Pet: Difference between revisions

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.

 

 

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.
