Expansion Pack adds new aspects of playability 
2008-05-15
I do like this expansion pack. I find the pets to be a lot of fun. This game is glitchy, so make sure you patch it at [...] so your pets don't get stuck in the floor and such. I like having children train the pets. They enjoy it, build social with the animal, and its awfully cute to see toddlers hug the pets. Free crazy cat lady with purchase!
COOL

LOVE Pets, it is one of the coolest expansions I have, you can create a cat or dog, have a bird or hamster, you can teach them tricks, walk them, there is a werewolf in this game though I have seen the dog he has to bite you to change you and he likes me. Love the SIMS
Sims 2 Pets 2008-04-21
Finally, pets that stay alive, learn, and earn money! I love SIMS and SIMS 2 and both my daughter and I enjoy having pets added to our SIMS families. I thought there was plenty of the information included.

Let me be quick and to the point...

Creating pets is a nice addition to the game. Its also pretty fun being able to have a parrot or hamster (although you have to feed them a ridiculous amount of times during the day, or they keel over dead). This much, you probably know from reading the title.
The problem with the game, is this is really all there is too it. Yes, some new items are added, but really the only new game play features are the pets. So, its just alright. Yes, the pets are cute and fun, but they get old after a while, and without other new components, its not really that worthwhile unless you REALLY want the pets.
Also, just as a side note, the ability to have a puppy or kitten is pretty frustrating. You can't just buy a puppy or kitten from the store, nor can you create one yourself - you will either need to breed them, or adopt what few there are. there are only a few premade ones, that don't seem to be replenished. Choices are limited for adopting. For instance, there are only three kittens to adopt (which all look the same). The only way to add more kittens to the adoption pool is to raise two cats, have them have kittens, and give those up for adoption. In my book, thats kinda a chief flaw for a game that centers on the pets.

Great Edition! 2008-06-16
I loved this because it's making it more realistic which is what I LOVE about the Sims (I'm into that life simulating stuff) and it's alot of fun to have pets around! Put I get overly tired of them destroying the furniture. So it all most becomes a pain but I guess pets can do that.
Mad at this Game. 2008-06-13
Since I'm not able to play it, I put 1 star, I put 5 stars for overall rating because the picture on the game looked fun. The reason is because I did not see anywhere on this amazon Sims 2: Pets page, that you had to have Sims 2 and whatnot in order to install it. Now I'm gonna have to buy, and install that damn Sims 2 game just so I can play this one. What a ripoff. Why do they give you two discs if you have to have another game with it all together?
Ehhh... 2008-06-12
So I love the Sims and The Sims 2 and own all of the expansions, but overall I believe that the Sims 2 Seasons and The Sims 2 Pets are two of the weakest.
Do not get me wrong, there are good points to this expansion, but they are not really worth the bad points.
I love the added aspect of having a pet, being able to own a pet store, getting your pet a job and all that, but really, it is almost the same as having a kid in the game, just one that is fuzzy and walks on all fours.
Also, this expansion, along with Seasons are two that really can slow your game a lot. The load time more than doubled for me when I added this expansion. I played it for awhile, then took it off of my system because it really did not add enough to the life of my Sims to bother with. Also, the added stray animals are really just annoying as all get out.
If you are a fan, it is worth checking out to see if you like it or not. My wife really like this expansion. I do not.
Another great Sims game 2008-06-08
