The Sims: Unleashed brings the neighborhood to life with animals—dogs, cats, parrots, lizards, turtles, and other companions that each come with their own demands and rewards. Train a puppy at home or bring in a Pet Trainer to handle the hard parts. Enter the local Pet Show to compete on obedience, temperament, and learned tricks. A walk in the park becomes a social event: pets attract other pet-owning neighbors and open up relationships that wouldn't happen otherwise. For Sims who prefer lower-maintenance company, smaller animals like birds and reptiles require far less daily attention but provide just as much personality.
