Perhaps I am biased because I love the beautiful world that was included with the pack, but it’s hard not to be when the world has unique systems for getting to know the locals of the town, live off the land, and befriend animals. Many of us dove into fantasies of the cottagecore life while we were all trapped inside over the pandemic, so this release last year couldn’t have been better timed. If you’ve done them once, you’ve basically seen what they have to offer, but they serve as a nie way to get your sims out there and meeting people or bonding with those they already know! 3.

There are five and I would be lying if I said that doing them every time that you do them they’re going to be completely different. These are spaces where you get to do unique experiences each time that they happen and bring a little more life to the public spaces. The other additions are the way that the nightlife is expanded with the addition of festivals and festival spaces. You can really go to town building yourself a pair of roommates and… is that rug covering the outline of a body? While other packs have had apartments since, it’s never been to the scale of San Muyashino’s apartment based city. The most sparking new addition that comes with this pack was the introduction of apartment living, from small studio to high rise penthouse. If these are what you value, then this is the pack for you. When you pick up this pack, it’s going to be for a few things, living in the city, a handful of new careers, and expanded nightlife. It’s ultimately one of those packs that it’s really going to be up to you to judge if it suits what you want in your games, but if you want to have a pet, this is likely the one for you. However, the items that come with the pack for clothing and homes are wonderful for building the seaside bungalow of your fantasies.

If you’re not into pets, this one likely isn’t going to have much of an impact for you since it’s all about either having a furry friend or being a vet to them for the most part. So, if it’s so controversial, why is it even here? Well, if you want to have pets in your game, this is how you’re getting them! The cats and dogs of the game are very cute and while you can’t directly control them like other sims, that only makes it feel like your typical pet experience, since you’re not going to be able to control a real life pet either. Not to mention that the My First Pet stuff pack that was basically DLC for a DLC didn’t help the reputation of this pack and how some people view it as unfinished. Not to mention, many see it as a downgrade from the pets pack that was released for Sims 3. Those who love it, really love it, but those who don’t connect with the gameplay aren’t going to find much to love here.

That’s the reason it’s taking the fifth spot. Cats and Dogs is one of the expansions that people were asking for like crazy before it released and it is one of the ones that you’re going to want to pick up if you want to add some pets to your game.
