The Sims 3: Pets

The Sims 3: Pets is the 5th expansion pack for The Sims 3 and a standalone game for consoles. A trailer was leaked nearly 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 creature: Horses. However, the console version will only feature cats and dogs.
