⚫ | 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. |

⚫ | ''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'''. |
||
⚫ | |||
⚫ | ''[[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. |

⚫ | 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. |
