Another newer addition to my sims 4 must have mods list! Once I downloaded this mod, I haven’t been able to get myself to remove it from my game because it’s just SO useful. Now I can’t believe that I ever played without controllable pets! The overview is that with this mod, you’re able to control your pets and make them go pee, eat food, interact with their owners, play with toys, and more. Plus you can check up on their needs so they don’t get neglected accidentally. (It happens! 🤷) I wrote an entire post on this mod and its features, (The Sims 4 Playable Pets Mod: Controllable Pets Mod Download & Review) so be sure to check out that post for ALL the details on how this mod works.
Follow these steps to install Sims 4 Playable Pets Mod on your Sims 4 game:
Download the mod file from the link above. Sims 4 mods typically come as .package or .ts4script files.
Open your Sims 4 Mods folder. The default location is: Documents/Electronic Arts/The Sims 4/Mods
Place the downloaded file directly into the Mods folder. You can organize mods into subfolders up to one level deep.
Launch The Sims 4 and go to Game Options > Other. Make sure "Enable Custom Content and Mods" is checked.
Restart the game if it was already running. The mod should now appear in your game.
Important: Always back up your save files before installing new mods. After Sims 4 updates, mods may need to be re-downloaded or updated by the creator.
Platform
The Sims 4 (PC/Mac)
Pro tip: If a mod stops working after a game update, check the creator's page for an updated version. Broken mods can cause the game to behave unexpectedly.
