Personality (pet): Difference between revisions

In ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', pet personalities use the same zero-to-ten (actually 0 to 10.00) scale that human Sims do. A pet's personality is split into five sections: Quietness, friendliness, playfulness, smartness, and loyalty. Each scale can be split into three roughly equal parts. When clicked on, each trait will show one of three labels, depending on which part of the scale the pet's score in that trait falls into.
