  overall, this mod gets an upvote from me, though there are some downsides. however, some old downvotes critique things which have been solved.

  things which have been fixed:

  • you can disable the syringe (disable_syringe = true in user.conf)

  • you can disable specific mobs you might think are inappropriate in user.conf, e.g. killer santas, by editing the petz_list setting in user.conf

  • the mod can be used reliably. it doesn't have any serious conflicts w/ other mods, though there are a few aesthetic conflicts

  pluses:

  • mod is actively maintained

  • the tamed mobs are much more reliable than mods_redo

  • there's quite a lot of variety, and new content gets added all the time

  • there's a number of different mechanics that players enjoy engaging with

  • people like taming and keeping petz

  • people like keeping beehives

  • werewolves are fun

  • playing fetch is fun

  • some things are easy, and some are difficult but rewarding

  ambivalent, but notable:

  • the petz are "cute", but have quite basic models/textures

  minuses

  • has its own custom system for settings

  • some questionable choices of which things not related to "pets" should be included
