New Mods: Easier Relationships with your pets
I have some new mods out. The first of the bunch are a set of mods that make it easier to gain relationship with your pets. It was starting to get old that it would take too much time for my sims to have ncie relationships with their pets. After all, I want my sims to do other things too.
Improved Relationship Gain with Pets
This is a set of three separate mods, which you can use together, or individually, to improve your relationship with your pets. One file is for cats, one for dogs, and one for horses. Again, you may mix and match these mods as you please.
Improved Beloved Pet, and other Animal-Related Traits
This mod decreases the cost of the Beloved Animal Lifetime Reward, and improves the relationship gain bonus from having the lifetime reward. Additionally, the mod increases relationship gain bonus for Animal Lovers, Dog Lovers, Cat Lovers and Equestrians, as well as for Friendly pets.
[Pets] Horse mod: Immediate Interactions for Rails on Horse Jumping Objects
This mod alters the AlterObstacle Interaction available on all Horse Jumping objects. The interaction has been made immediate, so your sims will no longer need to walk to the object to pick up, add, or remove rails.

Horse mod: No Autonomous Bottle Feed Foal
This mod disables autonomous bottle feeding of foals.
Important Details:
- This mod requires the Sims 3 PETS Expansion Pack. Using it without PETS should not have any effect on your game, but it will be a totally useless waste of space.
- This mod was built with patch 1.34, and is compatible with patches 1.29, 1,31 and 1.33. It is also extremely likely to be compatible with patch 1.26.
- Due to its simplicity, this mod may not necessarily require an update after major patches. It’s always best to check in, though.
Compatibility:
- This mod will conflict with any other mod that alters the SimBottleFeedFoal_Sim resource in the GameplayData.package.
- At the time of writing this, I do not know of any mod that will conflict with this mod.
- If you are not sure if a mod will conflict with another, use Delphy’s Sims 3 Dashboard Tool to check.

Horse mod: No Autonomous Exit Box Stall, multiple flavors
This was another request by the very nice people over at Equus Sims.
This mod is compatible with patch 1.36.
NEW FLAVOR Available at Simlogical!
Important Details:
- This mod requires the Sims 3 PETS Expansion Pack.
- This mod was built with patch 1.31 and I cannot guarantee that it will be compatible with any other patch level. Because it alters the Motives XML, it will very likely be incompatible with all major update patches. Check back for updates before putting this mod in your game after patch
Compatibility:
- This mod is NOT compatible with any other mod that alters the Exit_BoxStall ITUN and Motives XML resources in the GameplayData.package.
- This mod WILL conflict with my No/slower Social and Exercise Decay for Horses mods. It will also conflict with any other mod that changes motive decay in the game, including Twoftmama’s motive decay mods.
- If you are not sure if a mod will conflict with another, use Delphy’s Sims 3 Dashboard Tool to check.
What does it do?
This mod disallows autonomous use of the “Exit” interaction on the Box Stall for horses. Additionally, it changes the decay rate for the hidden motive “BoxStallBoredom” for Horses.
Again, these mods are not compatible with my No/Slower Social and Exercise Decay for Horses mods. Please choose one of the flavors listed below.
| Flavor | Description |
| No Autonomous Exit Box Stall | Horses do not autonomously exit the box stall, and the BoxStallBoredom motive does not decay. |
| No Autonomous Exit Box Stall, Slower Social and Exercise Decay | Horses do not autonomously exit the box stall. BoxStallBoredom motive does not decay. Social and Exercise motives decay significantly slower. See the table below for exact motive decay rates. |
| No Autonomous Exit Box Stall, No Social and Exercise Decay | Horses do not autonomously exit the box stall. The BoxStallBoredom, Social and Exercise motives do not decay. |
NOTE: This mod will not stop all autonomous exiting of the box stall. If a horse’s motives are too low, the horse will stop what it’s doing and go satisfy its motives some other way. This means: if your horse’s Social and Exercise motives fall to a critical level, they will leave their stall anyhow and do something else. All other needs can be satisfied inside the Box Stall.
Motive decay rate changes for the Slower Social and Exercise motive decay flavor:
| Original Social Decay | New Social Decay | Original Exercise Decay | New Exercise Decay | |
| Horse | -8.33/hr | -.71/hr | -17.86 | -.78/hr |
| Unicorn | -6.67/hr | -.57/hr | -11.43/hr | -.5/hr |
If you have any problems with your horses leaving their box stalls too much, let me know and I’ll see what I can do. I am not comfortable removing the motive exit (when a sim stops doing something to satisfy a critical motive) for those two motives as I don’t want people to get their horses taken away.

Horse Mod: No/Slower Social and Exercise Decay for Horses and Unicorns (1.31)
19 June 2012 – Updated Slower Motive Decay mod to fix a typo which caused horse social motives to decay too quickly. Please re-download.
2 March 2012 – Updated for patch 1.31.
Please re-download if you patched your game.
This mod was requested by a very nice person over at Equus Sims. I have two flavors available.
Important Details:
- This mod requires the Sims 3 PETS Expansion Pack. Using it without PETS may have unpredictable consequences. There is no reason to use this mod if you don’t have PETS, as this mod only affects motive decay for Horses and Unicorns.
- This mod was built with patch 1.31 and I cannot guarantee that it will be compatible with any other patch level.
- Please check for updates before using this mod after a major patch, as it is very likely to require an update.
Compatibility:
- This mod is NOT compatible with any other mod that alters the Motives XML in the GameplayData.package. Therefore, this mod is NOT compatible with any mod that alters the fundamental motive decay rates for other species. Twoftmama’s 50% Energy Decay mod, and her Slower Motive Decay mod, are both examples of mods that will conflict with this mod. Use only one!
- This mod will conflict with my No Autonomous Exit Box Stall mods. Those mods include this functionality, so if you want both, use No Autonomous Exit Box Stall.
- If you are not sure if a mod will conflict with another, use Delphy’s Sims 3 Dashboard Tool to check.
Slower Social and Exercise Decay for Horses
This mod drastically slows down the Social and Exercise motive decay rates for Horses, and consequently, Unicorns.
| Original Social Decay | New Social Decay | Original Exercise Decay | New Exercise Decay | |
| Horse | -8.33/hr | -.71/hr | -17.86 | -.78/hr |
| Unicorn | -6.67/hr | -.57/hr | -11.43/hr | -.5/hr |
No Social and Exercise Decay for Horses and Unicorns
This mod removes decay for the Social and Exercise motives for Horses, and consequently, Unicorns.
