Imagine spending an evening in front of your computer getting Sim children to do homework and Sim pets trained not to mess in the house . Then go to work the next day and explain to coworkers what you were doing the night before.
Pets, Superstars and Magic were the best things in the original. Its sad that they haven't put that in TS2. Oh well, there's bound to be an EP with those. Pets were really interesting! And it wasn't very hard to housebreak them. You just hang around them when the're doing their business and then scold or praise them!
I hated training the pets in TS1, so I downloaded a hacked litter-box that gave them all their skills, like Merola's Mirror does in TS2. If they come out in TS2, I would imagine that someone would re-create it. Can't remember where I got it, Similogical maybe?
I would like to have some pets but I don't particularly want a whole EP dedicated to it. I'd be happy if you could have a pet dog, cat, and parrot. I don't see why they couldn't add this to any EP. I didn't care for the whole dog show aspect but I would like kids to have a pet to care for. I always liked having one old lady with a house full of cats in each neighborhood. Pets provided a way to let someone live as a curmudgeony hermit and still maintain their social. (I still miss tons of things from TS1.)
agreed. while i never thought anything of it when Unleashed was released, in retrospect it was a bit much for a single expansion. they couldve easily expanded downtown and added all the different pet shops there. of course Hot Date wouldnt be hot Date anymore, would it? meh. nevertheless, i hope they add pets back in to TS2.
