang, that was quick. Now time to wait until I get CAD to see if it works on my computer :/
Sydthekid CAD?
really late reply whoops. But Cats and Dogs
I tested it out for myself, its pretty good, but I kinda like the fact that the pets look after themselves by just fulfilling a need and you make sure they have everything they need, especially when you have a sim family of 5 (twins happened)...like i do...otherwise I'd use this mod
This only took like 5 days to make... GG ts4 modding community!
Do u watch Tabbs? I saw a question from you on a q and a video
Do you think EA will get rid of the mod considering they didn’t like the “playable” pet thing
Janz Selan they can’t get rid of an mod really
punya saya kok gak ada opsi text chat ya untuk kucing?
7:19 since when are there such things?
3:51-3:58 LOL! That's what you get for clicking the "Go potty" option! LOL!
I wonder if you’ll be able to make ur animals have kittens or puppies
I love being able to see their needs but probably won't play as them.
Hello, what progam you record with?
I love control of the pets and giving them jobs to do and such it was so much fun on sims pets 3! How do so activate it? I have PlayStation4 I do have the expansion and would love to have control of my pets again. Because when both of my sims are at work it gets kinda boring lol.
I am making The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Movie full length 1 hour at March!
That's a beautiful house... Did you build it yourself?
I’m glad pets aren’t playable because for me controlling them would be stressful. I just wish the game had more pet clothes and details of the pets age and relationships
3:40 - Extreme Violence for Dogs?! XD
doggie murder XD
How do you actually find mods for the sims games (also can you do a mod review of vampires)
Is this still work?
It made my dog always have an uncomfortable status,any reason why?
so this was 3 years ago I dont know if this mod is outdated or not. but ima try but from comments it seems legit..
most mods are legit
Man its back to Sims 3 again
This is a great idea!
That house is nice! Can you tell me where to get it?
I want to do it im playing on PS4 So id y'all know how on PS4 tell meh
Hey! I recently downloaded this mod but i have problems. I have it in the mods folder, not a sub folder, I have both custom and script mods enabled, I have both repaired and updated my game, and I have a legal digital copy of the game and all my expansions (including Cats & Dogs) are legal as well. The mod does pop up in my CC in the start up menu for the game - so it says it's there, it's simply not working when I go into play. Any ideas how to fix?
Hmm perhaps it conflicts with one of your other mods? Try playing it without using any other mods but this one
Umm... i really wanna know where do you got the sims 4 city and pets...? Plssss tell me
I cant see all options on this mod :(
I am so happy!
i want it, but my internet wont allow me to because i cant open up google drive links
*"oh, you're in big trouble big boy"* haha
You said it right... Bowel... you can have Bowel problems
Do i need to get the get famous pack too?

The game JUST came out
U mean dlc.

OK cool , but I don't have a PC so I can't have da sims 4 or any expansion packs , I have the sims 3 & sims 3 pets for da ps3 cuz I have a ps3
as much as a like not controlling pets more i would love it if it was like sims 2 and you could see when they DIE.
Wait, cats and dogs is NINE MONTHS OLD???? Whaaaaat???
It doesn't work for me, please help 😓
can pets have jobs now?
Can we install it? 🤔
I Honestly like sims 3 pets more idk why
Modder have to make mods just to play with pets which should have been in game from startwith
Mas abi saya ingin tanya, bagaimana caranya kamu bisa mengatur pet mu. Karna the sims 4 saya hanya bisa menyuruh mereka tpi ta bisa mengatur mereka :((
So cool, why did EA don't give us this option.
*_Can I ask can you make different types of cats and dogs like style and fur color_*
make a rainbow d0gg0
Aww, it´s so c00t ;3.
this mod reopended my wanting of the exspansion
is it buggy ??
Does anybody know if it works with the new patch?
