QuestionDoes controlling pets breaks the game?J.J. HeathcoatCommunity AnswerUsing cheats always creates a chance for something to break in the game because you are going beyond the normal limits of what the game is supposed to do. It's highly recommended that you back up your Sims 2 save before you start using cheats. That way you can revert your save back to an unbroken state if something goes wrong.

QuestionCan I tell caged pets, like the bird, what to do?Community AnswerNo. This cheat only works with cats and dogs, since those are the only kinds of pets that have selectable portraits. Birds and womrats are not playable.

QuestionDoes this work on The Sims 4?Community AnswerNo. There's no built-in way to control pets in The Sims 4. You'd need to install a third-party mod to control pets.
