Create a Pet

Create a Pet is the section of Create a Sim where the player creates pets in The Sims 2: Pets and The Sims 3: Pets. Unlike The Sims: Unleashed where the player is only able to buy a pet and choose from a few breeds, The Sims 2: Pets and The Sims 3: Pets allows the player to create their own from preset breeds or create a completely new one.

The Sims 2
In The Sims 2: Pets, the Create-A-Pet feature is part of CAS. An adult or elder dog or cat can be added to the family. There are many options to customize the appearance of a pet as well as predefined breeds. A pet's personality and name can then be chosen. The player can also unlock many new coats and collars through in-game experiences.

The Sims 3
In The Sims 3: Pets, cats, dogs, and horses can be made in Create a Pet, and there are many pre-made breeds for each species. As in The Sims 2: Pets, kittens, puppies, and foals cannot be made in Create a Pet. Players will also be able to customize their pets' appearance. In The Sims 3: Pets, the "location" of Create a Pet is inside a barn, unlike Create a Sim, which is in a house.
