Selectable Pets Always is a lightweight script creation for The Sims 4 that keeps your pets selectable at all times, removing the need to manually enable the hidden toggle_selectable_pets cheat every time you load your game or switch zones.
Once active, pets in your household can be clicked on just like a human or occult Sim, giving you the ability to view their needs—hunger, bladder, energy and more—directly in the status panel. This also makes it easier to teleport a pet that becomes stuck in a locked area after wandering off and returning.
It's a great pick for players who own Cats & Dogs or Horse Ranch and want more direct oversight of their animal companions without having to type console commands every session. The script works by hooking into the game's client manager function safely, calling the original code first so it stays compatible with most other mods and future game updates.
