Mod: Rideable Dragons (requires Cottage Living)
Updated 5/24/26 to fix a UI bug.
Sul sul! I'm back with another animated skill mod: rideable dragons. This is a completely custom new animal for the Sims, complete with life stages (Child, Teen, Adult, Elder).
These dragons breathe fire, and until you train (or cheat) them not to, they will start fires on your lot autonomously. You can dye their scales using crystals, but be warned that this only lasts for a single life stage, after which they will return to the color they were born. I chose to not make them route like horses; instead, they stay in the same place. This is because the full grown dragons are very large, and having a giant fire hazard moving about the lot seemed like a bad idea. The dragons also get one of four preferred gifts: sweets, crystals, books, or simoleons.
There is an associated skill: Dragon Taming, which unlocks riding and new interactions. Child Sims will not be able to ride dragons, but they can still clean, feed, and take care of them just the same. To get started, buy and place a Dragon Egg from Buy Mode.

Thank you Jane. Really appreciate the time it took to make this mod and to keep it updated.

Hello I wanted to let you know that the dragon riding skill is causing an UI error. I love this mod and I appreciate what you do. Thank you!
Does this mod still work? I had it in my game and got better exceptions and MCC exceptions. I do really enjoy this mod and was hoping to keep playing with it
i havent used tis since the most recent update due to it causing ui problems is it possible to update it? its AMAZING!
This is absolutely INCREDIBLE 😍😍
Hii! This mod currently needs an update it’s messing up the ui on plants and animals for me!
please update this mod, it really suits in my medieval storyline... thank you for creating this mod.
for some reason, whenever i tell my sim to ride the dragon, she just lays down and goes to sleep
did you ever find a fix for this?
LOVE this mod!!! Only request, I would love to see more color options, pinks, yellows, white etc! This is awesome in my gameplay thankyou so much!
Is this one working now with the update?
will this be upated?
hello, first, thank you for this mod! I love it. It seems like it's broken atm ;( I'm not able to ride any dragons or really interact with them. I tried redownloading it, but it didn't seem to help.
Can I use this mod with Horse Ranch instead of Cottage Living
will there be more updates to the actual dragon cosmetics? this mod is incredible but id love to see what you could do to further their customization options!
Hi, I suspect this mod might not be fully compatible with BrazenLotus’s mods, though I’m not sure which specific one is causing the issue. Whenever I have this mod installed alongside BrazenLotus’s Crafting, Gameplay, and Livestock mods, I encounter a bug where the “Feed With” option appears on random items. When used individually, both mods work fine with no problems, but the issue only occurs when they’re installed together. I usually overlook minor compatibility conflicts, but I believe there might be a deeper underlying issue causing this.
OMG, you're a goddess! I've longed for an opportunity to build Pern, and now I can. Thank you!
i might be wrong but the eggs in my inventory were broken, i am assuming it might be the fairies patch?
Let me look into it! how were they broken? They didn't have interactions?
I've got a empty file.. How to open it ? Thanks
awesome mod!!
Do you intend to update this mod for the upcoming Nature Pack (since it'll include fairies)?
Holaa, first off, I'm very impressed with this mod! Also, I had a UI issue that caused the screen to be dim lit and, unable to play, with all of my mods including yours. Last exception was blaming UI cheats mod, which I isolated and found was not the problem. So I isolated this mod, and everything works, except I can't see the skill panel for my sim & with only this mod installed, I'm getting a last exception that includes: "Error: Unable to retrieve static data for skill with skill id" Oh, and when using MCComand to cheat max out the Taming skill, the Taming skill is listed twice. And you have to max out both that are listed in order for the game to register that its maxed out. And theeenn is when the skill panel doesn't show up at all.
Nope, I'm sorry I don't know what had happened, but after going through my mods folder and re-doing some somethings, I wasn't able to replicate the issue. My bad. All good!
perhaps u could make an alternative version that allows for the dragon to free-roam?? id gladly accept the fire risk XD plus once u train em to stop it should be fine haha, just seems a lil sad to have em not move about
Hey Guys so I downloaded it but can't fine the dragon egg? Could I please have some help!
It's in the build mode! Bit pricey but if you cheat in some money you can have it!!
Omg!!! I made a comment wondering how they were coming along and here they are! I could cry right now!
Hey, can I put adult dragons in sim inventory?
Hey, I wanted to know what the growth dynamics of the dragons are like, how long will I have to wait to be able to ride them. and another query, in several interactions it does not allow me to do anything, I get the sign that it cannot carry out that interaction
You need the animal shed/barn thing to interact, I just found that out myself
I love this. Will you be expanding this mod more? If so I have one idea if you haven’t thought of it already. Probably have but making the dragon burn stuff. Like asking it to and it’s food maybe
(Copy of my comment from curseforge) Cool mod, and I'm glad something like this exists. Some small criticisms though, the dragon looks a little strange with just two legs and wings. It kind of looks like its going to topple over if it leans forward too much. Giving it front legs would make it look like a more like a traditional dragon* and make it look a little less wonky. *Flying reptiles with 2 legs and wings is a wyvern, 4 legs and wings is the typical depiction of a western dragon,
Hi! I absolutely love your mods. LOVVEE this one for my occult save file however I'm running into an issue when I have it installed in game the skill section's UI does not show up and when I travel, I lose the ability to see my sims buff. I've tested it with and without your mod.
wonderful mod! my current dragon is still Baby (which is fine, it's only been about 2 sim-weeks I think) and sometimes it gets a Big Stretchy going and the model goes noodly-big. a bit like Baby!Dragon is stretching to show what Adult!Dragon will look like, I guess? really looking forward to getting to fly around on it!
This is perfect for my HTTYD save!!!!
What's the difference between the public and patreon version? I have both. and When will it be updated?
The public version is the most recent/updated one :)
Hm, when do the dragons grow up? With me they somehow remain children?
They take a really long time to age up. How long has your dragon been a baby?
Hi dragons do not spawn
Hi! They don't spawn. To get a dragon you need to purchase an egg and hatch it. :)
We're getting closer and closer to a fully workable The Sims Makin' Magic for TS4!
could we one day breed dragons? Love this mod
Gosh wow! Sense of wonder!
Fantastic work! Keep pushing forward! 🌟💪
would it be possible to release a version where they can roam around , for those of us who like chaos ^^ thank you for this amazing mod 💕
You're just amazing <3
THANK YOU this is amazing!!
Man, I just stumbled into this mod today and I am having fun with these flying blow torches! I laughed about the fire, I really did. This has been a great mod addition to my fantasy save. Also, holy wow, you have So MANY mods that would work great in my fantasy save!
OMG can't believe how talented you are. It's a bless for us.
