Which pets-related expansion pack do you like most?

Sims 3 pets was very bugged and I could never play them. Sims 4 are getting too needy which is a shame as I used to enjoy playing them. Nothing so far for me has come close as unleashed this has been the only sims pack I really loved having pets. I hated sims 2 and never played it so can’t comment on that pets version.

Sims 2 Pets, though Sims 3 Pets is really close.

I like the style of what the pets in 2 look like the most, add the Werewolves into the mix and you got me there :3 The pets look quite odd in 3, but the sheer amount of features it has makes up significantly for it, like the option to control pets and check their motives without cheats (2 at least allows so with cheats), and it's also the only game with horses.

i only have experience of the sims 3 on PS but the pets having jobs... that made my game!

You can fully control them and it included horses and unicorns. Whenever my cat got fleas I would have the unicorn cure her. It was fun to have a teenage Sim break curfew while riding her horse, take control of the horse and have it run all around town while the police were chasing them, return home, and act like nothing had happened. I got my cat looking pretty close to her real life self in this one, just missing the white tip of her tail.

I'm sure I could make a realistic version of my cat with Sims 4, but not being able to control them or even see their needs is too much like the baby stage, which I always have skipped, so I have not gotten this pack. I do not mind that it's only cats and dogs and if I had the option to play as my cat then I would get it. I have played all pets packs from Sims 1 - 3.

Sims 3 BY FAR.

Sims 2 was okay, but it had only the basics. Werewolves were utterly disappointing.

Sims 4 Cats and Dogs is so basic. It has cats and dogs and that's it. The vet career was a reskinned version of the Dine Out business + GTW doctor career. Its only saving grace is the world.

I don't even control my pets, but being able to check their motives is great. And it has so many pets: cats, dogs, horses, birds, snakes and so on... so complete!

Having never played TS3, I picked TS2, because those were the good old days when pets weren't just moving decoration, and cats weren't completely inferior to dogs. I also liked that you could send them to work and create the silly situation where the pet is the main breadwinner in the household while the humans can just have a good time.

TS4 Cats & Dogs has ownable vet clinics and Create-A-Pet with a million different ways to make pets look cute, but at the expense of interesting gameplay, which unfortunately fits right in with TS4's usual "style over substance" approach.

The Sims 3 Pets wins this one pretty handily. Although I loved the pet shows in Unleashed (IIRC? It's been nearly two decades since I have played it. o.O). And I love the world (Brindleton Bay) of The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs (in fact, it is my favorite world), The Sims 3 Pets is just a mark above everything else. The amount of features packed into that Expansion Pack is incredible.

You have dogs, cats, horses, unicorns, and all kinds of small pets. Wild horses, small pets, and even deer populate the world, making it feel more lively (although I wish the small pets did more than just stand in one place, but what can you do?).

Sims 3, because...HORSES. Always and forever horses. I am a horse-person in real life.

I'm going with Sims 2 Pets only because I never got to fully experience Sims 3 Pets as my pc at the time hated Sims 3 and Sims 2 Pets is far superior to 1 and 4.
