Minor Pet Idea I Have No Idea How to Execute - Brainstorming Welcome?
Okay, so first of all, I've essentially never modded before. I've done a little playing around in Zerbu's mod creator for Sims 4 traits and that is the sum total of my experience.
But ... I've been thinking, after I managed to make a kind of aviary for one of my sims 3 houses. Wouldn't it be cool to make room sized enclosures for a sims's minor pets?
A little turtle pond in the garden with your turtles actually in there?
I think it must be possible, maybe. Because the pets have a 'sit on ground' state, right? Before you catch them. So, and this is where it all breaks down, would it be possible to replace the 'be in terrarium' state with a 'be on ground state' in some fashion? You could replace the clean cage animation with the generic mop floor one, I'm not sure what you'd do about feeding ... maybe modify and replace with the feed regular pet animation?
Trouble is, I have zero idea how you'd even do this.
But I'm not trying to add anything really, just swap some stuff around, so it can't be that bad, right? I could maybe manage it?
I mean, if someone else came along and said a) this already exists, here's a link or b) gosh how neat let me do it all for you I wouldn't complain.
But does anyone have any thoughts on if this is even possible? Let alone achievable for someone with no idea what they're doing? What kind of stuff would I need to figure out?
