The Sims 4 is the latest instalment in a series with which we have been familiar for over a decade. A review of the development of the previous instalment is sufficient to accurately predict what awaits us in the future. Although The Sims 3 had more add-ons at a similar time after its release than the latest instalment in the series, as the saying goes, ‘What’s delayed is not lost.’ And so EA Maxis presents The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs.

This is undoubtedly great news for those who have been eagerly awaiting the chance to play with virtual four-legged friends. I am, of course, referring to dogs, as cats usually ignore us, walking on furniture and graciously allowing us to stroke them occasionally.
However, in the latest expansion pack for The Sims 4, the developers show that living with pets comes with responsibilities and new career opportunities, as well as being fun.
Pets become part of families
Entering the world offered by the latest expansion pack is seamless. Using our Sim’s smartphone or computer, we can adopt a cat or dog in a matter of moments. Alternatively, we can create a new family or edit an existing one to add a pet as a ‘default’ member.
I was impressed by the variety of breeds available and the ability to customise the appearance of the pets. Nothing is stopping our Labrador from having a husky’s coat, or a poodle from having hand-painted tiger stripes on its sides.
However, when I repainted half of the dog pink for the sake of experimentation and gave it a squeaky voice, my real golden retriever looked at me in disbelief. I gave up on the idea and stuck with the energetic beagle template.
We spice up our lives!
I must admit that I get bored with The Sims 4 the slowest out of all the games in the series. This is largely due to the many small tasks, including the characters’ whims, which provide a constant sense of purpose.
The addition of dogs and cats only enhances this feeling. It’s fun to play with a laser pointer with a little furry friend and teach them good manners or interesting tricks. Even if it does boil down to repetitive clicking on interaction options.
Incidentally, the number of new features is impressive. I counted over 250 items to buy. Add to that the outfits available in the family creation menu, as well as new traits and skills, and you realise just how much content has been implemented in The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs.
Thanks to the animal toys, I quickly transformed my garden from a barbecue and party venue into a training ground for my beagle. I was happy to see my Sim’s training skills and his pet’s physical skills grow.
You can become a veterinarian and help animals!
As well as playing with pets, we can take on the role of running a veterinary clinic. This works in a similar way to opening a store in the Get to Work expansion pack. First, you need to buy a plot of land and build a clinic with the necessary equipment. Then you can start seeing patients.
As the owner, you are responsible for every aspect of the business, including advertising and maintaining good ratings. Therefore, the decor of the waiting room, the quality of the equipment and the speed of service will be important factors. In addition to management duties, we will, of course, spend a lot of time treating dogs and cats.
We use special machines to diagnose diseases, which we then treat for a hefty sum of Simoleons. As if that weren’t enough, we can produce medicines, treats and other medical accessories for use at work or for sale in a machine that we have set up in the crowded waiting room.
