Create a pet and bring animals home
Cats & Dogs introduces pet cats and dogs to The Sims 4 through the Create A Pet tool. Players can choose from a range of breeds, adjust physical features directly, customize coat patterns, and assign distinct personalities. For the first time in the series, pets can also wear outfits and accessories. Cats and dogs have three life stages (kitten or puppy, adult, and elder) and cannot be controlled directly by the player. Instead, they develop their own behaviors and form relationships with Sims based on daily care, training, and play.
Veterinarian career and clinics
The pack adds a veterinarian skill and lets Sims build and run their own vet clinic. Clinic owners hire staff, set services and pricing, and treat animals that come in with various ailments. Treatments range from medication for common conditions like fleas to surgery for more serious cases. The surgery station can also be used to neuter or un-neuter pets.
Brindleton Bay
Brindleton Bay is a coastal world with a New England atmosphere. The neighborhood includes harbor docks, a lighthouse, and parks where Sims can set up obstacle courses or play fetch with their pets. Stray cats and dogs roam the world and can be adopted into a household. The pack also adds lot traits including Training Spot, Cat Friendly, Dog Friendly, Cat Spot, and Dog Spot.
Build and Create a Sim content
The expansion includes 183 Create a Sim items such as clothing, hairstyles, and accessories, along with 332 Build Mode objects for furnishing and decorating. Players can also create foxes and raccoons in Create A Pet, where they appear as special breeds for dogs and cats respectively.
