The Sims 2: Pets

"Overall the Sims 2: Pets is quite a fruitless expansion. That is to say you won’t get much out of it; the entire expansion pack is made in mind of the little critters with no real regards to your human Sims, who dominate most of your time."

"Just like in real life, pets in the expansion can require a lot of maintenance and work, but the reward is having a loyal companion that can help put a smile on your face."

"The Pets expansion adds an interesting wrinkle to The Sims 2 but won't set the world, or even your sims' house, on fire."

"If you're a Sims 2 fan and have no expansions, grab Nightlife first. Conversely, if you're a big enough Sims fan to own all the expansions so far, go ahead and drop the money on this one as well. This expansion, in a nutshell, is definitely made for the Sims 2 fans, not the Sims 2 newbies."
