Sims 2 Pets

It was almost a premonition.. Just last month I pointed out Sims Unleashed and commented, "Sims 2 needs pets!" And then the next time I stepped into EB Games.. There it was on the "Coming Soon" rack! I couldn't help squealing in delight. :P Herby got it for me when it came out and I've fallen in love with it since.

Gave all my sims pets! I even created a new family, just one girl and 3 dogs and 2 cats. She's supposed to be an animal lover, and her lifetime aspiration is to have 20 simultaneous pet best friends. It's really hard, nigh impossible, but not quite! The reason why it's hard is because unlike sim friends, you can't just call them up and invite them over. You have to invite their owners over, and ask them to bring their pets along. This means you need a fairly good relationship with the owner as well. The other way is to make friends with strays, but that's even harder 'coz you have to wait for them to come to your house and invite them in. Though they do tend to show up more often when you invite them in regularly. I wanted to breed the two cats, but it turns out that they just don't like each other! It must've been something to do with their personalities. One of them is very agressive, and the other is very independant. So I guess that didn't leave very much room to build a good relationship. :P
