==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}}

== Glitches ==
Traits are also featured for pet just like Sims. There are total of 30 pet traits. Each pet can have three traits but the other two can be learned by doing actions.. 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 [[Likes Swimming]] and [[Hydrophobic (Pet)|Hydrophobic]].
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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* 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.
* Sometimes a cat's tail texture may stretch occasionally. The only known way to fix it is restarting the game.
* 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.
*Sometimes while making food, a Sim will disappear for unknown reasons and will not return, forcing the player to create a new family.
*Sometimes a Sim will perform an action but will freeze mid animation. Trying to repeat the action will correct the issue.
*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.
