More Awesome Than You!

Is this just me?
1. Pets are on the list of invitees for parties...  so are familiars who are not on the lot!
2. Familiars Error when trying to get through the new bookcase/revolving door.  "Error: Animation name is empty string."   I haven't tried it with a normal pet.
3. Caged birds get stuck after a while.  No error, you just can't interact with them..

I have M&G installed with all SPs and EPs.  The house I'm playing is the one in Belladonna cove with the 2 sisters who want to be witches, but I don't think it's the house.  There's a ton of CC in game including most of the directors cut & twojeffs caged pet fixes (AL version).

maybe the Pets are just borked to think they are human - I've had that before, but the familiars were new in this play session.

Fixed. Pets can no longer attempt to autoportal through the secret door.

So if you summon them on the wrong side of the door, they can't get to food, bed, scratching post etc etc... :-\

where is it? - EDIT obviously it's  autosecretdoor.package - found in the usual zip file.

Yeah, pretty much. Same thing that happens with normal pets. Except Spectral Pets just go poof.

Any word on why I'm getting familiars & other pets on the party menu if they aren't present on the lot?

I guess the caged bird problem is probably twojeffs AL hack not working in M&G - I'll take it out & see what happens.

birds aren't on the party list.  It's a few pets and the brand new familiar who is not on the lot at party call time.  I wondered if it was related to the "want to talk to pet" issue that Pes promised to fix in wfsanity.  If it was just pre-existing pets, I'd buy seriously borked, but a brand new familiar?  The bat box did offer delete an invisible sim option on the lot which I duly clicked......

Thanks for the word on cagedpetfix in M&G.  Problem hasn't reoccured so far, but was on the same lot as the party pet problem.

When I started playing those sisters (the Cordials), some Maxis catalog content had red thumbnails.  I then tried checking the catalog content in an empty house and everything loaded fine; so I moved the sisters.  No problems whatsoever since, though I suppose that could be a coincidence. ;D

I've had this before too where a university sim had a party and his childhood dog from home was an option on the invite list.
I wisely chose not to invite... also I'm pretty sure this was pre-AL?

I had that error with BV and the Katt family.  It was funny seeing the cat sit at bar and drink juice.  They were all listed as human instead of pets when I opened them up in SimPE.

I just deleted that game and installed my back up of hood.

Cyd Roselands dog Porthos also shows up on the invite list for me, I have all EPs and stuff packs except M&G.  As far as I can tell (which isn't far because I suck at SimPe) Porthos is listed as a dog in SimPe SimBrowser overview.   I did try inviting him to the party but he didn't show up with the other guests.
