Aside from this, they get interactions with the Pets, some new clothes, and a couple Pet related LTRs. The Pets. There are four categories of Pets you can adopt or find. Dogs, Cats, Horses, and Small Animals are all offered in the game. Getting the large Pets requires only that you adopt them with a phone or computer. Small Pets need to be found in the wild by a Sim or Cat. Life and Death. Large Pets can breed, provided they know each other well enough. This will result in a Puppy, Kitten, or Foal. Pets will grow old and die, and can return as ghosts and playable ghosts. You can have ghost kittens using a similar method to making Ghost Babies requiring live female, ghost male.

If you have a Pet, and your Sim is actually friends with it, the pet may plea to the Grim Reaper for the Sims life. So, fido just might save your Sims from death if hes around when they die. Dogs. Dogs have a need for destruction. Even the most well behaved dog will want to tear something up once in a while. When they arent chewing on something hopefully appropriate they are able to sniff around until they find collectibles like gems and metals with the Dog hunting skill. Cats. Cats can collect small animals for your Sim with their version of the hunting skill. They get litter boxes to satisfy their potty needs indoors, but start to get miserable if they dont sink their claws into something. Thankfully, you can get them a scratching post. If not, the alternative is probably the couch. Horses. Horses are the most fully featured pet available. They offer a sick new way of making money in racing, but particularly breeding, training, and selling horses. Males and females can be offered at the new Equestrian Center for StudMare services. Studs even get paid. Along with this comes a new Riding skill for Sims, and the Racing and Jumping skills for Horses. While none of these are particularly exciting alone, it makes for a nice experience leveling your Sims Riding, taking care of horses and training them to be racing champions. Minor Pets. Pets adds several new categories of minor pet that can be found by Sims or caught with a Cat. Theyre quite valuable, but also make nice additions to the household. They are birds, lizards, rodents, turtles, and snakes. You can learn all about them and see lists and prices in the minor pets guide linked above. Befriending Wildlife. Sims can befriend wildlife, and even get better at doing so. You can see deer and Racoons, but the main targets to befriend will be the new wild horses. They are simply wild versions of the regular horses you can adopt, but theres some satisfaction in watching your Sim ride off on one to take it as their own. Unicorns. Unicorns are the new form of life in The Sims 3 Pets. They can bless and curse Sims and Pets alike, and cause plants to grow or die using their magical reserves. Theyre very powerful in that right, but all Unicorns come with level ten racing and jumping skills. They run super fast when mounted, to boot. Theyre ready to head to the track and win big, easily. That is, if your Sim can handle it. Learn about how to get Unicorns and more in our guide. Pet Lifetime Rewards. Just like Sims, Pets accumulate Lifetime Happiness points from being happy. They can spend them on LTRs, some of which are unique. Hit the link to learn about the various rewards for the two types horses and dogscats. And Of Course New Objects. There are new objects in most categories as youd expect. There are not very many new object types however. Cats get litter boxes, there are animal houses and horses get all the things a horse would need to be comfy and train for racing. Still, probably youll be satisfied with the new items, many of which have a country feel. All in all, this is a sturdy expansion pack but nothing yet can really compete with Ambitions for me. Thankfully, they dont have to. Jump to Top. Disclaimer This site is not endorsed by or affiliated with Electronic Arts, or its licensors. Trademarks are the property of their respective owners.
