    Um, UNICORNS?!?!?!? So freakin excited now!

  2. Bindy Reply

    Also, I’m hoping there’s more cat/dog breeds than that – what happened to the 100+ breeds?

  3. Simmer Reply

    This looks great but the horse breeds I’d be severely disappointed if that’s it..Man I hope you can at least customize close to every inch of the horse because the premade ones sound lame.

  4. Kiwi_tea Reply

    theblackscorpion, I would remove that file ASAP. Although we can discuss it’s content now that we know it, it’s possibly not legal to share the file itself, and it’s contents are currently the subject of an non-disclosure agreement so spreading it around will be a big headache for EA staff who have to pretend we don’t know any of this for weeks, if not months, yet.

    Keep this post. Delete the file. Tell people they can find it in the game if they own it.

    Also, you should include a disclaimer that all this information is part of an EP currently in development, so all of it is subject to change (even if large changes to it are unlikely).

    Loving the rodents, I think this will be the best pets game to far 😀

    Yeah, I suspect those are lifetime wishes too.

    Interesting! Unicorn is something that is not expected to perhaps some of us. I think it sounds fascinating. The rest of others look good and exciting.

  10. Kelvin Reply

    I have placed the trait descriptions on Sims Nieuws forum

  11. Laquisha Reply

    Interesting but I really hope they will make dog exhibitions and competitions! I loved it in Pets Stories 🙁

  12. Karen Reply

    I want to know the ways to adopt a pet. Will there be a community lot that we can go look and buy them?

  13. Laquisha Reply

    @Karen I think there is a community lot but only in the Limited edition. So I guess the other way is to adopt by phone or make them ourselves. Idk

  14. theblackscorpion Reply

    There is way more info in that text file than listed above. Every thing from the traits, breeds, commands a sim can give a pet and new interactions. One new interaction is ‘Harass Death’. Sounds like we can command a pet to annoy the Grim Reaper. So cool.
    There are also books that Sims can read to learn the riding skill! Riding Vol. 1: Zen and the Art of Not Falling Off a Horse. Vol 1-3.

    it’s cool that you’re excited, but please don’t post game code. Pets is still under development and EA probably already has NDAs in place. This is why i removed the link to the file. Nobody wants to be sued.

  17. Moonseeker23 Reply

    “jockeys, zoologists, animal rescuers, fairy tale finders, ark builders”

    Sounds more like Lifetime Wishes to me.

  18. ShortyBoo Reply

    I’m glad that there’s quite a variety on other pets, but what I’m wondering is how could they not have a ferret as a pet choice?

    I certainly hope there are more breeds for the animals. I really hope they add more breeds for the cats and horses and there are some popular dog breeds missing as well. I hope they’ll add Chihuahua, Pomeranian, Rottweiler and Corgi breeds at least.

  19. Chihuahua? Reply

    Dog breeds: Chihuahua? :(((((((((((((((

  20. Captain THPS4 Reply

    Wow, that’s a pretty big leak for EA. Good to see deer are still in. I’m pleased with the variety of small pets too. Crows? Falcons? Hedgehogs? Heck yeah!!

    Pets can’t be taken on vacation? AW MAN. Three games in and we still can’t do that lol

    Ice cream trucks in Pets? Didn’t see that one coming. I expected that to be either a store item or part of a seasons EP. I guess anything can change, I doubt the game has gone gold this early.

  21. Laquisha Reply

    Don’t worry they save them for the store I’m 100 % sure.

  22. Damienf519 Reply

    I’m disappointed that there won’t be werewolves in this expansion pack, but unicorns might still be fun. Their magic powers might be useful.

  23. MATZ Reply

    SOUNDS GOOD, but i REALLY REALLY WANTED WEREWOLVES… idk about the unicorn, hows that gonna work :L hmm..

  24. Maddy Reply

    I have NO idea how to get to the file thing on my computer. I have a Mac so it’s difficult to find the stupid thing :/ do you think you can post up some more info on the file? Stuff you didn’t mention yet? Please and thank you!! 🙂

  25. lolifofo Reply

    Unicorn!!!!!!! OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!! so cool!

