Amojie I wish I had your patience!!!

Where did you get the fish and minor pet no death mod? And the no spin saddle mod?

What does the dragon mod tweak?

Does the leaf raking one tweak how long it takes?

Thank you for such informative posts!

The fish and minor pet mods are at TFM’s Naughty Sims Asylum. The fish mod comes in two parts. One is for only aquariums and the other is for only fish bowls, by two different modders, so look for both.

The no spin saddle mod is also at TFM’s Naughty Sims Asylum. As is the leaf mod. In fact, I have seen more than one leaf mod there, so look at all the different modders to find all the possible versions/variations until you see the one you want. They all do something a little different.

The people at TFM’s Naughty Sims Asylum are very good about letting you know if their mods are working well with the latest patch or still need updating. I think everyone's mods are now updated except some by TFM, who has real life things slowing her down. She will eventually get them all updated -- she has gazillion mods, so it takes a while to do them all. The ones I use of hers have all been updated to the last patch.

It is worth your while to sign up, there, and look at each modder's offerings. The site index can be somewhat confusing, but persist, because it has, by various modders, the most comprehensive listing of mods that I have ever seen, and you really need to be familiar with what is available.

The dragon mod is at Mod the Sims. It does different things, depending on what you download along with the mod itself. The main thing I got it for was to make actions non-autonomous, so sims don't keep putting the dragon on the floor and losing it. It's called Dragon Valley Dragon Mods, by Margaret Pendragon. When I asked if it was working with patch 1.66, she said "It should, though I haven't played with the dragons in awhile. Store content isn't usually affected by general patches." If it was good with 1.66, then it should also be good with 1.67, because nothing changed that would affect a mod like that. But apparently she isn't going to check further, because she never answered if it is compatible with 1.67, which is the problem I have with most modders at MTS. They don't seem too eager to tell us their mods are safe with the latest patch. (Some modders there actually told me not to ask, but to assume things are working unless someone complains they aren't. What??? I think that is irresponsible modding.) At any rate, I haven't had any problems with the main dragon mod. I don't use her add-on mods that can go with it, so I can't tell you anything about them.

Mod the Sims used to be the best place for mods, but I have been less pleased with them in the last year or so, primarily because they are not responsive, anymore, for the most part. Some people also have their own sites, and keep those sites updated more than they do their things at Mod the Sims. (For instance, EllaCharmed has more on her site, unless she has since added those things to Mod the Sims, and I haven't noticed, recently.) So, while I use Mod the Sims from modders that verify their mods still work with the latest patch, I no longer completely trust that site, like I used to. Sigh.
