Sims 4 pets

And now a follow up question for our contestants. If we ever get a Pets EP, what pets would you want in CAS? Cats and Dogs are a given, but is there any other pet you would want to create yourself? Please exclude horses, I know people want them, but I think our lots are too small to have horses, so keep this to small animals, please.

Follow up question #2. After one or two households in S3 where my sim had several or all of the nonCAS pets like snakes, birds, lizards and turtles, I got bored with them and just played cats and dogs. How important are those nonCAS pets? Do you have to have them? Will your game be incomplete without them? If we could get better, more involved cats and dogs, would you be willing to do without them?

In CAS I personally would be fine with just dogs and cats. I'm not much of a horse person myself and leaving out smaller pets like hamsters/guinea pigs, rabbits, ferrets, and birds from CAS would be ideal for me cause I think it'd give them more time to work on different cat and dog breeds (also longhair and shorthair textures, pets genetics, etc.) I would really love to just have our small rodents and reptiles as more or less objects though. They'd basically be there almost exclusively for the kids to play with (but of course adults could too, maybe even toddlers with the help of an adult/teen). They'd be in cages of different sizes and there would just be a couple different animations for them (feed, refill water, pet, play, perhaps train but it wouldn't do much?), that'd be really nice. I'm so excited for pets!

Sidenote: I am hoping abandoned/lost pets don't wander around the neighborhood like they did in TS3, that would make me sad. :'( I'm all for NPCs walking their dogs or whatever though. I'm excited for pet adoption and a potential career. I love @classicXcrime 's idea for teens to have a pet-related job, and I could totally see Animal Whisperer as a new aspiration! @Elliecake
