Riding Companion Dog by LittleMsSam / translation spanish - dokimtz
There is something quietly magical about a long horseback ride across the meadows of Chestnut Ridge, and it gets even better when a loyal dog bounds along beside you. The Riding Companion Dog by LittleMsSam / translation spanish - dokimtz add-on makes exactly that possible, letting your Sim share equestrian adventures with both a horse and a furry best friend. This Spanish translation of LittleMsSam's original mod keeps every feature intact while making the experience accessible to Spanish-speaking players.
What This Mod Actually Does
At its core, the mod adds a simple but delightful command: tell your dog to follow you while you ride. No complicated menus, no scripts to wrestle with. You issue the command, mount up, and off the three of you go. The dog trots alongside the horse, and the game quietly tracks the whole journey.
The add-on also respects your time and your household. You can release the dog or send it home whenever you like, and the mod handles the natural end points automatically. The dog stops following when your Sim dismounts, when the horse knocks you down, or when you return home. That means no stuck animations and no dog wandering the neighborhood for days.
Gameplay Features at a Glance
- Command a dog to follow your Sim during horseback rides.
- Release the dog or send it home at any moment.
- Automatic follow cancellation when you dismount, get knocked down, or arrive home.
- A hidden happiness buff for both Sim and dog when walking together.
- Motive boosts while riding: the horse gains Fun, Social, and Bladder; the dog gains Affection, Play, Bladder, and Gut.
- Increased friendship between the dog, the horse, and the accompanying Sim.
Compatibility and Supported Versions
This release works with modern The Sims 4 versions, including the 1.100+ patch line and the Horse Ranch expansion that introduced equestrian gameplay. Because it is an XML-based tuning mod rather than a script mod, it tends to survive game updates better than script-heavy alternatives, though a quick check after major patches is always wise.
The add-on plays nicely with two popular companion mods. It is compatible with Horse Riding Together, so a horse and a dog can follow your Sim simultaneously, and it works alongside Go For Walk Fills Needs, which means the dog's motives are affected by the outing just as you would expect. If you run a large mod folder, load order rarely matters here, but keeping XML Injector updated prevents most surprises.
For players who prefer a hands-off setup, the foxygame.net launcher can install Riding Companion Dog by LittleMsSam / translation spanish - dokimtz in a single click and then keep it current automatically, so a patch day never leaves you hunting for a fresh file.
Requirements Before You Install
There is one hard requirement: XML Injector. Without it, the interaction simply will not appear in your game. Install XML Injector first, confirm it loads, and only then add this mod to your folder.
How to Install
- Download XML Injector and place it in your Mods folder.
- Download Riding Companion Dog by LittleMsSam / translation spanish - dokimtz and extract the archive.
- Move the .package files into Documents > Electronic Arts > The Sims 4 > Mods.
- Delete the localthumbcache.package file so the game rebuilds its cache.
- Enable custom content and mods in Game Options, then restart The Sims 4.
If you want to download Riding Companion Dog by LittleMsSam / translation spanish - dokimtz for The Sims 4, grab it from the creator's CurseForge page and keep the folder structure intact. Deep nesting can stop the game from reading package files, so keep things tidy.
Known Issues Worth Knowing
No mod is flawless, and this one is honest about its quirks. Occasionally your Sim may "dismount without dismounting," losing the riding stance while still visually mounted. Saving before a ride is a sensible habit. The Intense Ride option can also cancel itself from time to time, and the dog may teleport slightly when you stop, which is a base game bug rather than a mod fault. Pausing and unpausing usually snaps everyone back into place.
None of these issues are game-breaking, and the payoff, a dog racing beside your horse through the countryside, is worth a little patience. Saddle up, whistle for your companion, and enjoy the ride.
