==The Sims: Unleashed==
In ''[[The Sims: Unleashed]]'', Sims
[[Adoption#Adopting pets|Adopting a pet]] can help Sims at home, especially if they live alone. Dogs can bring the newspaper in every morning if trained, while cats can chase rabbits and gophers away from a vegetable patch. Pets don't necessarily need to be bought, though; if there are stray cats or dogs wandering around the neighborhood, and if a Sim makes friends with one, it can be adopted for free, although this can take time.
Like human Sims, pets have different [[Motive (pet)|motives]] that will need fulfilling, and each have different [[Personality (pet)|personalities]].
Sims can buy cat collars from '''The Collar Purple''' and dog collars from the '''Canine Collar Contraption'''. To put a collar on a pet, the player will need to select a Sim that has a collar for that type of pet in his or her inventory, then click on the pet. An option to put the collar on the pet will appear.
Line 22:
Cats and dogs have two [[life stages (pet)|life stages]], kitten/puppy and adult. Adult cats and dogs, like human Sims in ''The Sims'', are ageless and have indefinite life spans.
Cats and dogs can be told to move by using the Go Here interaction, but cannot be told to use objects. A pet's actions cannot be canceled, but pets with at least three points in the Obedience skill can be told to stop what they're doing. Cats and dogs may autonomously chase their tail when they are bored.

==The Urbz: Sims in the City (DS)==
In ''[[The Urbz: Sims in the City (Nintendo DS)|The Urbz: Sims in the City]]'', pets can be genetically spliced out of amber. By entering the Create A Pet minigame, one of those species will be
The pet can be socialized with. The interactions for pets are different than for normal Sims, and are: baby talk, hug, kiss, pet, play, pull tail, rubdown, scold, scratch, and tease. Pets also have three different facial expressions, as opposed to normal Sims, who have nine. The NPC parrot cannot be socialized. Pets can also be told to follow the player.
Line 51:
The final mission in the game involves controlling the pet, the first time for ''The Sims'' series, although no interaction deviating from the script can be done, and walking is the only way the pet is actually controlled.
==The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)==
In ''[[The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)|The Sims 2]]'' for DS, the player can purchase small pets at the [[Strangetown#The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)|Strangetown]] General Store. A Koi Pond and [[Small_pet#The Sims 2 (Nintendo DS)|Pet Bunyip]] can be placed anywhere in the player's suite or the hotel guest rooms.
==The Sims 2: Pets==
In ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'', Sims can have [[small pet]]s (womrats, birds, and fish), as well as dogs and cats. A [[Create a Pet]] feature is now in Create a Sim, so the player can create pets, and can set their [[Personality (pet)#The Sims 2: Pets|personality]], as well as their fur color and style. They have their own [[motives]], learned [[behaviors]], and Sims can teach them certain [[commands]]. A pet
Pets have three [[life stages (pet)|life stages]]: kitten or puppy, adult, and elder. Kittens and puppies are mobile, but must be carried up and down stairs. They can eat from [[food bowl]]s and get into [[pet bed]]s without help, and kittens can use [[litter box]]es without help. They cannot have jobs or learn commands, but they can learn behaviors. They cannot get on furniture or Sim beds, but can be praised for ''not'' doing those things, and can therefore be taught not to do them.
Like Sims, pets have eight [[motive (pet)|motives]] that contribute to their overall mood. The Environment motive is replaced with Scratch ([[cat]]s) and Chew ([[dog]]s). Puppies and kittens do not have the Chew or Scratch motives. Pets will autonomously act to fill their own motives. While cats will lick themselves to increase their [[hygiene]], dogs must be washed in a [[bathtub]] by a [[teen]] or older Sim.
Sims can buy pet collars from the '''Collar Connection Display''', but the player must choose whether the collar will be for a large dog, a small dog, or a cat. Once purchased, collars appear to be stored in an equivalent of the household wardrobe that stores the Sims' [[Clothes#The Sims 2|clothing]], so once a collar is purchased for a type of pet, it can be placed on any pet of that type in the household. To put a collar on a pet, or to change or remove a pet's collar, the player will need to click on a [[mirror]], and choose the option to change the pet's appearance. Both the Sim and the pet will go to the mirror, and the player will be able to select any collar that has been purchased for that type of pet. The action will fail if the pet cannot get to the mirror, so the player may need to buy a full-length mirror and place it in an open area, so both the Sim and the pet will be able to get to the mirror. Of course, the mirror can be sold for its full price once the collar is on the pet.
Pets can be [[Adoption#Adopting pets|adopted]] by befriending a stray or by using the phone. There are pet stores in the [[Lots and Houses bin]] that can be placed in any neighborhood. These stores allow Sims to adopt adult cats and dogs, but not kittens and puppies. Pets can be transferred from one household to another by using the "Propose... Give Pet..." or "Sales... Pet..." interactions.
While pets cannot see [[ghost]]s, they react strongly if they sense one.
===Interactions===
Sims can perform the following interactions to pets:

