Here’s their preview of the Pets Expansion!
Obviously, since this is a pets expansion, there will be some animal loving traits for our Sims! A few examples of some of the new traits for Sims are dog lover, cat lover, horse lover, animal lover. And these special traits unlock social interaction when talking to other Sims. So your animal lover Sims can chat about animals with other Sims. There isn’t an animal hater trait. Graham was very clear in this. Animals are innocent creatures, of course. And there will certainly not be something like animal abuse in the game, well there is neglecting the animals. If your pets do not take proper care of their pets, the social worker will come and take the animals way.

The more I hear the more I just don’t get the appeal of the Unicorns, they seems like an almost useless after thought. At least with Ghosts, Vampires, Mummys, Robots and invisible friends they can be a fun part of daily life in your city, but the Unicorns seem pointless! It can start fires and ‘bless’/’curse’ Sims whoop de bloomin’ woo…
I would have preferred another ‘Sim’ creature like a werewolf, maybe one that turned into a wolf (dog) once a month or something. At least I can see the gameplay in that… There were so many they could have done:
Werewolf – turns into a wolf (OK dog) once a month, in certain circumstances the can howl while still Sims, and be prone to chasing cars! LOL!
WerePets – A Sim who turns into one of the 3 main Pet types once a month, in certain circumstances the can exhibit traits of their animal while in Sim form!
Mermaids – Swim in the seas and lakes (over a certain size) and their tails change to legs when leaving the water.
Aliens – Come from UFO’s and can shape shift into a Sim (or Pet) and infiltrate families to spread their genes.
Centaurs – Half Sim half horse, stronger and faster than a normal sim with built in transport!
Giants – Twice the height of a normal Sim and stronger.
I can’t think of a single practical and fun reason for the Unicorns so they won’t be in any of my cities…
Colour me disappointed 🙁
“If your pets do not take proper care of their pets, the social worker will come and take the animals way.” Lol.
