The Sims 2 Pets Expansion Pack Reviews
Happy Simming. If you love your Sims 2 game and you love pets, you'll love having this expansion pack to further your gameplay fun. Plus there are more build items to increase your build mode options.
The most maddening thing is the tendency for roaming dogs to enter a lot and destroy flowerbeds or dig holes. I didn't run out to grab The Pets Expansion Pack for The Sims 2 as I did with other expansions. Dogs and cats have relationship scores with the people they know, as well as other animals. Like human sims, you can create your own dog or cat sims, or use the pre-existing ones that are installed in the game.
But I have many pets myself, so it was only a matter of time before I broke down and bought it. Pets can also be put to work, earning a limited living based on what they've learned. Other than that, it just didn't turn out to be a must-have addition to my digital families. A hole in my front yard torpedoed my top score in that mini-game more than once. I still had bad memories of The Sims Unleashed Expansion Pack for the original game, The Sims. This was much better. Once set, those traits don't change, but there are other pet tendencies and learned behaviors that you can influence with training like tricks/commands, whether or not they destroy furniture, sleep in your bed or on chairs, greet strangers with a snarl or a wagging tail, or if they do their business in the right place or not.
Someone should create a custom no dogs allowed sign that actually works to keep critters from wreaking havoc in the flower beds. Instead, you have to interrupt a sim to correct whatever the pet is doing that you don't want them to. They will react based on simple personality traits and past relationships to other sims in the game.
If you have The Sims 2 Seasons Expansion installed like I do, and are trying to get into the garden club, you might want to set another sim as a lookout for stray dogs during the inspection. But you cannot control pets without using cheats or hacks. The neighbors' dogs destroying my sim's yard was a little too much like reality though.
The special sim type in Pets is the Werewolf, who unlike regular dogs can go after the burglar. If someone you know is just loopy over all things pet related, this will still appeal to them, but for me it became more of something to complete my collection and round out my sims' pixellated lives. I have only three families in the neighborhood I play with pets.
You can't control your Pets and if you have even a medium sized family - such as husband, wife, one or two kids - having to feed the pet, wash the pet (if you have a dog), play with the pet, teach the pet tricks, etc gets to be a bit much. Unfortunately it has been a huge disappointment - it isn't much fun at all. I've had a few womrats die on me too. I bought the Pets expansion pack in December of last year and I was really excited to try it out. I'm not so great at taking care of the birds though, because I've had so many of them die on me when I forget to have someone feed them. They're cute, that's about it. Besides cats and dogs, you can also buy a bird cage and put an exotic bird in it. The one thing I do like about having a pet is you can get them a job and they can bring in decent money.
Otherwise I really don't feel that Pets adds enough to the game to justity buying it - save your RAM for something fun like Seasons or Nightlife. I recommend this expansion pack to animal lovers who would enjoy adding a dog or a cat to their game. When the cats or dogs die the Grim Reaper comes for them just like he does when a Sim dies - I can't say I've been sad to see any of my Pets go. I find that my families inadvertantly ignore thier animals because there are more immediate things to do, like build skills for work or network to make more friends or help the kids with their homework. You can also buy a womrat, which looks alot like a ferret - womrats don't really do much and you don't gain anything by having one. Some pet jobs make $800+ simoleans per day, which is a nice chunk of change to add to the family funds. You can teach the birds to talk, which also fills your Sims' social meter and builds the charisma skill.
Sims 2 Pets is my favorite expansion for Sims 2. NO MORE LAZY CATS. Tons of different breads, create your own dog or cat just like you would create your sim. Teach your pet tricks and talents.
Adopt a pet, a dog, Cat, Fish and more. a Definite 10 out 10. Pets need love too, so got out and get Sims 2 Pets Today. Custmize their collars, fur, eyes and more.
You won't regret it. If you have a dog or a cat you can get them a job and send them out to work for you.
they should have more animals other than dogs cats birds womrats, i was thinkin bunnies and on the offical website every1 else agrees.but its still fun kinda disapointment i was kinda disapointed but its still fun, kinda hard to mange ur animals but still fun, but.
