I'm not a pet person in real life nor do I have any but i do love them in the game. I feel like they add life to the house holds. I like to see them running by, cats jumping all over counters, dogs barking etc. I think it's fun. What don't like is that I usually end up kicking them out because they take up a slot and we cant even control them. So I can never have as many as I really want.
I don't interact with them much. Mainly I let them do their thing in the background. What hate is that the dogs are always sick and dirty foaming at the mouth, I mean like constantly. I finally kicked him out.
And I'm still sour we can't control them. I have a blast controlling them in sims 3. Especially when the family is asleep I go make mischief lol ?
