I feel this is THE BEST Sims 2 Expansion Packs! I liked Nightlife, but I felt
the Sims 2 Pets has a lot more creativity. You can really achieve a lot in this game.
Not only can your pets get jobs to earn more income for you, you are also making a family very happy
when you create a pet. I love also being able to meet other animals in the neighborhood. You can adopt strays
once you become friendly with them. It's a cool game. A MUST for any animal lovers, and Sims/Sims 2 fan!

Sims 2 Pets is an endearing expansion for the Sims franchise, but Mac users beware: although Aspyr has released a patch for the Windows platform to fix the game's many bugs, there is currently (4/6/07) no patch available for the Mac. Errors include taking a puppy or kitten to work if you're interacting with them when the carpool shows up, children floating when chatting with each other, and -- when your pets retire from a job -- your Sims are silently demoted in their career path.

Please release a Mac patch, Aspyr.

I own the PC sims 2 pets, and mac is exactly the same. I love dogs and cats, and in this game, Aspyr does a FANTASTIC job of graphics. In each sim household, there can be up to 6 dogs/cats or 10 sims and pets in a household together. There are many new objects and a new function: Create a Pet. In Create A Pet, you get to choose the breed of your dog or like building a sim, you can customize the tail, nose, eyes, ears, and body. You also get to choose markings like a white muzzle or spots or stripes. There are many different colors your dog and cat can be, and you also get to choose the personality of your pet.
To me, the best thing in the Sims Pets EP is puppies and kittens. They can breed! In each litter, there can be up to 4 puppies/kittens. It always varies from 1-4 babies. Like sim babies, you usually can't tell what they'll look like when older, but when they grow up, they'll be a cross between their two parents. I hope this helped- and for christmas this year, it is definitely worth putting on your wishlist.

I ordered it from Amazon, it was shipped late but when it finally got here it was really fun to play. I've personally waited for pets in the Sims 2 ever since it came out, and this adds a lot more than the Sims 1 Expansion pack Unleashed. It can get a little boring after a while, but it's a nice addition to the game.

But if you don't want pets and want new objects or decorations, this isn't the pack for you. There is minimal additions in that area, I think all of the new objects can only be used by the pets themselves.

The game altogether adds more to the Sims2

And I although I didn't have any problems installing them, the pets are way too time consuming. You can't have a dog and a child in the same family because they both take up so much of your attention. Another thing I didn't like about it was the fact that you can't control your pet. For example, I had an adopted pet, who wouldn't eat pet food, as a result of that, he was almost always starving.
This game is good if you like single families but anymore then that and it'll be very hard for you to keep up.

I just bought the Sims 2 Pets, and I've really enjoyed it. However, it has a lot of bugs. I've noticed a decrease in performance quality since I installed it. It's not anything super serious, but you can tell. I also had some trouble with Sims faces' being different if I altered a pet profile last in the create-a-new-family section. Weird. It also doesn't have as many new objects as I would like (new clothes, hairstyles, etc.), but the stuff that is new is pretty cool. It's also really fun to give your pets jobs. So overall, don't be scared to get the game, but also keep an eye out for a patch that will correct the problems. I haven't been able to find one yet.

I played the PC Version of the Sims 2 Pets at my friends house. The mac version is the same, and it is on my Xmas wishlist. In tS2 Pets, you can create pets of different sizes and breeds and put on layers of fur in various colors. My friend and I made dogs that looked just like our own dogs, and it was really fun. You can set the dog/cat's personality and don't have limited points. There is also new pet furniture and flooring and walls and windows and stuff, and Space stuff too. The one thing I didn't like was being unable to tell your pet directly what to do, but it is still ok because your sim can train and give your pet commands.

This game is SOOOOO much fun!! I love that you can create dogs and cats and all the different breeds. This is a great game if you love pets. I love it soooo much!

This game is truly amazing--especially in the behaviors of the people and the pets. Very lifelike! My only disappointment is the very limited selection of furniture and accessories to choose from to fill the houses. I would definitely recommend getting the stuff packs to supplement the game. There are sites online where you can download new objects, but I have had a lot of difficulty getting most of them to install into the game on my mac.

Pets is a great addition to the Sims 2 experience. You can adopt your pet or "make" your own. They need to be fed, given attention, love, etc. They learn tricks, play with other pets, bring in mice from the yard and destroy furniture if bored, just like the real world. Very fun!
