The Sims 3: Pets

The Sims 3: Pets is the 5th expansion pack for The Sims 3. A trailer was leaked at the same time as the The Sims 3: Generations one. An official trailer has since been released, announcing the game.

The game sees a return of pets from The Sims 2. Cats and dogs will be returning, along with a brand new animal: Horses. It was also confirmed that there will be snakes, turtles, birds and lizards in the PC version.

This is the first time that games or expansions in two different "generations" of The Sims series will have the same title.

The PC version will be bundled in a package with the base game as The Sims 3 Plus Pets.
