In October 2011, EA released a game update (patch version 1.26 for PC, 1.27 for Mac) to coincide with the release of the Pets EP. These both included substantial changes to the way Custom Content (CC) works, to enable the animations of Pets to work with objects they could interact with.

The result was that all pre-existing CC was broke and failed to work in the updates games.

TSR have worked tirelessly for days to fix the problem for the entire Sims community. First we fixed our Workshop tool so that all newly created CC would work with the latest game versions. Then we started fixing all of our Sims 3 downloads on the server so that newly downloaded content would also work. Finally, and this is why you are here, we released a tool to fix players’ games, patching their downloaded CC as well as that already installed in their games. The result was a "fix it all" tool to get players games working again. It’s called "TSR Pets CC Bug Fixer", and you can download it in step 1 of our guide.

Less Chance to Startle Deer - This mod halves the chance a sim will startle a deer. Pretty simple. This file also changes the Wildlife Friend skill or whatever it is. By default someone with this skill (I honestly don't know what it is, might be hidden?) gets the chance of startling dropped by 20.

Tougher Bills (updated for Pets) - This is a mod that makes billing much harder. Now updated for Pets! The default billing rate is .013 the value of a sim's household. This means that if your house was worth exactly 20k, you would be billed 260 simoleons a week. This raises it to .05, meaning a home worth 20k would bring 1,000 simoleon bills each week.

How To: Share Collections - All it takes to share the collection is that one single file...
