Cats I tend to get for larger families because I find them lower maintenance, mainly due to the fact they're smaller in size so have way less pathing issues!īut after all that, despite the fact I love animals IRL more than I love anything else in the whole world, I'm not really that keen to buy them for my sims! I'm not sure why. I don't think dogs have ever been done justice in the Sims! Whereas I think the cats mostly look a lot nicer. I'm not really a big fan of how they look in game though, same with TS3. I love that you can take them on walks, and make kind of a routine with them.
I think they're a particularly good pet for single households and loner sims. My favourite 'big' pets are dogs (just like real life!). Although the poor fish themselves usually have a 2 day shelf life because I always forget to feed them. I sometimes end up talking to them through the screen in the same voice I use for my real guinea pigs! But my favourite catalogue pets are definitely the fish, I use those fish tanks EVERYWHERE. I looove womrats, AKA guinea pigs, in real life (I have 2 right now and they are my babies, my furry daughters ), so I have a soft spot for them in game.
