Happy Go Lucky Trait for Dogs
I was browsing The Sims 4 Community Facebook Group the other day when I came upon a thread talking about how difficult it can be to take care of pets in the Sims 4. Several people asked if there was a mod that made pets easier to take care of and happy all the time. Well, here is my mod for that! This doesn’t make them happy all the time, but most of the time. They’ll never get sad, but they might still get scared and tense. Luckily, all those negative moods/buffs go away five times faster with this trait. Also, Happy Go Lucky doggies never run away!
Features:
- Never gets sad or depressed.
- Never runs away from home.
- Negative moodlets dissipate 5x faster than normal.
- Most needs decay at 10% of the normal rate so they aren’t as “needy”.
- The need to poop is left at normal rate for those who use it as fertilizer in their gardens.
- Happy almost all the time!
- Includes alternate flavor of the trait which prevents doggies from EVER dying OR aging past adulthood
- Now removes all chances of dogs from ever acquiring any Fear Quirks.
Requirements:
CATS & DOGS
Current Version:
v1.5 – 08/19/2024 – Made several improvements including the removal of fear quirks. Notice: This trait will now conflict with LMS’ Anti-Fear Training.

Hey Lizzie, I love this happy go lucky dog trait, it keeps my doggos and Sim dog parents happy 🙂
When I redownloaded for this new patch, the simularity-traitdog-happygolucky text files within the download say that the newest version of this trait mod is from 2022, but the actual package files next to the text file are both still old from 2021. Could it be that they accidentally did not get replaced on the google drive? I also tried the other download buttons, but all of them have the same older files.
Thanks a lot in advance!!
Warmly,
Karolina

I checked all my files in all places and the newest version that I have and have been using is from 11/21 so I have no idea why the text file says 3/22. It’s a complete mystery to me! The mod files in the zip (11/21) do have my last updates in it so I don’t know why at all the 3/22 date is in the text file. I just double checked the mod and it’s still the working version. Sorry for the confusion (I confused myself too!).
TL;DR The version you downloaded is the latest version and the text file is wrong. Sorry!
