the sims 2 pets expansion pack free download

There are a few other pets available, such as rodents and birds, but as is the case in real life, these amount to nothing more than interactive furniture.

Dogs can be big or small and of a wide variety of breeds, and if recreating the household pet is something you want to spend your time doing, you can tweak things such as hair colour, type, patterns, patches and even those funny moustache bits some dogs have. The ability to customise your human characters has been applied to the pets too. The Sims 2 engine, which no longer restricts movement to tiles, means that dogs and cats can move about with a modicum of realism instead of running only at 90-degree angles like some demented autistic creature. This enthusiastic approach to The Sims 2: Pets has resulted in a decent release, and looking past the mindless inclusion of Simlish covers of Pussycat Dolls songs ('flerpdee wah wah krakawaka woo woo' being an improvement over their actual lyrics), there's actually a lot of genuinely great content to be had. To be fair, this is probably the expansion pack Maxis were least unwilling to make -in fact it probably only required minimal whipping at the hands of EA to produce. Also, for no reason at all, Hilary Duff is in it! Why? Because kids like Hilary Duff! Yay! Well, here's your chance to buy it again, this time for The Sims 2. Remember how in 2002 there was an expansion pack for The Sims called Unleashed? It had pets in it - really oddly animated pets. But it gets the worst out of each one, failing completely to see what made them great in the first place. It tries to mix a game like The Sims 2 with the mechanics of Nintendogs. The story mode has a lot of possibilities and in itself is not terrible, but is ruined by the terrible game mechanics. It's a weird mix of a game, you can see elements of a nicely developed game but they are scarce. Taking care of the animals is quite boring and repetitive, with simple tasks that you'll have to take care of over and over again. The animals are spooky and there's only dogs and cats. The Sims 2 Pets is a bad game, there-s no other way around it. But after Playing The Sims 2 Pets, it was probably for the best. Sure, the veterinary element is completely missing in Nintendogs. In both games, you have to take care of their needs and heal them up. Unlike Nintendogs' version of dogs, The Sims 2 Pets aren't that pretty nor realistic. At the same time, when you think of a game about taking care of animals on the DS you immediately think about Nintendogs. If you played the original The Sims 2 for the Nintendo DS, you-d expect something of the same quality here. It's smaller than the original The Sims 2 game for the DS in terms of customization and play hours. You'll choose and customize your character and the house they live in, but the main aspect of the game is the veterinary element.
