===The Sims 2: Pets===
In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'', Sims can use a [[Telephone#The Sims 2|telephone]] to call the [[pet]] adoption [[service]] and adopt a [[kitten]] or [[Dog|puppy]] , or an adult cat or dog.<ref>Adoption might take a while to load or even fail at it, both of which can leave the game unresponsive or the calling Sim stuck during the process.</ref> The pet adoption service has a pool of pets that are available for adoption; players cannot customize them in any way. What happens after the call is made may depend on which other expansion packs are installed.{{confirm}} With ''[[FreeTime]]'' installed, the pet will arrive shortly after the call was made, and will have an extra day added to its lifespan if it arrives before roughly 11 AM. Another possibility is that, if the call was made before 10 AM, the pet will arrive that day, or will otherwise arrive at 10 AM the next day. Sims can also call the pet adoption service to give a pet up, in which case it will go into the adoption pool. Pets will also be added to the adoption pool if they are taken away from a [[household]] due to neglect. Unlike when children are taken away, Sims who have had a pet taken away are free to adopt that pet, or any other pet in the adoption pool.
Sims can adopt adult cats and dogs on community lots that have the '''[[Pet display case|Cat-Crazy Pet Display]]''' and/or '''[[Pet display case|Doggonit Pet Display]]'''. Players can use one of the premade [[Pet store#The Sims 2: Pets|pet shops]] in the [[Lots and Houses bin]] or can build their own. These displays allow players to access a streamlined version of [[Create a Pet]]. Unlike the version in [[Create a Sim#Create-A-Pet|CAS]], this one does not allow players to select collars, and can create both cats and dogs. So, regardless of whether a display shows a cat or a dog, the player will be able to create either species. The base fee for adoption is §399, but it may be higher if the pet has learned any [[Skill (pet)|behaviors or commands]]. Unlike ''The Sims: Unleashed'', a family can adopt a pet from a pet shop even if only one member travels to the shop.
