Sadly, you can’t become a vet like a normal job or like the careers from Get to Work. Sims can also devote their whole lives to pet love by becoming a vet. Both of these give Sims boosted interactions with animals and make furry friendships all the easier. They can also have pet-related aspirations. You can instill a love of pets in your sims with the new cat or dog lover traits.

They also like to wander around with droopy faces and clear health issues-which often tugs the heartstrings, especially in pet lovers like me and my sim. Just like with sims themselves, the happy surprises stemming from their quirks and underlying personalities are half the fun. Not only in their traits, which are also customizable, but in their little behaviors. My sim was overrun by animals by the end of my playthrough (like one guy, 7 pets kinda moment) and every single one of them was different. Have you always wanted a dog wearing a hot dog suit with a taco hat? Go live your weird dream.Īnd the pet’s personalities live up to their varied breeds, coats, looks, and clothing options. Do you want a bright pink cat with its name written on its fur sporting the latest fashions? 100% doable. This doesn’t even begin to touch on all the fur customization (both realistic and not), animal clothing and accessories, and create-a-pet features that exist.ĭo you want the spitting image of your real-life pet? I bet it’s possible. You can also mix breeds, make custom breeds, and customize already existing breeds to your heart’s content. The new career allows you to match up the right medicine for sick pets, provide surgeries to pets through a “surgery machine” and other fun mini games.With over 170 breeds to choose from, every pet is radically different. The new veterinarian job also gives your sims new things to do.

Other minor glitches that sometimes occur in the game including dogs with a strong “fear” personality being afraid of absolutely everything in the home, and animals panicking in the vet and never calming down. Without a clear need bar, it can quickly become tedious to follow the pet around and attempt to balance care. Although pets have needs much like real pets, the only way to find out what the pet needs is essentially to go up and ask it. This leads to a minor problem in game play. Pets can’t be micromanaged like Sims can, but they do respond as a typical pet might to basic care. The new neighborhood has dog parks to take your pet to, a new career option for your sims (veterinarian) and allows you to interact with your pet in different ways.

The expansion adds a new neighborhood to the Sims world, “Brindleton Bay.” This neighborhood is pet central, with plenty of opportunities for your Sims to interact with their pets.
