I thought I saw somewhere that if you buy a new pet, but don't take it out of the tool tray, the original pet would be gone and you could then return the new pet to the store. I have not tried it, so I cannot say for certain it works, but might be worth a try?

I wonder what would happen if you removed the pets image from the images file? Not delete it, just move it into a backup file and see what happens. Or would that totally mess things up?

I wouldn't want to test what happens when there's an image missing..my guess is either an error message, crash or invisible pets.

It would be better to get a mod that just makes the pets invisible so you at least have the file loading into the game.

You're absolutely right, Lyssaria - I wasn't thinking straight. I tested it (cuz I'm wreckless smile ), and the game wouldn't load.

I think you are right - get a mod that makes the pets invisible so there is a file to load. Or maybe the pets could all be changed to roombas, so it just looks like the rooms are being vacuumed all the time. grin grin grin

In case knk's method doesn't work, I attached a modded pet grid below so they'll show up invisible for you. Remember to backup your original if you do use it, since you'll probably want the pets back someday. smile

I'm currently testing knk's method in a family. When I have another pet show up, I'll post how it goes.

It doesn't work until you set the new pet down in the house or yard. I've replaced turtle twice.

Pets are not replaced until you set them down. Think about it... if the old pet vanished as soon as you bought a new pet from the store, you wouldn't be able to change your mind and return the new pet to the store with no harm done!
