The Sims have new friends - Pets! The Sims can share their lives with their new pets and add more fun to the Sims experience. Dogs, cats, caged animals, and more, your Sims share new friends to experience the precious moments of life.
"With so many different animals to choose from, you never know what unpredictable experiences might occur. Create a pet: choose from dozens of breeds of dogs and cats or customize features for a one-of-a-kind pet."
"You can even change the shape of your pet's body by choosing from specific colors and unique markings. Don't like the way they act? Change their personality - from smart and sweet to silly and sloppy - anyone can create their ideal pet friend in The Sims 2 Pets."
Your Sims can encourage and discipline pets, train them to shake, roll over, play dead, and more. Undisciplined animals can dig in the yard, scratch the couch, or knock over the trash. Fortunately, a little training can go a long way.
Create and control digital characters throughout your life, setting their life goals from popularity and romance to fortune and family - their stories are in your hands. Use special codes to share pet accessories to unlock, fur types, or brands with other players of The Sims 2 Pets.
Take your Sims and their pets to let off some steam in one of the nearby parks, or head to Central Town Park, a favorite among pet owners. While you're there, watch your pet play well with others while your Sim can meet new people and socialize with other animal lovers. Visit the nearby downtown, an ideal gathering place for Sims that evolves over time.
Once you've seen the latest styles and decided on a purchase, treat your pet to the latest clothing and accessories. From geek to chic and cool to casual, your Sim can customize their pet's appearance in one stop downtown.
