Real Animated Pets - Goat, Sheep and Llama
This project is our fruit of labour with @deedee-sims. I was looking for a way to have more "alive" pets in Sims 2 and approached DeeDee. Luckily for all of us, she liked the idea and helped me out with the most difficult parts. This project would not be possible without you, thank you DeeDee ❤️
From the technical point of view all animals are custom collars for large dogs (and only large dogs). In order for them to work as on previews, you need to assign your dog a transparent fur (a brand new creation by DeeDee that makes dogs' fur completely invisible, included in the archive) and then pick an animal skin you want from the collar section. If you'd like to change the appearance of an existing large dog, be sure to buy it a desired collar on a community lot first! Dog's breed is also important, it can make chubbier or thinner animals. If your fur doesn't look completely transparent, be sure to uncheck all the fur accessories. I'd recommend using a default white no name breed (looks best with animations).
Swatches:
We (especially DeeDee! ❤️) did our best making new animals move as smoothly as possible, but be aware that clipping is still present in certain animations. Also, these animals behave and sound like normal dogs. Hopefully we'll find a way to mute them in the future.
Animals come with a set of objects that are more appropriate for farm animals - new bed, toy, 2 "bowls" and deco hay. Objects have morphs and dirty states. Note that the feeders works like a pet bowl meaning they will randomly rotate but it won't prevent pets from eating normally.
All animals come with original Sims 4 textures (1024x1024 for llama and 512x512 for goat and sheep), converted and tweaked by me. Animal colors are separated so you can pick and choose only the ones you want. Collection file for objects is included. I also recommend these and these Uldum rug add-ons (if you want other sizes for the hay overlay).
Polycount:
Goat: 3793
Sheep: 3545
Llama: 7133
A special thank you goes to @platinumaspiration for the time and energy she spent explaining additional stuff to me ❤️
@atomtanned made cute llama recolors, here.
Compressed, clearly labelled, picture included.

UPDATE 10/10/2023
Changed pet toy animation to silent chewy one (thank you @vegan-kaktus and @executables-sims), the archive was updated but if you don't want to redownload the whole thing, here's only the updated toy.
UPDATE 12/10/2023
Added a new feeder - prarie grass converted from Sims 4 Horse Ranch. Now your new pets can feed on the fresh grass. Collection file was updated too.
UPDATE 17/02/2024
Fixed toy's thumbnail - it's no longer empty. Added a custom version for the hay rug, I'd recommend using a custom rug rather than ULDUM because it has no outdoor shadow (ULDUM can't be fixed). Updated the collection file to include new rug.

Aquarium date with Floyd Leech
Floyd x reader
There’s something inherently romantic about standing side by side with someone you love. Your shoulder leaning into his arm, fingers interlocked with one another’s. Clutching onto his palm, letting the cool blue lights of the tank wash over your body, rippling through every surface the light could touch.
You watch in awe, as schools of multi coloured fish swim right by, each with their very own appeal. Shimmering scales, deep soulful eyes, or perhaps even an astonishing speed, for one so small. Gently, you place your palm against the glass, if only to get closer to the wonderful world playing out before you at that moment.
A fish takes notice, slowly moving towards your palm. As it swims closer, all you could do was to marvel at its beauty, the flawless design of a creature from the sea itself…
“Oh, whatcha’ looking at, Shrimpy?”
Floyd leans over, draping his lanky body over yours. Hooded eyes glance somewhat listlessly towards the fish in front of you, brightening up in recognition. Opening his mouth wide open, Floyd bares his fangs at the fish, laughing as it zooms away in fright.
“I’ve eaten one of these lil’ guys before! Tasty.”
You glare at him the best you could, stifling your laughter all the while. Folding your arm inwards, you elbow him in the side playfully, chiding Floyd:
“Honestly! You don’t have to say it in front of the fish!”
His lower lip jutted out in a slight pout, a petulant whine slipping right off those lips.
“But it was really tasty… hey, how about I catch one for you? I think it’ll be easy, if I could just slip into the tank…“
Raising your hand, you smack Floyd on the arm lightly, huffing.
“I am not eating this cutie right in front of its family!”
Sighing, Floyd slings an arm around you, pulling you closer to him. Close enough for you to feel his pulse, beating right through his chest. To count every beat of his heart, the pace slowly meshing with yours. Melting into one, steady beat.
“Fine, fine… you’re so uptight, shrimp.”
His gaze flickers here and there, mismatched irises slowly scanning his surroundings. They rest on you, for a while. Staring at your features, illuminated by the azure ripples of the sea. If Floyd squinted a little, he could almost imagine you two were indeed under the sea.
Holding hands while the waves brushed against both of you, coaxing the two lovers closer. Perhaps he’ll give you a good squeeze, with both his arms and his tail too! It’ll be so fun, exploring the ocean’s mysteries with you right by his side… but maybe going straight under the sea wasn’t too much of a good idea.
Well, Floyd supposed the aquarium was a good start. At first, he didn’t want to go at all. What’s the fun of that? Floyd’s pretty sure he’s seen all the sea has to offer, considering he grew up there. However when he saw that sparkle in your eyes, the eagerness you thrusted the brochure at him with… how could he say no?
He wonder if those adorable eyes of yours would sparkle with the same sort of joy, when Floyd takes you under the sea. He’ll bring you to all of his favourite spots! A old shipwreck teeming with ancient artefacts, a particular reef, teeming with corals of all shapes and sizes… maybe even his little cave Floyd decked out with all his treasures.
But for now…
Seeing you smile is enough for Floyd.
