==The Sims 2==
===Fish===
As in ''The Sims'', the only small pets available in the base game are fish, bought with the '''[[Aquarium|Aquabox Five-Gallon Aquarium]]'''. The aquarium can be stocked by selecting the "Restock" option. Sims must feed the fish and clean the tank regularly, or they will die. ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' adds another [[Aquarium|fish tank]], which works the same as the base game aquarium.
 
===Womrats and parrots===

[[File:WomratAndSim.jpg|200px|thumb|A Sim playing with her womrat]]
''The Sims 2: Pets'' adds womrats and parrots. They can be purchased by buying the appropriate cage in [[Buy mode]], and then using the cage's "Restock" option, which can only be done if the cage is empty and clean. Womrats cost §75, while parrots cost §400. The womrat cage is called the '''FMCU 3000''' and the parrot cage is called the '''Tropico Avian Sanctuary'''.
 
===Small dogs===
''[[The Sims 2: Apartment Life]]'' adds the '''Modern Arf Indoor Dog Pen''', which allows Sims to keep a small dog in the pen; the pen costs §525, while the dogs cost §500. This pen doesn't require ''Pets'' to be installed, and the dog behaves like a small pet, using different meshes, textures and animations to regular dogs.
 
===Butterflies and fireflies===
[[File:Snapshot releasebutterflies.jpg|thumb|right|Releasing butterflies]]
Sims can also keep [[Bug catching|collected butterflies and fireflies]]{{Vgversion|TS2:S}} in a jar. If they are not released, they will eventually die and the jar will have to be cleaned. Neither the [[maid]] nor the [[butler]] will clean it, though.
 
===Caring for small pets===
When stocking a cage or pen, the player will have a choice of several fur or feather colors, and will be able to name the pet. Sims must feed small pets regularly; feeding a womrat or penned dog costs §10, while feeding a bird costs §20. Womrats and birds will eventually starve if not fed, but a starving penned dog will be taken away by an Animal Control officer before it can die. Small pets that are hungry may bite, and ones that are starving will have "hungry" thought bubble above their heads. It is also important to keep the cage or pen clean, as a dirty cage not only brings down the room's [[Environment]] score, but lowers the small pet's mood, increasing the chances that it will bite. While a womrat is essentially a guinea pig, the [[Illness#Guinea Pig Disease|Guinea Pig Disease]] from ''[[The Sims: Livin' Large]]'' does not exist in ''The Sims 2''.
 
Sims can play with and watch these small pets, and can carry along the parrot or penned dog. Also, parrots can be taught to talk. Once they've learned to talk, Sims can talk to them to build [[Charisma]] skill. Sims will also build [[Nature]] [[enthusiasm]]{{Vgversion|TS2:FT}} whenever they clean the cage or talk to a bird.
 
Bird cages can be opened. An open bird cage will eventually let the parrot out and it will fly around the house. Nearby Sims will gain [[fun]] from this. Sims cannot interact with the parrot while it's flying, and it will not escape and cannot be attacked by cats or dogs.
 
A womrat or bird can be set free, and a penned dog can be given up for adoption.
 
Small pets are the only pets that [[young adult]]s can keep on [[College (sub-neighborhood)|college]] lots, or that can be kept in vacation homes.

In ''The Sims 2'' for DS, there's a few small pets that can be purchased at the Strangetown General Store. The Koi Pond has one carp that periodically jumps about, it can only be admired. The Pet Bunyip will do a back flip each time it has been fed. These pets can only be placed in the player's suite or the hotel guest rooms.

==The Sims 4==
[[File:TS4 Goldfish and Leaf Frog.png|200px|thumb]]
''[[The Sims 4]]'' has twothree types of small pets: '''fish''', frogs, and '''frogs'''insects. Neither have to be fed and they will never die.
 
===Fish===
Line 166 ⟶ 192:
 
===Frogs===
Frogs can only be caught in the wild, and cannot be bought unless the player uses the <code>bb.showhiddenobjects</code> cheat. There are 24 25 kinds of frogs available, with rarer kinds being worth more Simoleons, though all frogs have an [[environment]] score of 3.
 
Sims can view a frog's terrarium to determine what kind it is, and can breed two frogs together if both are in their inventory. There are no other interactions and, unlike fish, frogs can't be named.
