If you’re an animal lover and you know it, clap your hands.
Or, you know. Decorate your house accordingly.
The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs EP gave us a lot in terms of gameplay (plus cute critters to own) and CAS. I actually really enjoyed the new hair and the new outfits they added. The paw-print crop top sweater is a personal fave. The Build n’ Buy items weren’t too shabby, either!
I’d say it was a healthy mix of decorative objects and functional furniture.
But, hey; we could always do with a little more, right?
So here’s a collection of cute pet clutter items to scatter around your Sim’s home.
1. Misc. Cats & Dogs Clutter: The Leash Wrangler by brazenlotus
I know this is technically a furniture item – and not a decorative/clutter item – since it’s functional.
However, the design is really cute and really unique.
If it’s tucked away into the corner of a room or used with strategic décor pieces, this pet bed could fit into an aesthetically pleasing picture.
I will say that the navigation on the creator’s website is a little confusing. So if the original download page doesn’t work, you can always try their alternate links on Sims Finds. Here’s the one for dogs and this is the one for cats.
All you need to know is that these are cute cat beds you can insert into shelves alongside regular item drawers. The insert beds are part of a set (that I’ll be covering later), but you can download them individually here.
They’re either really clever, really aesthetically pleasing, super functional, or all of the above.
This set of 13 pet-themed decorations falls under the last category.
The wooden dog and cat wall art, the cute pawprint décor, the hanging rack shaped like a dog bone treat… seriously. All cute concepts executed beautifully.
Only the cactus-shaped cat scratching post requires The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs EP. Everything else is – you guessed it! – base game compatible.
I am aware that we have perfectly fine (and furnished!) pet clinics thanks to the Cats & Dogs expansion pack.
But what if your Sim wants to build a portable pet care center? Or what if they decided to convert the unused guest bedroom into an at-home clinic so they can answer emergencies 24/7?
It happens!
With that being said, here you go: a set of 17 custom items perfect for building and designing a space that is one hundred percent cat-and-dog friendly.
It contains a mix of functional furniture and cute, pet-themed décor/clutter items!
Anyway, this is the CC set I briefly mentioned before in Ravasheen’s Functional Cubby (Cat) Bed Insert.
It’s a grab bag of 12 cat-themed and cat-friendly creations, all looking beautiful and aesthetic as heck.
Seriously; even if your Sim doesn’t own a cat, the furniture and décor in this pack would not look out of place in their living space. I can guarantee this.
All the objects in this set are clever and beautifully constructed, but the ones that caught my eye the most have to be the:
Floating-shelves cat tree
Functional cat bed cubby insert
And the fuzzy floor jar of flowers (that doubles as a cat scratch post)
This biscuit-shaped (and themed!) pet bed is in the same vein as the Pet Bed “Maple Leaf” by helen-sims. It’s a functional furniture item that could, if left to its own devices look and feel like particularly decorative rug!
Especially since the shape and design of it is so distinctive!
I recommend placing on floors with contrasting colors to really make the ginger-brown of the biscuits pop!
I am so freaking happy I stumbled across this gem.
These items are pet-slash-animal themed items that are beyond aesthetic.
Light-washed wood? Soft, muted pastels? Intricate woven designs? Clean, minimalist blends of round edges and solid lines?
I think I’m in love.
The quality of this set is off the charts. I mean, the pet bunk bed is genius enough, as is the food-and-water-bowl combo. But add the giraffe hanging lights, the macramé cat bed, and the beautiful dusky rose-colored French pet sofa?
Words literally cannot describe how much I love the objects here.
