TL;DR
Hey Simmers,
Rudi has a big mod-achievement for you today: it's time for my ninth mod
Just recently I play tested my new awesome house, that's cramped up with clutter and plants all the way up
to the roof. I tested the house with my pets and had to realize, that they aren't able to use
many of the things I placed for them, cause the spaces are just too tight. Also whenever my familiy tried
to interact with their pets, they had to walk through the entire house, cause they had no suitable space left.
But no more! With this mod, those issues will forever be a sorrow of the past.
Explanation - how the mod works
This mod reduces the space that pets (horses, dogs and cats) need for doing things, similar to my other mods. It does this by overwriting the jig size for each pet interaction. A jig is an invisible object that’s auto placed on the ground, while e.g. two sims are talking to each other. Other sims will walk around the other sims talking, cause the jig (placed under the sims talking) obstructs the routing-way for other sims. By default all jigs are quite big, in most cases even way bigger than they need to be. But if you reduce the jig size by a mod, than those interactions are possible even in tiny over-cluttered rooms.
Here an example: Playing guitar has originally a jig, that’s 2x2 boxes/meters big, which meant sims often walk outside the house, cause nowhere is enough free space for this very big jig to place down. I solved this issue with my other mod, by reducing the size of the jig for playing guitar.
Recommended Mods, that further improve routing
How to install
Technical Details
I dearly hope your pets enjoy their new freedom.

Happy Simming
- with this mod, your pets (cats, dogs, horses) need half of the space for all interactions
- this mod improves routing for your pets, escpecially for those clunky horses
- compatible with “Interaction on sloped terrain enabler” by nikel23
- the pets expansions is required for this mod to do anything
- Installation: just put all the files in your packages-folder, the usual way, nothing special required, merging is no problem
- Conflicts: highly unlikely, see below for detail
- compatible with simler90's Gameplay Core Mod (Update 198 and above, since 28th Apr 2024)
- Patch: v1.67/v1.69 (probably works with lower patches as well)

Technical Details
- Patch: v1.67/v1.69 (probably works with lower patches as well)
- this mod can’t affect animations
- this mod can’t affect scripting-errors, that are caught by NRaas-Error-Trap
- this mod edits the all jigs that came with the Pets expansion pack
- Conflicts: only if you have a mod installed who's editing exactly this resource as well, but I assume that's highly unlikely
- use delphys dashboard to check for conflicts
I dearly hope your pets enjoy their new freedom.

Install Instructions
Quick Guide:
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
