Not only will players have the opportunity to choose from a variety of existing breeds, and hot designer mixes, but they ll also be able to personally design their new friend with the Create-a-Pet feature. The ability to customize gives fans the opportunity to create their ideal pet by choosing their body shape, unique markings, even their pet s personalities! With so many different animals to choose from, there s no telling what unpredictable experiences could occur! Players will also be able to teach their pet new tricks, take them for a romp in the park, outfit them with new pet accessories and even give them a job! As in real life, your Sims pet will require care and training. A neglected cat with an urge to scratch might claw up your new couch if you aren t careful, and leaving your dog unattended near a freshly planted flower bed probably isn t wise!
