I think months of my life were spent on this! Firstly, we looked at what we made in the past.
How do you pick what breeds will be included? Dogs will sneak on the couch to sleep upside down and snore at night. You'll see cats climb on almost every surface in your house and glare at dogs from the top of the refrigerator. They have routines, quirks, and more nuanced behavior. we wanted them to feel, look, and act like living, breathing household pets. As you build your skills, you'll be able to diagnose symptoms, treat pets, and even conduct surgery. You can hire staff, train them, and your Sims and their family can be veterinarians. Secondly, we added the ability for Sims to be veterinarians you can purchase, design, and set up a veterinarian clinic. It is so simple to choose a breed, create mix breeds, paint spots, use our stencil tool, and for the first time ever, add pet clothing (shark fins, helmets, and more). It is arguably the best creative tool we have ever made. How will this Sims 4 expansion build on what we saw in Sims 3?įirstly, the new Create a Pet tool is amazing. It's just a foundational part of being human and cats and dogs scratches that itch in a big way. Cats and dogs integrate into our Sims' routines, change their lives, make them happier, give them challenges, and fulfill that missing hole in their hearts. Look at the affection people have for Twitter feeds like WeRateDogs, or how many cats are on Instagram. I simply cannot imagine not having a dog. The Sims is about life, and dogs and cats are such a fundamental part of so many people's lives. What is it about cats and dogs that make them such a big part of The Sims for players?
