The Sinking Pet Glitch
Pcsimluver66:
I had the same problem and deleted the house as well as the hacks and am slowly in the process of putting them back in. I do not know which it was but, I got ticked and started the family all over again.
I must say that I also had a problem where I could not place a door or window and with that I deleted all of the hacks as well. The programs that they have out did not find the problem so other than doing as one site suggest and that was remove the hacks and put them in a different area and then input them back in the game one at a time which is totally time consuming when you have hundreds I just deleted and only put in ones that I totally trust now.
Good luck in your search for an answer for as stated I had to delete mine

Problem Solved!
I removed all my 200 behavior modification hacks, then split the folders in half repeatedly and put them back in the downloads folder and restarted the game until I found the file. It turned out to be one file, and of course it was the last folder (smile to myself). It didn't take terribly long to find it.
Squinge of Inseminator has done hundreds of fabulous hacks. I got the idea how to solve the problem from a sticky on his site where he lists the ones that conflict with Sims2 Pets (see below for conflicts).
Thanks everyone for your input.

For some reasons my dog, whenevre I am not controlling her, she stops moving and basically sinks into the ground. My sims can not interact with her and she does not move at all unless I control her too. This only happens on residential lots. When I went to a community lot there was not problem. I already tried uninstalling my hacks but that did not work. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreaciated. I am also attaching pictures of the problem so you can see what I am talking about.

I know that there was a problem with an old version of Squinge's community lot sleeping hack that caused this issue.
But recently I am seeing many complaints of this from people with absolutely no custom content. It appears to be a game-bug.

If your pet sinks into the ground try using the "maxmotives" cheat, that seems to pop them back out. Hope Maxis patches soon!

The only time my pets sink is if they want to use an object another pet is using. Instead of the "waving arms-stomping feet" thing, they just sink into the ground. I think maybe they might be missing an animation for "frustration" at not being able to use an "in use" object.
By the way, if you have four food dishes all filled, they will still sink into the floor next to the one food dish some other pet is using. Ditto with the pet beds. No matter how many you have, the pet will sink into the floor next to the occupied bed rather than bothering itself to find another empty pet bed.
Modders are aware the "pet ownership" code in the game is messed up. Give it a little bit, and someone will have a fix for this.

A friend of mine had the sinking pets scenario. He took out the hacks sit on floor to watch TV ,objects-floating-aspiration plus sleep on community lots and it was fixed.

I had the sinking phenom one day only. I took out the old community sleeping hack and I haven't seen it since. Squinge has since updated the hack to PETS compatibilty, which is now in my game, and, happily, I am not seeing the pet sink hole.
As you can see there are lots of possible causes and solutions. I know that from time to time the game (but most especially Pets EP) gets confused about the Z-axis position of things (distance from ground) - a foundation, stage, deck, swim in the pool, or anything that involves a change in elevation will start the bug. Some mods aggrivate this bug, some make it happen constantly; but in the final analysis it is a Maxis-made foobar-bug that will require a patch by Maxis/EA to fix completely.

Hi Squinge, Sorry for being a nuisance whilst you are busy but I just wonder if you know if one of your mods could possibly be causing the pets to sometimes sink into the ground. I have disabled the ones you said to disable but I don't want to get rid of them all as they are so useful. I only ever get my mods/hacks from you.
