Ok, so i bought some collars for my dogs at a pet shop and went home, took the dog to the mirror to put the collars on the dogs and found out that the collars arent in my inventory. I have tried this with a couple of different families and its the same thing, for some reason the collars arent appearing in the inventory.
The only pre-pets hacks/mods i have in my game are the Hula and More and Crammyboys penis as i need these for contests, is it these that could be causing the problem? Now ive tried the hack conflict detection utility and before i installed pets i used the clean installer to make sure there were no lurking hacks in the folder.
Anyone have any ideas??

did you buy the right size collars? theres large and small

Yup, i even went back to the pet store and bought 5 large collars and 5 small ones, still nothing

Collars won't show up in inventory.
Go to a mirror and select change pets appearance.  Tab 2 there is for selecting the collar.

I knew that, but the collars arent in the inventory so when i go to the mirror there is nothing in Tab 2, it just says 'There is no collars in inventory'

odd, I haven't tried buying them in a store because I have christianlov's hack to buy them at home, you can get it at mts2 if you want to try it.


crammys penis and hula dance and more are fine in Pets

I might try that, thankyou. I dont want my dogs to run away and its bugging the heck out of me.

well they won't run away just because they don't have a collar, it's mostly so if they do run away you have a better chance of getting them back.

sorry, i meant i do not want them to run away while  they have no collars on.

It was also helpful to me. I have CL buy collars home and I was also wondering why I do not have any colars though when I try to buy new ones, some collars shows up with the mark of bought like in JM clothing tools. I didn't know about sending dogs to the mirror, it is very weird. In TS1 at least you send the Sim to place the collar on the dog. (liked more that way).

to put a collar on a dog all I did was - with a sim selected - click on the mirror and seleted "change appearence of" "dogsname"

the sim stood to the side and the dog walked up and stood in front of the sink/mirror (mirror was hanging on the wall above the bathroom sink) the change appearence screen popped up and I selected the collar, I clicked ok and that was it, the dog had the new collar on.

I tried that one and didn't work. Has the Sim to be the master? Or is it another conflict I'm having?

Mines still not working either, i might have to go through my mods/hacks again because obviously one of those is causing the problem.

no, the sim I did it with isn't the dogs master yet

Sorry to be late to this game, but if the animals are puppies or kittens, they cannot wear the collars.  They must be adults.

Just be sure you have enough floor space around the mirror for the pet to come to the Sims side to "place the collar". I just figured it out for the first time myself last night. I place a maxis mirror (my custom ones didn't seem to work) on an empty wall in an empty room, had my current sim click on the mirror and clicked "change appearance of pet", my sim called the cat over (stood to the left but not sure if that makes a big deal or not), and then the change appearance menu came up, and was able to put the collar on the cat and also changed his colour (was pretty ugly to begin with).

I'm having this same problem. I went downtown, bought the collars, got home, they didn't show. Went back downtown and it showed them as already purchased and in my dresser. I'm going to try removing all hacks and see if that fixes it.

You don't put the collars on with the dresser but with the mirror.

Yes, I realize this. What I'm saying is that downtown, they show as being purchased, just like when you purchase new clothes? But when you return home, go to the mirror to change pets appearance, right? The window comes to change colors, etc. but tells you that you don't have any collars,or if its a pet you already owned from cas, it only shows the collar you got in cas. You go back downtown and they still show as being purchased.

Then you may have purchased the wrong size color for the pet in the case of a dog...or the wrong type collar, a dog collar for a cat or cat collar for a dog.

I saw a bug report of this somewhere, collars not being properly added to the inventory/wardrobe of the family.  I will try to find it again and see if there was a explanation or solution.

It is possible that you have a conflicting mod/hack.  I would try disabling all the mods/hacks with Sims2Pack Clean Installer, and try to put the collar on the pet.  If it works you know there is a conflicting mod, if not, it points to a new bug.

Ive done that so many times!

I tried everything, buying every collar in every size, disabeling all CC, nothing works. I guess it was a bug. I havent tried it since i installed the patch so i may have to have another look.

*sighs* This is the exact problem I'm having right now.  I bought the collars for my little dogs (I bought two of both the small sized collars and the large sized ones, just in case) but when I go to the change appearance it acts like I never bought them.  All of my hacks/mods are up to date for Seasons, so I'm not sure if that's what causing the issue, but I'd think that it'd be fine -_-

Anyone ever figure out what the problem was?
