Good Game! 
2008-07-15
I loved this game, but I had to install superstar, because the disc one was copy written. Illegal!
Really great. 2007-06-18
My brother used to have this game, so I got to play it- and let me tell ya, it's amazing.
A lot of people complain that The Sims did not have enough things to do, furniture, ect. Well this will fix that. There are new skins, furniture, wallpapers, floor tiles, and of course, pets.
You can train your dogs or cats to win shows or just entertain you. Dogs will water the garden, scare off raccons and fetch the paper while cats hunt mice, cockroaches, gophers and rabbits- and they look darn cute doing it! Or maybe you'd prefer an easier pet to take care of, such as birds, a turtle, a hamster or an iguana.
Dogs and cats can also have babies. When it grows up, you can either keep it as a new pet or sell it for a reasonable profit. Because of this it is even possible to breed cats and dogs to sell their babies for easy money.
If pets are not enough for you, this expansion lets your sims take up gardening. They care for a garden and when their crops are harvested you can either store it in a pantry for your sims to eat or go to Old Town and sell it.
that's another thing, Old Town.
In Old Town you can buy your pets. You can also buy pet treats, toys, seeds to plant crops, snacks, and a variety of trinkets for your home. And Old Town is not just for buying things! you can take the whole family out to play in the park or bring a single sim to meet others. And you can build these lots too.
Another neat feature is that you can now build houses without moving into them, just in case you feel like building but not making a whole new family. I love this because it means I can build a house for my sims to live in later.
This is a great game, but be careful not to spend too much time on it. Believe me, times goes fast when you're playing The Sims.
Unleash the SIMS 
2007-01-15
First this is not - NOT - a full SIM game. It is an expansion pack that adds on to an existent SIM game.
We are very pleased with this expansion pack and the price was very low.
We gave it a 4 because of the lack of walls and furnishings needed to properly house and care for the critters.
This was purchased for my daughter to use with her SIMS - 1st Edition+Making Magic. The install was easy but requires your main SIM discs and the usual disc swapping. We have had no running errors or hangs etc so far.
The animals are well thought out, fun, well stocked with options and great fun. Did I mention they are fun? They are fun! And cute.
The only problems after a month of almost daily use is the lack of build support ie no screen walls or glass walls and indoor trees for aviaries and the like and not enough exotics like Komodo dragons, Tegus, snakes, dwarf ponies, pot belly pigs, frogs etc.
The cats are better behaved than ours and when they do eat the Budgie - and they do! - there is that ever ready SIM pixel blur to cover the gore.
We limit our daughter to no more than 1 hour of game time a day and not every day. So far she has not played any other games since this arrived via S. Clause.
Not fun or realistic 
2006-10-15
I was so excited to get this game as I love pets in real life...
However, it was totally UNREALISTIC - the pets are BORING PLUS!!!
Firstly, they don't try to sit on your lap or try to sleep on the beds. That would have been so cool because lots of people allow dogs on their beds and at the very least REAL DOGS AND CATS DO TRY TO SLEEP ON BEDS OR IN LAPS...
and
What are the pets doing going to the shops with you?????? They should stay home and wreck the place like real puppies.
Oh and WHY does EVERY member of the family have to go to the shops every time??? In real life that doesn't happen...
And what is the story with the cr*p you can buy at the shops "Mask of Rage" etc Waste your money on cr*p that goes on the grass and cannot be moved after you get home...
If the animals were more jumpy, excitable and real it would have been worth the money I paid for it - that's all I wanted... But didn't get it
>:(
Lot's Of Fun! 2006-08-21
I played this game with one of my friends and I loved it. First you choose a house (after you've already built some). Next, you design your family. You can make adults and children, name them, choose what they wear, and design their personality. (You can also "make" children after you are done designing your family, but you have to make sure they love each other and they really want to do it). Then, you design the inside of your house. Wallpaper, paint, floors, walls, appliances, furniture, games are some things you pick out. Next, hit the play button, and your'e started. You can check a Sim's mood and needs by clicking the button that says mood, it tells these things:
hunger
comfort
energy
space
bladder
mood.
You need to call a trolley to go places and you can call a maid if cleaning is too much work for you. There is also a cheat to get money but I won't tell you that. Well I don't wanna tell you too much and spoil your fun. But there is one more thing I have to tell you. If you buy pets BEWARE! Make absoulute certain that you take care of them or they will die. But that's not the scary part. If they do die, this creepy music will come on and the grim reaper will come and take your dead pet away. The same applies if a sim dies. I'm not trying to scare you, I'm just trying to warn you.

A new way to play 2006-03-24
So your sims can get a little bored. A pet is a great way to help them out. Upside... they get social points when interacting with their pet. Downside... unless you have a maid or robot, you clean up a lot of messes, the food can be expecive if on a budget, and you can't pick your pets personality. But, all in all I enjoyed this expansion pack.
