😉ĭoes your Sim have a hard time dinging a soul mate? Well look no further than your loyal pooch! Dogs in the Sims 3 Pets have the ability to go and “Fetch a Date” for their owners. Decided your one man band is no longer good enough? Take your pet to the Park or hang out outside your home and jam to the beats! If you head out to a public place, you can even play for tips! Maybe that Howl, Yowl or tap will give you some extra simoleons. Howl, Yowl & tap your Hooves! Pets will interact with Sims when playing instruments. This function has been added to the options menu when your Sim has a high enough Painting Skill. Sims who take on painting and decide on creating a portrait can now paint a portrait of their Pets. You can now use the phone or the friendship panel to invite over an entire household which will allow you to pick and choose which pets and Sims come over.
With the addition of Pets, the game now introduces a new way to invite over some guests. You can set the life span of Cats Dogs and Horses all separately, as well as the different life stages and how long (or short) you want them to be. Just like Sims received their own life span panels with the Generations patch, the Pets patch offers the same exact options for Pets.
