This is the third time EA (or Maxis) had a similar idea for the franchise, after releasing The Sims: Unleashed and The Sims 2: Pets years ago. From the title alone, it probably goes without saying that The Sims 3: Pets focuses on animals you can adopt to wander around your home.įor the first time in the entire franchise, the idea of Pets made me a little wary. Electronic Arts returns with yet another expansion pack for their long-running Sims franchise, the fifth for The Sims 3.
