Here are the baby dragons from the Sims 3 Store converted for use in the Sims 2. They are based on the birds that came with Pets. I also converted the bird cage from Sims 3, as I thought it looked much nicer with the dragons.
The download contains six recolours for the cage, plus my base one:
The dragons come in the same four forms as the originals did: green/red/violet and armoured black dragon:
They work just like the birds do; your sims can teach them to talk and will learn Charisma and they will have to feed them/clean the cage regularly. The cage does not have a visible dirty state however (I just could not imagine what dragon droppings would look like ^^;).
I also included a clone of the pet food box, so dragons will receive their own brand of food. I tried to stick close to the original recolours.
There are two different versions of this download:
1) consists of a single file that contains the dragons, the cage, food box and all recolours. You will want this for game play. I'm sorry for the inconvenience, but it seems the files won't package correctly. The download now contains the files also as singles, but with the edited dragon mesh. If you have already downloaded this, please redownload.
2) contains all files seperately. If you want to make recolours of the dragon/cage you should probably download this one.
Please note: The dragon file in this download is unedited, i.e. has the original unaltered wings. So you might prefer not using this version for game play.
DOWNLOAD Version 1.DOWNLOAD Version 2. Known Issues: Since the build of the dragons' wings is different than that of the birds in Sims 2 the animation is unfortunately far from perfect. I tried to minimise the issues, but I am not good enough with bone assignments to really achieve a great result. If you have the skills you are very welcome to try and fix them. I would really appreciate to hear from you in that case, so I can put up a link here and let everybody know. :)
