==Pet Traits==
==Cheats==
To cheat the player must press the start button and L1 L2 R1 and R2 (PS3) or LT LB RT and RB (Xbox) and a message will appear asking if you want to enable creation mode. Click yes and the player will unlock a few karma powers along with unlimited karma points and 999,999,999 [[Simoleons]]. The player's budget doesn't change if one buys or sells. However consequently the player will not receive any trophies, achievements or challenges with Creation mode enabled. {{fact}}
*'''Loyal''': Loyal pets always have got their owner's back, whether in a fight or in trouble.

*'''Adventurous''': Adventurous pets explore from the garbage can to the dark graveyard; these pets are never scared.
==[[Pet Trait]]==
*'''Playful''': Playful pets enjoy having fun with other animals and Sims. They want to run around, play fetch or chase a laser pointer all day long!
There are a total of thirty possible pet traits. In Create-A-Pet, each pet can be given up to two traits. Pets can learn up to eleven traits, and they can also "un-learn" them. A few traits cannot be learned. Some traits are unique to one species, and some can be for any species. There are also some traits that will conflict with one another, such as Proud and Playful.
*'''Aggressive''': Aggressive pets love to show how tough they are by fighting with other pets and chasing Sims. It's best not to get between an Aggressive Pet and their food!

*'''Patient''': Patient pets wait for things longer than other pets such as food, toys & baths. Their urgencies also fall slower.
== Glitches ==
*'''Piggy: '''Piggy pets are pets who are messy. This is like the sloppy Sim which means they don't mind their own filth.
The Sims 3 Pets has its fair share of small issues with certain things. They don't necessarily break the game, but they can be annoying.
*'''Skittish:''' Skittish pets are lively, unpredictable, and shy.
* Sometimes if you want to watch TV, you will be unable to because the game thinks that your couch is full, even when it isn't. Because of this, you cannot replace it or move it anywhere else.
*'''Lazy: '''Lazy pets are like '''Couch Potato '''Sims which means they are happy with just lying around instead of exercising.
* When your Sim steps out of a shower, there is a slight chance that the water coming from the shower head will still be running. This can be mistaken for a broken shower.
*'''Destructive: '''Destructive pets love to mess up things like scratching and tearing couches.
* There's a rare chance that a burglar will enter your house, set off the alarm, and stare at you for a few minutes before dashing out of your house. Nothing will be taken, but you will receive a message telling you that the police will get him/her next time.
*'''Proud: '''Proud pets are pets who are very happy about themselves. This may be similar to the '''snob''' trait in sims.
* After using a piece of gym equipment (the [[treadmill]] or the [[weight machine]]) it can sometimes take a while for your Sim to change back to his/her everyday clothes.
*'''Intelligent: '''Intelligent pets are smarter than your average Sim pets. This trait will benefit them at their job. They will be easier to teach tricks too.
* Sometimes a cat's tail texture may stretch occasionally. The only known way to fix it is restarting the game.
*'''Friendly:''' Friendly pets love to meet new animals around town in your neighborhood or on community lots like the park. They will also be willing to meet other sims too.
* During a birthday if you use a [[Karma power]] at a Sim that is aging up, then the "Having Birthday" interaction will cancel, thus resulting in a bugged age. Their portrait of them will be at the age they were supposed to become, but after the event would end, when idle they will be the same height of said age originally, but appearance-wise they would have the facial structures of the age they were going to become next.
*'''Brave: '''Brave pets are pets who will stick up for your Sim in fights or scare away burglars without being frightened. This is similar to brave Sims.
*Sometimes while making food, a Sim will disappear for unknown reasons and will not return, forcing the player to create a new family.
*'''Hydrophobic: '''Hydrophobic pets are like hydrophobic Sims. They don't like to swim.
*Sometimes a Sim will perform an action but will freeze mid animation. Trying to repeat the action will correct the issue.
*'''Clueless: '''Clueless pets are pets who don't always know what's going on. They will probably have a harder time learning tricks too.
*On the 3DS version of the game, if you delete a fence and you undo the action, the game doesn't reset the money to what it was before the action was made, essentially its an infinite money glitch.
*'''Gentle: '''Gentle pets are the opposite of aggressive pets. They won't be so tough and rough and won't fight with other pets or chase Sims. They won't mind when a Sim is around their food.
*'''Fast:''' Fast pets are faster than your average pet. They will be able to move and run faster.
*'''Agile:''' Agile pets are well-coordinated and can react quickly.
*'''Independent:''' Independent pets love to be alone but they still do need to socialize from time to time.
*'''Good: '''Good pets do what they are told. They also play with their owners.
*'''Evil: '''Evil pets don't do what they are told. They also rip up the furniture.
*'''Fun:''' Fun pets are the pets that other pets or Sims would like to be around them more.
*'''Stupid: '''Stupid pets don't catch on to tricks fast enough like '''intelligent''' pets. They would do more stupid things than other animals.
*'''Likes To Swim: '''These pets will have more fun swimming and get a better moodlet.
*'''Vocal:''' These pets will be a lot louder than normal pets, barking, meowing, or whinnying a lot more.
*'''Naive''': Naive pets are destructive but put up a good fight against burglars.
*'''Hyper: '''These pets will be more energetic than others.
