@siirysiir If you have AllCheats, you're all set to use pets.toggle_selectable_pets in the cheat console. If you've done it right, you'll get a "Pets are selectable!" message. (If you turn it off by running the same command, you get a message like "Pets are no longer selectable! Good luck!")
You can then select them with the spacebar (the hotkey to toggle between Sims) or by clicking until the next time you go into CAS or change households/reload the lot. I think the main thing the dedicated Playable Pets mod (it's by Andrew and Orange Mittens) does is leave that toggled on permanently.
@xochiquetzl_xkvnwow thank you so much!! I'll have to update my game and test this right away! Also I had been thinking of trying that mod some time too but if that's the only difference, I see no point haha.. I'm so used to typing in all the cheats once I open the game that I don't even see that as a issue. Just loving the fact how you can always learn from other simmers! 🙂
edit: I tried the cheat and it's the best!
Oh, so, if you use mods, Bienchen (listed on the hero-approved mods page) has a mod to deal with this. Her site is in German but has English translations. It's under Cats and Dogs.
