I had to go test this in my game to see if it was for real, and I haven't laughed this much at sims stuff in ages.
Extremely amusing, and marvellously unique.
I love it. Great work!

O_o what the hell?!?! dogs and cats are danceing?

Clever. Thanks for putting your time into this. :D

Wow. lol Awesome. (: Thanks for this! They look cute.

this looks hilarious, i'll try it ingame when i have time and see what happens. thanks so much

wow... this very cool
thanks xD

I'm hugely impressed! Pet animations are very hard to get working (I quit out of frustration last time I tried!)

I wonder if you'd be willing to post your fixed skeleton/ms3d file as a template for other users to make pet animations? It'd go very nicely along with Dr Pixel's sim animation templates.

Much delectation indeed. Thank you.

OMG!!! What an awesome job!!!!Great!!! Fabulous!!!!Do you think of working on custom pets animations (as for example, for Hexameter and Dragon Slave horses vehicles or ridable animals)?
This will be a mark on TS2 history!!!
Thanks for sharing your fabulous hard job with us!!!

Thanks can't wait to try it out.

You rule

This is so wicked and funny.
It had me laughing like crazy.
Super job!

This is impressive, indeed. I wish I could reinstall my Pets to try this, but I lost my darn activation code!

Not sure how I'll use this, but looks very interesting *downloads* I'll be sure to test this out when I get some pets (right now I'm having a tough time creating sims I actually want to keep lol).

Fantastic! I support folks who research how package files work and figure out new things for modders to do. I won't be using this in my game, but I'm so glad you made it.

Oh.. My ... GAWD! LOL This is crazy, I love it! Excellent work on this, very creative.

Oh my GOD. :DD This is...amazing. Completely and utterly amazing.

nice a new item for pets does it works with all the entire game?

Lmao I love it! Pets needs more stuff, this is awesome

Impressive, I loved it.
I am able to see more of your creations :lovestruc

Absolutely amazing! Must have taken you quite some time!

GOSH, you guys are great! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
Thanks to Lethe_s, seven_nation_army, Soccersusan24, macm09, BDBULL, centerman, toriamos, GreenDaySim74, Cinamun, twisted FATE, joltzi, Vral and everyone I quoted below for your replies and also to those who said thanks!


True indeed! You can say that, again!


It's usually the other way round. Me being impressed by you. I'm curious to know what method did you attempt that got you frustrated the last time. Do you mind sharing?

I would love to, Echo, but currently I'm still working on improving it. This is just an early preview. Further more, I've not even tried the other pet meshes, only large adult dogs.


Thanks for your exaggerated reply! That'll be interesting to work with indeed, not to mention an honour! I'll try my best if I have the time.


You're the best! Thanks!


Oh my! Isn't it at the back of your instruction booklet? Hope you do find it. Maybe you can explain your situation to EA and see what they can do.


*cocks head* It's for your pets to do some moves. It not too hard to create Sims, take your time.


New things? I love new things! Aww... Maybe I should have made something for cats?


Thanks and yes! This works should work for the entire game inclusive of all expansion packs, minimum installation being the Base Game with the Pets Expansion Pack.


Wow, this came as a shock. I immediately tested it and twice the "Creating Pets" screen loaded smoothly. No crashes at all. After all, this package is only an add on and does not overide or conflict with any of those in the game.

Perhaps it might be a conflict with other custom packages, but that's rarely the case as I have registered for a unique GUID and it's unlikely for someone else to have an animation with the name "d-selfdefence" and sound "specialsound1". Did you remove any other downloaded packages along with mine while testing?

What windows are you using and what expansion packs do you have installed? Maybe someone else can help confirm this?


Well, it sure did... but your words are rewarding enough.

Wow that was pretty ambitious, I'm so glad you figured it out!

Wow, you did a lot of work to accomplish this..a lot!. You've added a custom sound, that in and of itself is something to be very proud of, as that's really hard to get to work properly.

I lost interest in doing animations, after the negative comments and the demand for perfection. So I really want to wish you lots of luck. Try not to pay attention to people that don't know how hard these things are to create.

I see you also included many of the EA animations as options. Good job! Keep up the great work.
