SimCookie has spent the last two days writing an awesome and insightful review of the Pets Expansion Pack. Lots of new pics and info.
With this new tool to EA offers three types of animals, horse, dog and cat. You can have up to eight animals per family and two sims knowing that the limit is ten. Personalization animals really was reworked, it is possible to customize each body part of your pet by using layers as in the Sims 2.
It’s awesome that dogs and cats can drink from the toilet!!! It just makes everything complete š
I also loved that feature in which cats can sleep on any furniture…well done EA
Theblackscorpion,
The town looks really nice, but I’m already disappointed when it comes to a few things. For one thing, much like in Bridgeport, the City Hall, Military Base, and Police Station, are all in the same building. I was hoping for a separate police station, because I was really hoping for a western looking one, and towns don’t look right to me without them. I could place another police station somewhere if I use that building, but I found out that having more than one of the same rabbit hole, (at least the ones where you can work full time) can cause problems, if you don’t have more than one person working at both of them at the same time. I’m also a bit disappointed that the Dog Park and Cat Jungles do not have there own symbol, instead of the one for a regular park. Off course they could change that between now and when Pets is released, and I hope they do. The park map tag is the same one they use for “Visitors allowed” and “no visitors allowed lots,” so it often dominates my maps. Also since some people will design radically different dog parks and cat Jungles, I would like to be able to easily tell where they are located.
Theblackscorpion,
Thanks, I know its still in its “Alpha” so to speak, so I’m hoping they do change it.
Theblackscorpion,
Well, I didn’t post anything on Twitter, but I did start a thread on this over at the Sims 3 Forum, and linked to your blog post here.
Here’s a link to the forum thread I started if anyone else here is concerned.

Nice :O
remember, Pets is still in Alpha. Graham has said that there is still a lot more that they are adding to the final version of the game. feel free to mention this on his twitter, as he’s in change of the production of this new town/world. @simgurugraham well they fixed the multi-rabbit hole issues since Late Night for most Simmers. I have a feeling that there will not be a repeat. Call it Simmers Intuition. š
To me, it makes more sense for a small town hall to include a police station than a big city one. By the way what is the second option with the hospital?
Hospital/Science Facility. Looks like it’ll be the same as the school, with two doors, one for science and one for health.
Theblackscorpion,
Well, multiple rabbit hole combo buildings can save space, so they’re not all bad.
