INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

Unzip and put all files ending in ".package" into this folder: 
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads
Or if you are a frequent downloader, it might help you organize your downloads better if you created a new folder and named it "Simslice", like this:
C:\..\My Documents\EA Games\The Sims 2\Downloads\Simslice

(Note:  The "Downloads" folder is not created when the game is installed, but only when the auto-installer from the game is first used.  So if you don't have this "Downloads" folder or if you are new to downloading, simply create the folder in that location (spelled exactly the same - use the capital "D"))

DESCRIPTION:

Pet Generator!

Buy Mode Price:  5038
Buy Mode Category:  Electronics -> Computers

Enabled for use on all lots
Requirements:  The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack to use these features obviously.  If you don't have this expansion, then you can still use this teleportation chamber as a decoration on your lot.

Object Description:

Instantly beam over any pet on your lot whenever you want.  Animals include any cat, dog, skunk or wolf:  be they NPC, neighbor or stray.  Bright flashes with techy sounds occur during the materialization process.  Your Sim will probably try to greet them and the animals may embrace it, depending upon their relationship score with your Sim.

GAMEPLAY INFO:  

If an animal is already on your lot, you'll notice their name will not appear on the Pet Generator pie menu option.  Once they leave, their name will reappear - so you can bring them back over (and over and over...) if you want.

The animals usually will stay around for a while, but depending on several factors and the type of the pet, they might run off the lot.  You can always beam them back anytime you want.

You may never see this, but we added an "Other" category just in case someday there are new animals added to the game and if so then they will show under that option.

Animals are grouped by their type (cat, dog, skunk, wolf, and other) then by family name (last name).  The NPCs usually are all grouped under one name, which can vary from game to game.  That's just the way NPCs are coded in the game (example last names:  "Default", "Smith", etc.)

Removing an NPC that may just hang around too long:

Usually you can click on the pet, select "shoo" and they leave voluntarily.  In some cases you may want a faster way to remove an animal from your lot.  This option involves the "Move Objects cheat" to remove the pet.  It is an official cheat by Maxis, and should be safe enough and easy to use, but it MUST be done properly:

Go into the Buy or Build Mode, then hold down Ctrl+Shift while you hit the "c" key.  This brings up the white "cheat box" which will appear at the top of the screen.  Type in "moveobjects on" (without the quotes and lowercase) and hit enter.  Then click on the animal and hit the delete key.  Then bring the cheat box back up the same way as before, and type "moveobjects off" (without the quotes and lowercase) and hit enter.  It's very important that you do that last step too.  Then play the game as usual. :)

Note:  If you make a typo (it will tell you), and that white cheat box doesn't go away when you're done with it, just type "exit" (no quotes, lowercase) to remove it.

NEED MORE HELP?:

If you have any questions about downloading, unzipping and installing, please visit our FAQ page which has very detailed instructions at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm 

Any problems with crashes, freezes or objects not showing up are 99.9% of the time related to either "requirements" not being met, OR a fluke in the downloading/installing process... but it's NOT because of the actual object coding itself.  Check our FAQ page for a very detailed list of these issues and resolutions you can do to resolve them.  Typically the fix is to double check the requirements, and if you meet them, then delete and redownload the item.  Do NOT use Simzip to unzip them.  Further information as previously stated, is detailed on our FAQ page at http://www.simslice.com/faq.htm.  If you still need help after consulting our FAQ page, please contact us and we'll try to help further.
