The world bears some resemblance to [[Sunlit Tides]], but has more of a Spanish-Caribbean theme and places more emphasis on interacting with the water.


In ''Cats & Dogs'', Sims can own cats and dogs as pets, which are the main feature of the expansion pack. 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 these pets in various form of ways such as feeding, playing and training, and are able to bond with them through these interactions.
Unlike other worlds, a land connection does not exist for every lot, necessitating the use of [[boat]]s in order to get around. Boats can be purchased in [[buy mode]] by the player in a similar fashion to purchasing [[car]]s, and require a boat trailer to be docked at. Sims can also build a [[houseboat]], a type of [[residential lot]] that can be moved around on the water. A taxi boat service is available for Sims who do not own their own boat. Isla Paradiso's oceans are deep enough for the [[Kraken]]—a giant sea monster—to appear, and may attack the boats of Sims if they stay out in the water for too long.


Vet clinics are another feature introduced in ''Cats & Dogs''. They are a lot type and a business that Sims can own. Cats and dogs can now have various types of [[Pet illness|illnesses]], that can be easily cured by veterinarians. They are treated with different types of medicine and in serious situations with a surgery station, that can also neuter and un-neuter pets.
129 Sims appear in Isla Paradiso, including one returning Sim—[[Edward Dregg]], who first appeared in ''[[The Sims 2: Bon Voyage]]'' and ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories]]'' as a pirate captain ghost.

Alongside pets and vet clinics, the expansion pack also introduces the coastal world of Brindleton Bay, [[veterinarian]] and [[pet training]] skills, new [[Trait (The Sims 4)|traits]], [[Aspiration (The Sims 4)|aspirations]], collectibles, and other various pet related objects and activities.
