 The Sims 2 Pets October 19, 2006

Yesterday, I purchased this game and waited for what seemed like an eternity at work for me to play it.
When I got home, I loaded The Sims 2 Pets, and lemme just say, it's really awesome.
The breed variety for dogs or cats isn't so big, or 'wide', as they put on the box, however. I was hoping they'd have a West Highland Terrier but they didn't, so I had to make one.
Making your own dog or cat is really nifty, though. You can pick the size of your pet, how much coat is on it, whether or not its a fat pet and different markings and colors.
The other pets, like parrots and hamsters, are also a nice little addition. In real-life, I have an African Grey Parrot, and I was thrilled to know they had this breed as one of the parrots you can choose from!
The pets do have a mind of their own--you can't even tell them to "Go Here" like you could in The Sims Unleashed. They are only selectable because you can view their needs.
Gameplay is excellent, nothing wrong with that whatsoever.
Nevertheless, this expansion is really worth buying; I got it at Target for $25, and its full of surprises!
Terrific!! October 20, 2006

Awesome expansion. I got mine yesterday in the mail (pre-ordered here at Amazon) and played it all afternoon.
This expansion not only gives you pets, but also includes a huge variety of new items for your household..new furniture pieces, new decor, etc. It also gives you a few new interaction options that weren't available before. With this, when your Sim calls a friend, now you can not only invite the friend over to your house, but also your friend's entire household over with ONE telephone call! How cool is that?!!
The pet accessories are pretty cool, too. There are different styles of pet beds, toys, etc to provide everything your pet needs while at the same time not clashing with your decor.
You can also open up neighborhood pet shops!! I don't know if it requires Open For Business (which I have) or not in order to do that, but I'm already working on my first pet store.
This expansion is going to provide loads of fun while waiting for the next one (All Four Seasons) that's coming out early next year in 2007.
Pets is definitely worth the money to get!!
Great add-on for your Sims 2 experience December 20, 2006

This game is great. But in more detail, the thing I like most is the unlimited possibilities in creating pets. Yes, you can only create cats and dogs, but still, you can make it as cute or as ugly as you desire. There are many breeds to choose from if you don't feel like creating one yourself, but you can still choose a breed and edit it. As the gameplay goes, there are many random happenings. One is the random occurences of pets. They don't come right into your house, but if you leave anything valuable outside, say goodbye. There is one really bad dog named Webster in Pleasantview, and man, he makes me wish this game let you have some sort of weapon. But still, it makes it fun to see neighboring dogs to come up and visit. As for new features, you have alot of new technological devices, such as futuristic phones and floors. Another feature is you can call a person and invite the whole household over. A nitpick feature, but it still adds to gameplay. You can also have small pets such as gerbils or birds. You don't have to go to the store to buy these animals, but you rather just go to buy mode and choose the cage and the animal comes with it, with a price. There has been numerous complaints of this game slowing down your computer, but in my case, there hasn't been a problem. I have noticed a couple more lagging moments, but nothing too annoying. Overall, this game adds great depth and alot more random fun to the Sims 2 experience.
Well worth it! November 6, 2006

My boyfriend got me the expansion for an early birthday surprise and I was thrilled. I'm a big Sims fan and I just love animals so it was a perfect gift. I found customizing the pets fun and easy, though I'm a bit upset that you can't change nose and paw pad colors - My cats are black and gray and both have matching nose and paw pads, but in the Sims 2 Pets they are stuck with pink noses and pads. The tabby striping could have more options too, but again I'm being picky. The selection of breeds, both cats and dogs, is impressive and I like the fact each cat breed is distinct. There could be more pet options like owning turtles, lizards, snakes, frogs, and mice, but the expansion is well done and well worth getting even without those added pets. The careers for your pets are fun and training your pets can be quite amusing. Overall, it is a great expansion to a great game.
A Pleasant and Touching Surprise October 23, 2006

I expected the Pets in the new Sims expansion to be fun, and I wasn't disappointed. The surprise is how many new objects and decor items there are. There are a lot new walls and floors that aren't too theme-specific, and will add a lot of good new looks to building new houses. The ability to used partial floor tiles in the floor grids to make patterns is a cool bonus. They even have carpet strips to put between carpeted and tiled floors for an even more realistic look. There are a lot of great furnishings too.
This game is really touching to me because I have been able to make Sim versions of all the beloved pets that I have had through the years. My son and I laughed hysterically at the photo portraits of the cats in the game; they are totally unphotogenic!
I have been disappointed with the Stuff Packs because of the lack of "stuff" in them; not a good value. However, the Pets expansion pack is a GREAT value all around, and I highly recommend it.
