Less than a year ago I already shared here at MTS Pet Playgrounds for Riverview. Two lots I share here are heavily inspired by those from the Sims 3.
Description:
A good fishing spot for dogs with great variety of wild rodents and small pets. Berenice Trodden use notice board near the entrance to pin the list of pet vacancies.
Species spawners: all kinds of squirrels, frogs, toads, gopher and turtles
Named in memory of great TS2 CC creator Frances Leese aka Leefish. R. I. P.

Leto Thank her for beautiful park blueprints, for inspiration and for let me to share my edits.
Mootilda's mods, tutorials, programs, tools. And everything!
Leefish's mods, tutorials, programs, tools. And everything!
A month ago Leto shared her wonderful world here at MTS. I fell in love with its rural nature and design. I absolutely adore Oaken Valley has a lot of parks but to be honest those were kind of boring. So I put on Berenice Trotten's suite and decided to develop park areas in Oaken Valley.
I had already critter spawners created by Sun&Moon in my game but I found that had never been tested on community lots. So I decided to test it myself. One day I noticed interesting detail that Sims 2 community lots are always return to their default state after sims visit it. That works but sims must stay on it for 36 hours. So I made it inhabited residential, scrolled the time forward and then switched it back to community type with SimPE that started to work the way I expected.
I still had in mind idea to share it but I know that's impossible with populated lots. So the next step was to follow the only now trustworthy way to clean sims references described in Tutorial made by Jawusa. The result are these two lots, shared from cloned and emptied neighborhood, which once have been populated but have been cleaned then from all leftovers and sims references might have cause your game corruption. OMG. Never though this came up so complicated but I am happy now to have it finished. Once I got permission from Leto then, I decided to share it.
Here are two lots have been built to make your pets' life more joyful and independent from their owners. Each time your sims arrive on any of these lots, they see a lot of critters roaming around on lot. All these will re-appear in the same place every next visit. All pet amenities are used by pets autonomously without any cheats. Once they got dirty - they bath, once got hungry - they eat. And I deleted neither of objects already existed. I just made some rearrangements and enhancements. Obviously you'll need to get Pet riders mod for those lots to make it work like pet playgrounds.
Individual details for each are in next scrolls. Please read it carefully. It has links to CC that was not packed with lots. If you would like to download both lots, please download from the summary list at the end of this thread.

Made by Victor_tor&Leto 2022[MTS]
Features:
For pets:
- Critter spawners (hunger - check)
- Dog fountain (hygiene - check)
- Pet beds (comfort plus energy - check)
- Sticks and mice (fun plus chew - check)
- Basically pet owners have to boost just dogs' social.
- Cats could however ruin furniture with no scratching posts on this lot.
- Barbecue area and picnic tables
- Fishing spot
- A place to socialize
- A place to find a job for their pets
- One secret item on the 3rd floor empty tile
- And note! There is no sinks and no water closets on this lot!
There is CC list which was included in package with lot:
- Custom Dog Toy Stick by vegankaktus [MTS]
BV version - Michelle's recolors of MogHughson's Jobs Notice Board [MTS]
2-tiled in AL light wood frame with cork screen - Batheable Fountains by xptl297 [MTS]
Bamboo fountain - Perfectly Natural Pet Bed by Sophie-David [MTS]
Thick and bright grass recolors - Funny board sign by Leefish [MTS]
Just View Contents Risky Fish Tales Signboard.rar - Place me everywhere lamp by Leefish
- Simple Grate by Leefish
- Rounder Tables by Leefish
- Picnic Bench by Leefish&IngeJones which I paired here with Invisi-booth by Dektora
Invisi-booth by Dektora is not included
There is CC list which was not included in package with lot:
- Invisi-booth by Dektora [MTS]
I prefer to share with Dektora's booth because it has larger seating area than Lee's. If you would like to use Lee's booth, don't forget to download also this hack - Au Naturel Pet Food by Sun&Moon
you need all files from Squirrel, Frog, Toad, Gopher and Turtle - Jamao Birdhouses by *n-a-n-u*
was not included because I don't want to mess with TRAA
There are various CC mods used and shown up in screens but not mandatory to install:
I have used only object fixes for in-game items and global lighting mods. They are not included with package and not necessary for install since these are not affect the gameplay. But you may need them to reach same appearance of this lot in your game. Here is the list:
- Gunmod's Radiance Lighting System ver. 2.5 by dreadpirate
- Rugs - zMOG!! Off Grid!! by Hugelunatic [MTS]
- No red lines during pause by Beosboxboy
- Asayake Garden Lamp Fix by Pineappleforest [MTS]
- "Learned Behavior" cheat object by Numenor secret object which is found on 3th floor free tile. No need to install it. And here just for the link
General tips to place and use the lot:
- Install using default Sims 2 Pack Installer or S2PCI
- Download all unattached CC and place it into your C:\...\Documents\EA Games\The Sims™ 2...\Downloads\
- Place instead of the Pond lot in Oaken Valley or anywhere else in another neighborhood.
- Regardless this lot has particular meaning, it can be visited by both cats and dogs once you got certain mod for that. But I think, you should keep in mind that Leefish Pond does not include any scratching posts and litter boxes for cats, which makes it a bit more suitable for dogs. Unfortunately, in difference with the Sims 3 lots these won't attract more strays and would function very similar to museums.
- I do not use Pond and Sea Water Overhaul any more. But this lot still has one pool tile required for water shaders to work.
- Was tested as residential lot and as copy of community lot.
Known bugs, issues and tips:
- I have Sims 2 UC but I noticed that this lot tend to have objects from certain packs. I guess this one has just objects from Pets and Bon Voyage. And Nightlife is required for invisible booth seats.
- It might be complicated to edit this lot due to those fact it has invisible squirrel spawning points on it. Here is the hint if you ever decide it: each squirrel spawning point is nearby the hanging feeder house (those that are birdfeeders but actually might take squirrels too). All other items are unhidden and have kind of sense in their placement (like all squirrels are near feeders, dog toy sticks are under the trees etc.) But I won't tell you everything not to spoil the fun of your own investigation.
- Each of spawning critters by Sun&Moon has been cloned from roaches. So any forced encounter with sim would leave Roaches! memory and will make sims cry. All mods that affect roaches will affect those critters as well.
- Fish may spawn on the ground corner of this lot after you place it and then visit with sims. This might looking creepy but is one-time bug and next time everything will be all right.

But I think, you should keep in mind that Newt’s Eye Park does not include any baths, which makes it a bit more suitable for cats.

- It might be complicated to edit this lot due to those fact it has invisible scratching posts on it. Here is the hint if you ever decide it: scratching posts are into every Japanese maple tree trunk. Litter boxes and spawning points are all unhidden (you'll see litter boxes when visit the lot in winter) and have kind of sense in their placement (like all birds are near bird feeders etc.) But I won't tell you everything not to spoil the fun of your own investigation.

About all in brief
For all of my recolours that need custom meshes. All policy of use those meshes belongs to theirs creators. Recolours are sharing alike.
Everything I am creating for group projects, other brands and labels that different from mine is respecting their policy and guidelines, not mine.
Other stuff that don't need custom meshes, that made by myself from scratch, all buildings and stuff I share here and brought from exchange is having very simple policy:
DO WHATEVER U WANT WITH MY CREATIONS.
Feel free to use&share my textures, attach my meshes to recolours, rebuild houses etc. until you don't make it for profit.
For Blogspot, TSR, Prosims creations all the same.
Still any questions?
Leave me alone.
