This is where you are wrong. They recycled most animations for TS3 basegame, and will most likely do the same for pudding pets.
"Recycle" is the wrong word as TS3 animations work different that TS2 animations, they might have the original animations frames around but hey, so they did from The Sims that in case your forgot had 3D Sims in what was a 2D world.
Also ALL pet meshes have to be done from scratch as TS2 meshes are unsuitable, now lets add the texture work and the whole thing became a lot of extra work, just because you cannot see the forest because of the tree does not mean its not there, animations are part of the workload even if they have leftovers there are substantial technical work implementation that is what consumes more of development time this days.
My point stands, its too much work and they could wipe out 2 expansions by the time they finish with Pets, again that is pretty much how TS2 did Pets, Pets might be EP3 but I doubt its going to be EP2.

No, the animations are definitely recycled. You can tell, they are EXACTLY the same, even when doing so causes them not to line up anymore. You don't recognize Irritate.../Annoy as the generic "mean action" pose now, even though the sims no longer stand close enough to actually poke their victim in the nose?

Every now and then I catch a glimpse of something different, like more vigorous jaw movement for making out, and there's a new animation thrown in here and there, but otherwise it's all regurgitated stuff we've seen before. If TS2 animations work differently and can't be converted, then it's possible they worked from a different source, like the animation files saved in whatever format they were initially created in. Just as a guess.
