Deformed Cat when editing coat

[Serena Darrin]

Hello all;

So there's lots of stuff about deformed pets, but I couldn't find something specific.

I just got pets.  (Yeay!)  and adopted a cat for my Dynasty family.  This all seems perfectly fine, except I cannot edit the cats coat/collar.  When Create-A-Pet opens, the cat is deformed. 

But otherwise, it displays normally.  Weird. . . .

This seems like a silly question to me but I want to double check.   You're talking about an adult cat not a kitten correct?

[Serena Darrin]

Yes, it's an adult. 

Then again, my computer crashed (went to Blue Screen of Death) shortly after.  Maybe that's got something to do with it?

I'm reloading as I type, but my last save is before they have the cat.  I'll see what happens this time.

[Ricalynn]

That could be part of it.  Don't forget to maybe clear some cache files while you're at it.  Let us know if it happens again.

[Serena Darrin]

Hmm.

So the cat is still deformed when I go to change his coat.  He was fine for a few moments, but when I went into advanced mode, he deformed.

Also, when I've got the cat selected, his head is all deformed too.  But he's displaying fine otherwise.

Weird. . .

I'll play with my graphic settings; I seem to remember that Sim Detail can play a role in this.  Right now it's on high.

Ok, so after playing around with my graphics settings;

the Cat is fine in-game.  On the loading screen, or in Create-A-Pet, it is deformed, as well as having its head deformed when it is the active sim.

I can live with that, it's just annoying.   Functionally, it just means that I can't change the coat colours.

However, if I get daring, I'll do a complete uninstall/reinstall tomorrow; since I did install Pets over a game that's patched to 1.33, so that could be the source of my problem.

Edit: After scouring the internet, I feel like an -idiot-.  I have a mod that may be the source of the problem  (it's the one that has the toddlers standing in CAS).  This is what I get for installing/playing while tired.  Wow.   So I'll see if a mod is the culprit. 

Edit #2 Yep.  I just did a test run without anything installed, and it works fine. *sigh* I got over-excited, thinking that since all my mods were patched up and everything ran fine. . .  .  It's my own stupid fault.  Now to make sure it's just the one mod in question.

What Graphics card do you have? I hate to be the barrier of bad news, but your graphics card is most likely not supported. That's the real culprit.

That's what I was afraid of, at first, but I found the culprit.  It was an offending mod that I'd forgotten to take out of my mods folder. 

So, you're not the bearer of bad news, I'm just an idiot; and didn't clear out all my mods before I tried running Pets.