{{Main|Career (pet)}}▼
Three career tracks are available to both adult dogs and cats. A teen or older Sim can look for and enroll their pets into jobs through the [[newspaper]] or [[computer]], much like normal Sim jobs. Pets will need to learn specific [[commands]] in order to advance through their careers. Each promotion they earn will unlock pet collars and coats that can be used in [[Create a Pet]]. Like Sims, pets will autonomously go to work if they are in a good mood. Sims can call the pet's workplace to have them quit their job at any time, or retire when the pet becomes an elder.

Line 209 ⟶ 236:
Players can obtain pets in many ways. The first and most basic way is to create them in Create-A-Pet. Players can choose from 118 dog breeds (72 Large and 46 Small), 46 Cat breeds and 30 horse breeds - all 194 breeds can be seen [[List of pet breeds#The Sims 3 Era|here]]. For families created without pets, they can be adopted from both the Animal Shelter and from other families in the neighborhood who have listed an owned pet(s) for adoption. Both of these options cost nothing to the buyer.

==The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs==
[[File: TS4 Cats and Dogs 2.jpg|thumb|A Sim and her dog.|250px]]
In ''[[The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs]]'', Sims can own cats and dogs as pets, which are the two main pets of the expansion pack. They can be created with [[Create a Pet]], and there are many pre-made breeds for them. Players will be able to customize their pets' appearance and even make their own breeds. For the first time in the series, pets can wear [[clothes]] specially made for them. Sims can also [[Adoption#Adopting pets|adopt]] cats and dogs. Unlike previous games, pets cannot be controlled by the player, similarly to ''The Sims 2: Pets'', and there is no cheat that will allow the player to do so
Sims can interact with cats and dogs in various form of ways such as feeding, playing and training, and are able to bond with them through these interactions. Sims can also start a [[vet clinic]] [[business]] and improve their [[veterinarian]] skill, in order to take care of pets and cure the various [[pet illness]]es they can gain.
Line 255 ⟶ 284:
===Breeding===
If there is both a male and female pet of the same species on a lot and a Sim is friends with at least one of them, the Sim has the option to "encourage" the two pets to mate with each other. The two pets also have to be friendly with each other or else one of the pets will just walk away. If the command from the Sim is successful, the pets will then mate and the female will become pregnant. Dogs and cats can have litters of 1-3 offspring, depending on space in the household and randomness. Sims
==Death==

{{Main|Death}}
Like Sims, pets can die. However, there are not many ways for a pet to die. Pets in ''The Sims: Unleashed'' can die of [[fire]] and [[starvation]], although
Pets in [[The Sims 2 Pets (console)|console versions]] of ''The Sims 2 Pets'' cannot die.
Based on the producer's walkthrough of ''The Sims 3 Pets'', pets may also be able to drown along with dying of age. It is however still unknown if pets can starve or burn to death.
