'''''The Sims Pet Stories''''' is the second game in ''[[The Sims Stories]]'' product line, developed by [[MaxisAspyr Media|Aspyr]]<ref>https://www.macworld.com/article/186632/petstories.html</ref> and published by [[EA Games]]. It was released on June 15, 2007.
 
The main character in [[Best in Show]] is [[Alice Whitt]] while [[Stephen Loyal]] is the main character in [[Midnight Masquerade]]. As in ''[[The Sims Life Stories]]'', the game is mostly about being directed to perform tasks that the player has to follow for their stories to unfold (Each story has 12 chapters). The game also challenges Sims to care for and train pets, similar to ''[[The Sims 2: Pets]]'' but unlike ''The Sims 2: Pets'', ''The Sims Pet Stories'' doesn't feature [[werewolves]]. There is also a Free Play mode that has no story to follow. After you complete the stories you can continue to play as you wish.
Line 132 ⟶ 135:
* '''[[Buster Davis]]'''
Erin's pet dog. He chases Diva causing a meeting between Stephen and Erin.
* '''[[Tracy Kosmokos]]'''
Tracy Kosmokos is Celeste's bridesmaid. Not a story character, she leaves the game at pretty much her first opportunity. Her portrait indicates she is a mail carrier.
* '''[[Hailey Long]]'''
Hailey Long is one of Gordon Fetching's girlfriends, and is seen falling in love with him after he flirts with her. Her outfit indicates that she is a repair specialist, and oddly she has the Elder female body shape when she appears in the game; however, when checked in SimPE she is an Adult, and wearing a different outfit.

==Trivia==
* This is one of the few games on the [[The Sims (series)|series]] not to feature the [[elder]] [[Life stages|life stage]] (except for [[Life stages (pet)|pets]]). When a Sim reaches the end of their [[adult]]hood, they die as if they were elders. There is no known reason for this age not to be present in the game, since they exist in the other two ''[[The Sims Stories|Stories]]'' games.
* If a Sim's life stage is changed to elder using [[Package editor#SimPE|SimPE]], the Sim will not be playable and not viewable in-game, but will still exist in relationship panels, memories, and households, so if a household that contains a baby, toddler, child, or pet has an adult that was turned into an elder via SimPE, that household will still be playable since the game still considers that adult is alive and present, just not viewable nor playable.
** It is still possible for a Sim turned into an elder using the above method to visit households and [[community lot]]s, although they cannot be interacted with. These Sims look nearly exactly the same, but they have the elder walking animation, indicating that the code for that life stage is still present in the game.
** Using a third party mod object called the [[InSimenator]], Sims can be set to the Elder life stage and are playable, though it's unknown if this has any negative effects to the game.
* Oddly, nearly every pre-created Sim in the game has their facial structure broken when aging up to adult or elder, even if they don't use any features of the broken face templates.
