You can’t examine your own pets, even if you have a clinic (why I had to build one). Mainly the “poorer” versions of what a good vet clinic would have. So… I bought the vet gadgets I could for use at home. Although you could probably buy a vet clinic without the training, I wouldn’t want to send MY pet to such a clinic! There are no skill books for vet training, just good old fashioned hands on experience. All the motherlodes in the world couldn’t get me ready to be a vet. A few motherlodes insured I could get not only a bigger house but also a vet clinic. Then you can zoom in like a Sim and tweak things like ears, color, coloring tail, etc.Īfter I created my family, I moved them into the neighborhood. They have several breeds listed that you can choose from. There are many options to building your pet. You may want to keep that in mind when making your dog. The only thing I did find is that the pets are a little smaller sized so that a greyhound is more a medium sized dog in game, but meant to be a large animal. You can use the built-in sliders to get the pet just right. Building a pet is actually a really fun thing to do, as they are like building Sims really. I started by creating a brand new family, because I wanted to see what options there were in CAS. You will not be able to control them, which may be hard for some, but believe me when I say it adds to the gameplay not to be able to do so. This expansion only offers cats and dogs this time around.

We’re going to start off with the gameplay. Not to worry, I checked there are pets in other worlds as well. (One more than shown here, but I just HAD to build a vet clinic.) It’s a quaint world with loads of trees and places to take your pet. The new world is called Brindleton Bay and comes with a few empty lots. I was pleasantly surprised by the way the dogs and cats act and live, because it was just like having my own dog in the game. The gameplay itself is packed with loads of brand new interactions involving your pets with that good old EA humor. The Sims 4: Cats and Dogs new world itself looks like a coastal New England town in the US. EA has given us a brand new world to play with, and it’s the prettiest by far, in my opinion.
