So pets can't go in motorboats/boats?

I played IP back when it was new (the world, I mean.. I also have IP in my game as an expansion haha), and didn't think much of the lagging there. Maybe I was just lucky. I mean, it lagged now and then, but nothing that made it unplayable. It was indeed a beautiful world with a unique ambience, but after a long time, I just thought it was a bit lacking or not my style. The resort stuff was amazing, I loveeee making resorts (with mods because well... they need to work properly) but the resorts also lacked a few things I thought would be really immersive - and I'm a bit sad they didn't plan ahead and make it more versatile.

If I ever go back to play it, I'd have to get one of the fixed versions or something.
