Shark harness

Why is the shark harness available for both breeds big and small but the normal harness is only available for the large breeds that’s just unfair

  • @OBLIVION_HF , I agree as well! 🙂 I have had 2 Pugs and used a harness on each of them.  While Pugs are the largest breed of "toy dog" category, they are still small dogs.  
    It was probably just an oversight, but I wish there were normal harnesses for both sizes of dogs in the game!

    @SheriGR , before reading your post, I recognized Pinky immediately! 🥰

  • @OBLIVION_HF That's a very good point. I only once made/played a large breed dog once and never noticed this, and I would love to have a regular harness for my small dogs! Example... this is the re-make of my rl Chihuahua, Pinky. She is very tiny in rl and in the game, and it would seem really weird to put her in a shark harness. Just sayin'. Mind you, I have also own the pets stuff pack, and I still only see that one option for her in the harness options. I'm adding my 'Me Too' and 'XP'. 🙌

    @OBLIVION_HF Pinky is my real-life, tiny, rescue Chihuahua. She weighs about 5 pounds. She had a rough start in life (neglected by her original owners), but has done very well in our home. She has alopecia, allergies, and can barely see now (plus her tongue now hangs out on the side a bit now-a-days). She loves to burrow in blankets on the couch. Everybody loves Pinky and Pinky loves everybody! Years ago I made her in my game for a particular challenge... this is her sitting next to me on the couch few days ago:


    I just uploaded Pinky, tiny Chihuahuas are your thing ❤️!

  • I think the whole pet clothing section needs to be opened up and the same stuff available for all pets, plus the "Walking" category is a real problem as adopted pets get weird outfits stuck that can't be removed. You rescue a pet, you want to take it home and get it taken care of and bathed and changed out of the clothes it's been sleeping rough in...but you can't because the outfit can't be removed (at least on console it can't). So it's stuck in that strange tutu dress or hoodie that wasn't available in that category but was randomly assigned before you rescued it.

    On a side note...aww much love to Pinky, Princess of the chihuahuas!

    @simsplayer818 Thank you for the sweet words about Pinky!! 🙌

    You may want to attempt a workaround for the adopted stray dog you're having an issue with changing the clothing on as follows:

    • Make sure the dog is adopted so it's in your household.
    • Activate the cheat console: 
      On PC/Mac, with your lot open, press Shift+Control+C to open the cheat console box (upper left of your screen). Enter the following in the cheat code box…
      testingcheats on (press enter):  (Note: testingcheats true also works)
           Open cheats on console
           On PS4/PS5 press and hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2
           On Xbox press and hold LT + RT + LB + RB for a couple of seconds
    • Now press Shift and right click with your mouse on the pet. You should get a pop-up, and one of the options should be to 'Modify in CAS'
    • Once CAS opens. click the dog's jacket you wanted to remove, then click the small red "X" on pet clothing at the right:
    • This should delete the unwanted clothing from the dog. Click 'done' to save:


    Hope this helps! 🙂

    @OBLIVION_HF , sorry for the misunderstanding.🤦‍♀️😅  I tagged @SheriGR with my comment on Pinky in the 2nd paragraph of my reply (the 1st paragraph was a reply to your original post , which was why I tagged you for that), but if you are reading from the top down, you might have only seen my reply right under your initial post since it was marked as answer/solution, and it would be confusing if you hadn't read @SheriGR 's post that featured the Sim version of her dog Pinky.  My reply makes more sense if you read it after @SheriGR 's initial reply! 😉

  • @SheriGR Thanks for the tips! I've still never used cheats at all but I might just try that one as I have some rescue dogs too embarrassed to go for walks because of the bizarre outfits they arrived with!

    @simsplayer818 Oh my! That's sad.. I never had that happen. I hope it works well for you and your virtual fur-babies, then! 🙌
