The Sims Get Pets

Sims 2 Pets trailer


The Sims aren't enough trouble, now they're going to get pets?

"The Sims 2 Pets" ($29.99) hits stores today, and gives the Sims people -- who always seem to need something -- the ability to have pets. They can adopt a dog or cat or other creature, they can take in a stray or they can buy one from a pet store. And they get to customize their pets -- talk about genetic engineering -- including breed, coat color, and facial and body features. Plus, if they turn out to be too much work for you -- in addition to tending to the Sims people -- you can hire a trainer for a small fee.

EA Games adds the celebrity factore with Hilary Duff and her pet Chihuahua Lola. I found a review at Game Daily. If you're a player, is this a good add-on? Do pets up the fun and challenge of "Sims"?
