There are no horses, birds, rodents, or lizards in this pet expansion, but players should find plenty to do with their cats and dogs. The customization options in The Sims 4 allow for much more specific characteristics in your pets. Choose from a wide variety of breeds or create your own unique mutt.

Each pet will develop their own personality traits through the course of their lives. The way your sims interact with their pets will greatly influence how they grow, with options to care for, train, and play with your pets from when they are puppies and kittens through adulthood.

The expansion will also come with a brand new coastal world where you can raise your fur babies. Brindleton Bay has parks where you can play with your pets and set up obstacle courses, find strays to add to your family, and interact with other pet-loving sims.
