'''Animals and pets''' are features that appeared throughout the whole [[The Sims (series)|''The Sims'' series]].

In ''[[The Sims]]'', pests[[aquarium]]s wereallowed theSims firstto animalsown tofish beas addedpets. toPests were also introduced in the franchiseform of [[flies]]. Flies will appear over dirty plates, and piles of trash,. and"Free-range evenflies" othermay partsalso ofappear the lot such as an untidy bed or aon dirty toiletlots, canand causewill "free-range"roam fliesaround tothe appear on thehouse lotfreely. These flies are not harmful, but when they are in a room, they reduce its [[Environment|Room]] score.

If ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'' is installed, [[dog]]s will sometimes jump and snap at "free range" filesflies, but cannot get rid of them. "Free range" flies can be picked up and sold in Buy or Build mode if the [[Moveobjects|move_objects on]] [[The Sims/cheats|cheat]] is enabled. Oddly, they're labeled as the "[[SSRI Virtual Reality Set]]" and worth 460 [[simoleonSimoleon]]s.

The first wild animal introduced in the franchise was [[Claire the Bear]], a bear who was introduced in ''[[The Sims: Hot Date]]''. She occasionally wanders onto the lot being played, and although she means no harm, she often roots around in the trashcan, and looks for food in it, waking up all the [[Sim]]s in the house. She will also interact with, or at least react to, the Buster O’BeastO'Beast stuffed bear and the bearskin rug, and may attempt to steal partially-filled jars of honey from the [[beehive]].{{vgversion|TS:MM}}

Birds came with this expansion pack such as Cockatoos, Parrots, Love Birds, and Pet Budgies. Love Birds and Pet Budgies are pet store exclusives, and cost §59 and §35 respectively, while Cockatoos and Parrots can be obtained from Buy Mode. Other small pets include iguanas, turtles, and goldfish for the small tabletop fishbowls.

[[El Bandito|Raccoons]] can also appear, but they aren't as troublesome. Like Claire the Bear, raccoons like to paw around in the trashcan, waking the Sims in the dead of night. Sims can shoo raccoons or call [[Animal Control]] to humanely remove them before they get into the garbage. Another possible solution is to get a [[dog]], which may or may not chase El Bandito away. The [[Henri LeStanc|skunk]] is another visitor, and although it doesn't wake up Sims, it can spray them if they go to pet it, which will drop their hygiene down to zero. Pets can get sprayed as well if they go to investigate the. The skunk will leave after a few days, but Sims can phone Animal Control to have the skunk humanely removed from the property for §30.

In ''The Sims 3'' base game, [[Fishing (The Sims 3)#Fish|fish]] and [[Bug collecting|insects]] are include,included and Sims can [[Collecting (The Sims 3)|collect]] and keep them as [[pet (small)|small pets]]. Also, bears can maul Sims that enter the [[Cemetery#Mausoleum|mausoleum]].

[[Shark]]s are added in the [[The Sims 3: Island Paradise]] [[expansion pack]]. There are 4 types of shark in the[[diving gamearea]]s, which are the Blacktip Reef Shark, Tiger Shark, Lemon Shark, and Great White Shark. There is a chance for a playable simSim to get attacked by one of them Ifif they are in the same [[Diving area]] as the simSim, and Ifif that happens -it might result in a lost of the simSim's live,[[death]] Ifif he or she loses to the shark in a fight. Therefor, it would be wise to have your simsSims with high [[Athletic]], [[Martial Arts]] or [[Scuba Diving]] [[skill]] as possible before having the simSim dive in a dangerous spots surrounded by these animals. If the simSim doesn't have the following skills, the player can direct the scuba diver to hide in a nearby cave, saving them from the possibly fatal attack If he or she manages to enter it in time. SimSims with the [[Loves to Swim]] trait have better odds to win the fight. If the Sim wins against the shark, they will receive a shark tooth and get the "Pumped" moodlet.

There are two more hostile animals introduced, the [[Kraken]] and The Cave Monster, but unlike the shark - they cannot kill a simSim. A [[Kraken]] has a rare chance of spawning and a rare chance to attack a sim on a boat, destroying it. A Sim with the "Friend of the Kraken" [[Lifetime reward]] can direct the monster to attack other simsSims/boats. The Cave, hence the name,Monster is found in one of the [[Underwater cave]]s, which also havehas a chance to attack a simSim that enters the cave.
