Besides that I let them do their own random thing as always, and I haven't seen a different in there AI since installing it, so yeah lol. It awesome
Yah,I use it just to fill there needs or I want a pet to be more sociable.
Your pets ai stay the same. They don't have to be controlled.You only control them if you want too. They don't stop being a pet if you control them
You can download it here. Hope that helps
my dogs still trash the place, get scared like crazy, vomit every now and then, and mate with other random pets. Didn't tell them too, they just still do it. But I respect your choice either way though
Sadly there's still some moments way before this mod where the dog would refuse to go to the bathroom...I can't speak for everyone's actual dog, but there's no way my rl dogs would have waited so long to go potty when there's a doggy door leading to the giant backyard
Now controlling butlers, maids, and gardeners - if they had a mod like that - then most definitely I would add that kind of mod to the Sims 4 once it is done being developed. The ingame control for butlers in particular is not quite up to par for changing my butlers "jobs". They always seem to go back to doing just things they like to do - instead of what I want them to do - that particular day. Maybe that modder needs to make a "Control Butler" mod. LOL.

But this is a useful mod for those that like to control their pets much like their sims.
Thus proving the devs completely wrong when they argued that giving us control would take away from the overall experience
Whatever spontaneity pets lacked in previous games wasn't due to player control, but because of the way their AI was set up.
But guiding everything else in your game like a god is just fine.
Thank you
Yep, if anything this mod shows not only having playable , and spontanus petsis posible.
Same
yes! i don't understand the to-do from people saying they don't want to micromanage. It doesn't make your pets no longer autonomous or force you to control them. But it does prevent their getting taken away due to their odd refusal to eat or go potty sometimes
Okay,I don't understand how is controlling your pets make them less pets ?
People often say that the mods fix what the devs messed up. It can be said in that case too, in a way, however, it also shows that they in fact DID A GOOD JOB with pets' AI
I disagree. Controlling humanoids to be humanoids makes sense because we are humanoids and rules of society means we have to learn right and wrong. Parents teach children the rules of society and what is acceptable human behaviors. We teach them necessary skills to become an acceptable human being in the future.
But controlling animals in the same logical sense as if they were humanoids and had the same thoughts, behaviors, etc as humans - makes them have un - pet like behavior. You can train your pet to do proper pet behaviors - but truthfully I think people like controlling the pets because they simply do not want to be bothered with the training to be honest.
To make it feel like a real pet in the game - well you really need to teach it just like you teach real pets and not use a controller to force it to do things it is not trained to do. To some of us that is making the pet - in the game very un-pet like - and not the way real pets are.
As far as controlling Sims - well that is the way the game was designed by Will Wright - he told us when we were testing the Sims - that we were the God of the Sims - we created them and we over saw everything they did - and then we guided them through life. So yes we were meant to control the humanoids - but the pets we had to make our sims train them. Will Wright did not put in a control for the pets in Unleashed - he did make them fully trainable though - which took lots of time and patience - but eventually they learned - as it should be.
