The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs Expansion Pack Brings Pets On November 10

EA has announced a new expansion pack for The Sims 4 called 'Cats & Dogs,' and it is exactly what it sounds like. This expansion pack will be available for The Sims 4 players on Windows PC and Mac starting this upcoming November, and it'll bring with it a bunch of dogs and cats for the game. Players will be able to give their Sims a friendly pet (for two) for their daily virtual lives.

The 'Cats & Dogs' expansion pack will bring with it a 'Create a Pet' tool, which is exactly what it sounds like. Users can create their own pets — either a dog or cat or both — with the design they like best. Players can also choose from various breeds or mix multiple ones together, for example.

The game will let players choose their pets' fur designs, to match their existing pets' designs if they'd like, and to even choose from among various personality types. There will also be what EA calls special accessories and outfits, presumably so that the Sims character can match their pet. The various combination possibilities means that every pet can be unique, at least according to the company.

The expansion pack includes the options for choosing puppies and kittens rather than fully grown pets. Sims will need to play with, take care of, and ultimately train their virtual pets, as well, which will help shape their personalities. The expansion will likewise bring a new veterinarian business for Sims to either start their own clinics or get their pets treated.

The expansion will arrive on November 10, and also bring with it a new destination called 'Brindleton Bay.' The location will feature stray pets that can be adopted, as well as destinations for taking pets to play, exercise, or to experience things like a doggy obstacle course. Check out the trailer above to see some of the pets in action.
