Best Sims 4 Pet Mods & CC: Top Picks for Cats, Dogs, Horses, and More
Pets in The Sims 4 have long become much more than just an add-on to the family: they bring coziness and a special atmosphere to the game. With the help of mods and custom content, you can give your animals their own style, whether it’s an original pet bed, a dog house, or an unusual outfit. The game can be diversified not only with decorative items, but also with new functions related to pet care, behavior, or even animal careers. In this selection, we’re sharing interesting mods for those who want to make life for their furry companions even richer and more varied.
Mods
Cat And Dog Custom Traits Pack by Vicky Sims (chingyu1023)
Cat And Dog Custom Traits Pack is a set of 9 new personality traits for your pets, which you can choose when creating a character and that influence gameplay. The available traits include alertness, cuteness, clinginess, fearlessness, high maintenance, low maintenance, obedience, quiet nature, and steadiness.
Better Motive Moodlets for Cats and Dogs by TheSkeletonCat
This mod fixes the display of motive moodlets for pets by replacing blank icons with informative ones that have clear descriptions and names, just like regular Sims. Now it’s easy to tell how your pet is doing according to six basic motives: bowel, bladder, energy, play, hunger, and affection (the last one for dogs only).

Better Emotions for Cats and Dogs by TheSkeletonCat
This mod improves the way pet emotions are displayed, giving them real names, color coding, and proper descriptions instead of debug text and confusing “Fine” labels. Now you can clearly see all 9 emotions your pets experience: excitement, drowsiness, anxiety, anger, flirtiness, fear, shame, sadness, and happiness – along with sound notifications when their mood changes.
Better Bird Feeder by BosseladyTV
Enhances interaction with the bird feeder – now birds leave feathers nearby for your collection, and the feeder refills automatically. This add-on pairs well with the Ornithologist Aspiration & Trait mod from the same creator.
Pets to Sims, Sims to Pets Sentiments by Zero
This add-on brings pets into the sentiments and relationships system, letting them form emotional bonds with Sims and vice versa. Cats are more likely to hold grudges, dogs are more likely to adore their owners, and pet traits influence how likely they are to get attached – aggressive and independent pets bond less, while friendly pets get attached more easily.
Animals Just For Fun by Waffle's Mix-Ins
Makes caring for all animals in the game easier by removing food, hygiene, and bladder needs for cats, dogs, horses, and livestock. Now pets only need energy, attention, and activity, with the attention need drastically reduced – animals will stop constantly demanding care, but you can still interact with them whenever you want.
Playable Pets by andrew
Makes cats and dogs playable characters with their own needs and available interactions.
Doggie Loves U by FrequentlyBasic
Dogs with the Loyal trait will protect their owners by barking at Sims who treat them badly. To activate this protective behavior, the pet must be an adult, have at least 50 friendship points with their owner, and be their official pet.
Chase Tail and Frolic for Max Fun by Amethyst-Lilac / coolspear
Adds autonomous fun activities for pets to boost their mood when their Fun level drops to -50 or below. Cats and dogs will be able to chase their tails on their own, while horses can frolic without having to use toys that break easily.
Faster Milking & Shearing by BosseladyTV
Speeds up the process of milking cows and goats, as well as shearing sheep and llamas, helping Sims get through farm chores faster. Also lets children milk goats and allows you to set up autonomous actions for livestock care.
My Pets by LittleMsSam
Allows you to have pets without adding them to your household, letting you keep animals without taking up household slots. This is perfect if you want pets but don’t want to overcrowd the household management panel.
Name Pet Bowls by Cherisi
Lets you personalize pet bowls by adding names for easy identification. These changes are purely visual – pets can still drink from any bowl regardless of what name is on it.
Selectable Pets Always by charitycodes
Enables permanent control over household pets (cats, dogs, horses) by automatically activating the built-in cheat code so you don’t have to enter it every time you load the game. Allows you to see pet needs, directly control their actions, and fix issues with pets getting stuck in locked areas.
Go for a walk with more Pets by LittleMsSam
Solves the hassle of long walks with multiple dogs by letting you take them all out at once through a rabbit hole system. This saves time by eliminating the need to walk each pet separately.
Children Can Walk With Dogs by MSQ SIMS
Allows children to take dogs for a walk on their own, expanding the ways younger Sims can interact with household pets. Now it’s not just teens and adults who can take their four-legged friends for a stroll.
Pet Careers by adeepindigo
Adds three pet careers from The Sims 2: Security, Service, and Show Business, each with four job levels. Dogs can climb the career ladder by learning commands, while cats stay at the base level but get paid as much as dogs at the highest rank.
Pet Care by llexSims
Combines feeding functions for different pets into a single mod, adding care options for aquarium fish, frogs, and axolotls. Now you can give them names, feed them, and talk to them through aquariums, terrariums, and containers for collectible critters.
Train your Puppies by LittleMsSam
Lets you start training puppies in basic commands before they grow up, just like in real life. Young pets can learn four essential commands: sit, lie down, speak, and heel.
Immediate Fill Pet Food Bowl Cheat by sims4me
Adds an instant refill cheat for pet food bowls via the cheat menu when you shift+click. A handy way to quickly fill bowls without waiting for Sims to do it.
Allergic to Fur and More Traits by ilkaSimming
Adds nine realistic traits related to Sims’ attitudes toward animals: allergy to fur/cats/dogs, hates animals/cats/dogs, and afraid of animals/dogs/cats. Sims with allergies will sneeze and cough around pets, those who hate animals will get angry and build relationships slower, and those who are afraid will get tense and be cautious around furry friends.
Let Me Check My Pets Info by BrickLion_Workshop
Fixes an interface inconsistency by adding the ability to view detailed information about cats and dogs via notifications, just like you can for horses. Now you can see current needs, fears, obsessions, learned behaviors, and also access the pet’s profile and outfit planning.
Improving Skills After Horse Competitions by Szemoka
Makes participating in horse competitions more realistic – now serious training and competing will build skills for both riders and horses. Taking part in competitions becomes not just entertainment but a way to level up abilities.
About Free-Range by lot51
Cows and llamas can now freely roam the lot – like chickens and rabbits – without having to stay in their shelter all the time. Use special markers to set up a grazing area and a shelter: during the day the animals will graze on grass, and at night or in bad weather they’ll gather by the shelter or go inside.
Pet Care Activities by adeepindigo
Lets you send pets (or go with them) to rabbit holes for fulfilling needs, learning tricks, going to the vet, shopping, and other activities. All options are available via computer or phone – you can select multiple pets at once, and each activity’s cost and duration is listed in the description.
Horse Competitions Give FAME and FRIENDSHIP! by Waffle's Mix-Ins
Now, winning in horse competitions will earn Sims fame points and boost friendship with their horse. The reward size depends on the competition level: from a small amount of fame at beginner ranks to a big fame boost at higher levels.
Custom Career – Pet Sitter by SimsandWhims
Adds a new Pet Sitter career with three levels and a flexible part-time schedule, suitable for teens, adults, and elders. The job is a rabbit hole style career and won’t interfere with school.
