The Sims 4 Pets: New Animation Codes for Cats and Dogs!

Modder TwistedMexi uncovered some interesting information regarding Cats and Dogs in The Sims 4 game files. According to his finding, these pets will be able to walk on the following objects:

  • Counters
  • Bars
  • Fridge
  • Tables
  • Beds

He did not find any more pet-supported surfaces that your Pets will be able to walk on but that doesn’t mean there won’t be any more in the upcoming Pets pack.

Here’s a small excerpt from the code which only mentions Cats and Dogs. The more code about Pets get leaked the more evidence we have that this Pack will primarily focus on Cats and Dogs:

<?xml version=”1.0″ encoding=”utf-8″?>
<I c=”SurfacePortalDefinition” i=”snippet” m=”snippets” n=”surfacePortalDefinition_Bar” s=”155512″>
  <U n=”value”>
    <L n=”animation_mapping”>
      <U>
        <E n=”key”>CAT</E>
        <U n=”value”>
          <T n=”factory”>151822</T>
        </U>
      </U>
      <U>
        <E n=”key”>DOG</E>
        <U n=”value”>
          <T n=”factory”>151822</T>
        </U>
      </U>
    </L>
    <L n=”portal_pairs”>
      <U>
        <U n=”portal_end_offset”>
          <T n=”y”>-0.25</T>
        </U>
        <U n=”portal_start_offset”>
          <T n=”x”>0</T>
          <T n=”y”>-1</T>
        </U>
      </U>
      <U>

    wasnt the case in Sims 3, right?
    I know for a fact that it wasnt in Sims 2.

  2. Whitney

    I’m super excited for this expansion now. I wish we knew more or had some concept art.

      the soonest we can get our hands on something official from EA is in July, so keep your eyes peeled!

  3. Jay

    I just wanna know when we might be able to anticipate this pack releasing?

      the soonest it can be released is july, and the latest is september (most likely).

    it’s probably coming in the summer/fall. im so excited!

      That’s my guess as well. Midsummer to late fall, at least.

    I really hope it’s not just cats and dogs. I’ll get the pack regardless, but I’ll be so disappointed.

      Horses are also suppose to be part of the EP. We haven’t seen what other possible animals will come but I also will be purchasing when Pets is available.

        Reply to Rene

        Was there code found for horses as well? Even then, that doesn’t interest me as much as a small mammal, bird or reptile would. But I suppose it gives me hope for them adding farms…

        1. Netrame

          Reply to Courtney Chadwick-Annan

          I think they will make different pack for horses, bec there hasn’t been any coding with horses. With a GP focusing on horses and farm (farm animals too) they could make really good pack.

          1. Courtney Chadwick-Annan

            Reply to Netrame

            Oh God I hope not. Whilst that is a good idea for a GP, we shouldn’t have to be paying for all of that separately. As an EP, I feel like that should all come in one. If they put farms in the EP, it allows them to add a new world, and maybe make it so you can only build farms in that world, like the way there are only apartments in San Myshuno. UNLESS, Pets won’t be an EP, but I highly doubt that. Worst case scenario, farms aren’t an option, but all animals should be available in one pack, in my opinion.

            Reply to Netrame

            Actually, putting horses as a GP with farming stuff could be a good idea. They can be completely fleshed out. And managing a farm would give my poor sims something to do.

            Though Annan is right. Might be too costly with the EP and the GP for some folks.

      without any actual trailers or announcements from EA we can only speculate.

    I’m still holding out that Pets and Seasons will be a free update. I just don’t see why the devs would put this much code into the game to have it be released as paid DLC.

    1. Rene

      Reply to Ian

      It wouldn’t make sense for EA, as a business, to do that especially since Pets and Seasons were always paid items and both popular. Maybe they’ll have light rain as a free update or something similar to how they did free and paid lot traits. Also, they put in codes like this before for past releases within updates. It’s nothing new. For the Vampires, we had the walking style animation and some codings weeks before release, for example. From what I read it’s suppose to cut down on download time for the finish product if they put in parts of the coding within updates into the game during development.

      LOLOLOL keep hoping xD never gonna happen

  7. Frederico Santos

    Probably the pack will only be released at Christmas time cause, yeah, we know how it works…

  8. StoleytheGeek

    If this is such an anticipated expansion pack, we’re not going to get it until either after E3 or after Black Friday

  9. Luca

    I expect Sims 4 Pets in Fall/Winter. Christmas will boost sales, would make sence for such a highly anticipated expansion. My guess : September-December 2017.

  10. Brooke Malkowski

    I was just playing sims and my sim likes the piano. Is it just me or does the city living piano make cat and dog noises?

  11. Emma Harmsen

    I hope horses will come too :()

  12. Teagan

    Not sure if anyone else made the discovery or not… I’m currently playing Sims 4 at the moment and exploring the new ‘Parenthood’ pack. There’s a childs doctor playset that reads ” Tum Tum Teddy is perfect for a child debating becoming a doctor or BECOMING A VETERINARIAN”… Is this another clue for us indicating the imminent approach of Sims Pets?? If so being a vet would be amazing!! A lot like the old Sims 2 Pets on Nintendo DS 😀

    Your local mechanic probably won’t understand how

    One of the most efficient methods of making your brand very popular and viable along with your customer base would be to
    actually tune in to their views on your own brand
    identity and products. No longer could be the discipline just a matter of calling your favourite editors and placing stories strategically on your clients (although we
    still do this) or writing the world’s pithiest website article (we
    still do this too), content-rich copy is increasingly valuable.
