Community NewsAuthor: jfadePublished: Jul 22, 2006Views: 235

We still don't have much information or an announcement at the Official Site, but if you're eager to get your hands on the pets expansion or console game, you can now preorder it at the EA Store.

On the preorder page for the PC Expansion, you can read all kinds of little tidbits about how the pets will work. The expansion is priced at $29.95, but no release date is given. Check the page here for the full text along with a box shot. And, also according to the EA Store, the Pets game will be made available for Nintendo DS, Gameboy Advance, GameCube, and PlayStation 2. See the listing for them here.

Just in case these pages disappear from the EA Store, here's the information as shown at the site for the PC Expansion:

Sims Have Pets! - Your Sims can share a lifetime with their pets. Sims can adopt dogs, cats, birds, and more.

Create-A-Pet - Choose from dozens of dog and cat breeds, or customize features for a unique pet and then pick their personalities.

Pets Have Genetics - Cross different breeds to create designer pets or make new ones and register them to appear in Create-A-Pet as a unique pedigree.

Sit, Spike, Sit - Your Sims can encourage and discipline pets, training them to shake, play dead, and more. Unruly pets might dig in the yard, claw the sofa, topple the trash, or surprise their Sims in other ways, but Sims can change their pets' ways with the right training!

Pets Have Careers - Now your Sims aren't the only ones bringing home the bacon! Skilled pets can earn a living from three career tracks - Show Business, Security, and Service - and work their way up through five job levels.

Friends for a Lifetime - Your Sims' pets are members of the family and share all of life's great moments - whether it's kids training puppies, teens playing fetch in the park, adults watching TV with their cats, or elders enjoying a sunny day in park with their long-time companion!

Show off Your Pets - Share your favorite Sim pets with other The Sims� 2 Pets players through the exchange.

That's all for now, hopefully we'll have more information (and screenshots!) soon!

Yes! Finally! I'm so happy this expansion is finally coming out! Out of the previous three, this is the one I'm most exited about. It's the only one I actually want to literally run out to get as soon as it's released!!
