The Sims4Network

As fans of The Sims™ know, there has always been something missing from their virtual neighbourhoods … pets. In The Sims Unleashed, players can now add furry friends to their Sims’ families. An all new expanded neighbourhood featuring parks, pet stores, cafes and markets will give the Sims and their new pets a variety of places to sniff, explore and meet their new neighbours.

Pets

Visit a pet store and bring home a variety of creatures and accoutrements. Players will make a big splash with the addition of a lumbering Labrador or fickle feline to their Sim family. They can also buy a parrot, turtle, lizard or fish that are fun for the whole family but don't need to be house trained.

Bigger neighbourhoods and new social interactions

Thirty all-new residential and community lots featuring new homes, lush parks, a hip new café, cool shops and a farmer's market are available for Sims to explore. Now the Sims can walk their pooch in the park or bring their cat to a café and build their relationships with their neighbours through their adorable animals.

New characters

Your Sims can teach Fido where to go themselves or hire an efficient Pet Trainer to do all of the dirty work. Sims can also enter their kitties and canines in the local Pet show. The competition is "dog eat dog," as Sim pets try to impress the Pet Judges for prizes in obedience, tricks and good pet mood.

Five new careers

Send your Sims down five new career tracks with 50 new jobs. Enter the world of fashion, become a world famous chef, take care of the neighbourhood's pets as a veterinarian, teach others as an educator or run away and join the circus.

Gardening

Sims can now grow a variety of vegetables in their own garden plots using seeds purchased at the local garden store. Proper care of the garden will yield a crop that can be picked and stored in the new pantry. Hard-working families can now live off the land, or make a living by selling their homegrown vegetables at the market. Use your pets to help chase off the rabbits and gophers.

125 new objects

Redecorate your Sims' home for the new pet's arrival. The Sims Unleashed contains dozens of new objects for pets and people plus an all-new decorator set with a New Orleans French Quarter theme.
