Pet collars

[Auntie]

Am I missing something here?  My sim went to the pet store, bought a collar.  The collar went into the sims wardrobe.  So how do I get it to the dog?

Go to a mirror and change the pet's appearance. Might not work on custom mirrors made pre-Pets so be sure to use a Maxis made mirror.

Thanks!   I was hoping somebody would come up with that soon.

Thanks everyone.  I'll try the mirror thing.

Okay, here's what I get.  I was trying this before with a user created mirror.  I replaced it with a Maxis floor mirror and got the option to change the dog's appearance but option 3 where you select the dog collar said I had none.  Just to be sure, I sent old Cyd back to the pet store.  The dog collar catalog showed the first collar in the wardrobe.  I bought a second collar and tried the mirror thing again.  It still showed no collars.  It is like the toddler clothing thing all over.

Oh for goodness sake! Like I would have thought about putting a collar on the dog using a friggin mirror. How stupid!

Make sure you have the right size collar. I'm pretty sure Cyd has a Small dog so the Large dog collars probably won't fit.

How do you know what's large and what's small? Those damn collars all look the same except for color.

[Auntie]

Sizes?  They come in sizes?  How would I know sizes?

Just like how you buy childrens clothing with the parent. You click on the icon for the small dog/large dog/cat at the top of the interface.

Thank ye gads I wasn't the only one who couldn't work out the pet collars.  I ended up buying  about six of the things  and stupidly kept trying the wardrobe option, convincing myself it must be a bug
