Create a Pet
Create a Pet is the section of Create a Sim where the player creates pets in The Sims 2: 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 allows the player to create their own from preset breeds or create a completely new one.

In The Sims 2, the Create-A-Pet feature is part of the CAS. An adult or elder dog or cat can be added to the family.
