The Sims 2: Pets

The Sims 2: Pets is the next part of the hugely popular, cult game – the Sims. This time, the developers from the Maxis studio decided to introduce to the game men's closest friends - pets. We can choose from many types – there are available not just the most popular pets like dogs and cats but there are also guinea pigs, aquarium fish, hamsters and birds.

We create the pet at the similarity of the human heroes of the game. We can decide on almost every element of the appearance of the animal we can even select its color and fur stripe (if someone wants to create a cat in a pink striped, nothing stands in the way). What is more, we there are available a number of ornamental gadgets such as collars and scarves to wear round the necks of our pets.

The expanded the possibility of decorating our pets does not mean that they only fulfill decorative needs. All animals in the game have the same rules as the other characters (read people). First of all, the players should be aware that our pet does not live forever. Similarly to other Sims, the animals must meet basic needs such as food and physiological. Moreover, there are specific requirements, for example, cats need something to sharpen claws. Each animal needs interest of the owners. It is obvious that fish or hamsters do not need some much attention (although they are able to absorb the attention of man for many hours), but cats and dogs need a lot more caressing, dressage, teaching tricks, etc.
