Pets have their own specifically-tailored wishes and lifetime happiness rewards like human Sims, and super-animal-and-3DS-lovers can even create families composed of just dogs or cats - an exclusive option for the 3DS.
You can customize your own pet (choosing from dozens of feline and canine breeds) in the create-a-pet portion of the game, and then can choose to have offspring with other like-specied creatures in game (cat or dog) and set up your own animal dynasty. Playing as a pet extends way beyond your mark on the living room floor. Always wanted to destroy that living room furniture or even pee on the carpet? Well, consider your dreams fulfilled. The Sims 3: Pets allows you to take that affinity one step further and actually be your pet for the first time in franchise history. Most of us have days - and for some of us, those days are more like every day - where we'd rather hang out with a four-legged friend than a member of humanity.