  26. Maybe Reply

    I think that werewolves can be in exapnsion about magic and etc. pack if EA will create this ep.

    UNICORNS!!! YAY!!! I’m super excited about the Unicorns! But I did kind of want werewolves to go along with our vamps.

    Maybe,

    Werewolves might also fit in a Seasons or agricultural expansion pack.

  30. Damienf519 Reply

    By the way, I still want to know what those Cat Jungles will. I think I know what a horse ranch and a dog park are, but I’m still do not know what the new Cat Jungle venue will be.

  31. Lilyturtle Reply

    I’m so excited for turtles. 🙂
    I have a turtle myself and was bummed when there wasn’t turtles in sims 2, glad there will be some in sims 3. I just hope that they make more turtle types. Ornate Box Turtles, please?

  32. Clubers Reply

    By can’t be placed on vacation lots, I think they mean that we can’t go home without our pets.

  33. Schmitti Reply

    SETTER… Ahh… so cool… they are so sweet… 😀

  34. Karen Reply

    I also hope there’s yorkies and chihuahua’s in this EP!

  35. lunarhowl Reply

    Mehh, unicorns…out of all the myths and fairy tails they had to pick unicorns?!? *sigh* at least it can set things on fire, a ‘pyromanic’ creature is bound to be amusing, heh. ^_^ I at least hope it won’t always be white and sparkly…maybe we can make it’s coat black or brown or something to make it less of a *sparkle” creature, haha! Oh wells, pets are pets, still worth buying! ‘~’

    It doesn’t mean that because we had werewolves in TS2 , we are gonna have them in TS3. They are 2 different games..

  38. Vanessa Reply

    Wow! I never expected rats, shrews, hedgehogs, different bird species,etc ! I really hope these animals can be found around town and interacted with rather than brought in buy mode and kept in a cage at home. This ep never appealed to me until now, in fact I haven’t played the sims 3 in years. I’m kinda excited! Also looking forward to horses and foals!

    Yeah, but still… everyone knew that it was going to be a unicorn or a wolf, but i really would rather the wolf, a unicorn is just a horse, pretty much anouther type of a horse but with powers and a horn… wow… wolves are way cooler and better and they are ACTUALLY SIMS.

    Interesting!: “derived from the Malay Singapura (Sanskrit सिंहपुर Lion City), thus the customary reference to the nation as the Lion City.” (from the link you posted)
    From this to city to cat breed. I want one of these cats in my game now.

    I love every bit of this info, esp about the wild animals, unicorns, and other pets! But there HAS to be more cat and dog breeds, they have said over 100 cat/dog breeds in every interview, so the ones up there aren’t all! Hopefully they have beagles!! That’s the kind of dog I have! 😀

    Are you aware that Piano’s have been in the game files since around base game, yet they were not in the game until recently? Dance skill files were also in there from Ambitions but there were no dance skills in the game at that time.

    Sometimes EA sticks files in as placeholders, so many of these things may not be in the next EP and could belong to one or two EP’s down the line.

    None of this is confirmed. They are just game files at the moment.

    Some things look like they should be in a magic EP to me, which could mean that the next EP may be a magic one. Nothing is certain till the discs are printed.

  54. Kiwi_tea Reply

    The piano and dance files weren’t text in the STBL, which is where this has come from. It’s a slightly different situation. ^_^

  55. LDC Reply

    every time I read through some of the stuff in the STBL it makes my eyes hurt. There is sooo much info in there. But it makes me even more excited for pets than I already am. 🙂

    male pregnancy has also been in the game code since the base game. this will come in handy when Aliens return.

    Assuming EA brings them back. it may just be there in case they want to bring them back.

    The Unicorn will be a part from Pets, because if there will be an EP with Magic, the Unicorn would be avalabile only if you have Pets.
    Or this, or Pets and that Magic EP, togheter, to have the Unicorn.

    I’m a big fan of the cats, I wish there will be more breeds for cats.

    There is a posibility of Werewolves in Pets.

    We will wait and see.
    I pre-order it, and now I wait…. But this waiting makes me to want it more.
