The Sims 2 is going to the dogs—and for that matter, to the cats, guinea pigs and birds too! The addition of a new friend is guaranteed to enrich the daily lives of your Sims! Not only will players have the opportunity to choose from a variety of existing breeds, and hot designer mixes, but theyll also be able to personally design their new friend with the Create-a-Pet feature. The ability to customize gives fans the opportunity to create their ideal pet by choosing their body shape, unique markings, even their pets personalities! With so many different animals to choose from, theres no telling what unpredictable experiences could occur! Players will also be able to teach their pet new tricks, take them for a romp in the park, outfit them with new pet accessories and even give them a job! As in real life, your Sims pet will require care and training. A neglected cat with an urge to scratch might claw up your new couch if you arent careful, and leaving your dog unattended near a freshly planted flower bed probably isnt wise!
