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 Friend Candles!

Buy Mode Price:  969
Buy Mode Category:  Miscellaneous -> Pets
Statistics:  Max out Pet Relationship scores to 100!

Enabled for use at-home and on all away-from-home lots
Requirements:  The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack.

Object Description:

Similar to our Friendship Candles for Sims, these candles allow you to choose any animal by name, and become Best Friends with them instantly (maxing out both long term and short term relationship scores to 100!).  If the animal is not on the lot, he/she will materialize right beside your Sim to thank you.  This includes animals both inside and outside of your Sim's family... even NPCs!  (currently Cats, Dogs, Wolves and Skunks).  Click "Info" in the game for additional details.  The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack is required.  Enjoy your new furry friends!

GAME PLAY INFO:

Some animals might run off the lot immediately after materializing..... others might reject the initial "hug" or "rub belly" - it depends upon their personality.  Animals by nature in The Sims 2 Pets expansion pack can be difficult to control sometimes.  So if that happens, you might notice the relationship scores are not showing in your Sim's Relationships Section.  Don't worry, the score is recorded - and if you click on the animal again and select an interaction (any interaction), it will display once the interaction is completed.

Stray skunks are available via this object, but you probably will not establish a relationship score with them.  However you can hold and hug them without getting sprayed.

Categories include Large Dogs, Small Dogs, Cats, Skunks and Wolves.  An "Other" was also added in case there are official (or unofficial) addons of new species in the future.  All these species have both "Currently On Lot" and "Currently Off Lot" options -- this will help distinguish between family member pets (or those just visiting) and all the other pets in the neighborhood.

Wolves might or might not be in your game by default - if not, try the "Summon Wolves" (werewolf clicking on the lot gets that option) and that should create them.

Yes, that is a dog food bowl holding the candles.  Of course.  Doesn't everybody do that?

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.
