Since pets' moodlets were never intended to be seen by the developers of the Sims 4, when their panels are accessed they all show up with this weird blank moodlet that you have to guess what motive it's from. It's always bugged me and so I made a quick mod to fix that!
Now, the motive-related moodlets given to your pets have their own icons, descriptions, and names, just like a regular sim would for the corresponding motives. This makes it much, much easier to actually tell what is going on when playing as a pet in the Sims 4.


Before... And After the mod!
Though not technically required, it's also highly reccommended that you also download my better pet emotions mod in order to have the emotion labeled and colored as seen in the pictures, enhancing your experience even further!
Pets have 7 motives, 6 of which give a distress buff when low:
- Bowel
- Bladder
- Energy
- Play
- Hunger
- Affection (Dogs only)
Hygeine does not give a motive when low. Pets seem to tolerate being dirty far more than sims do.
May add more moodlets extending out from the basic needs as well like sickness, skunk spray, given treat, etc... So stay tuned for possible updates and additions to this mod! Horses are also not supported because I do not own that pack at the moment.
IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS MOD ALSO REQUIRES THE XML INJECTOR MOD TO WORK, ALONG WITH THE SELECTABLE PETS MOD.
Required packs: Cats and Dogs
Compatibility: This mod will conflict with anything that alters any of the files:
buff/buff_(any motive)_(cat or dog)_Distress(+Lazy)
