Pets also comes with wildlife, but they cannot be added to households. There are new professions for sims such as 'Horse Handler'. This also extends the maximum amount of sims in a household from 8 to 10.

A user can have up to 6 pets in one household. Dogs can swim in swimming pools, but they can not drown, as pets can only die by old age. Sims up into their teenage years can ride horses. They can breed with both unicorns and horses. They can set things on fire, teleport, curse or bless sims. Unicorns, if found, in the game are magical and can be added to a sim's household. Sims can also play with laser pointers for playing with cats. Every pet will have its own special needs. The expansion comes with new rabbit holes, as well as old rabbit holes with new designs. In the Limited Edition, the town also comes with a pet store. The new town comes with every building in the base game, as well as new stores and shops. In Pets, there is a new town called Appaloosa Plains. Like in previous expansions for The Sims games, this expansion introduces pets such as cats and dogs and, for the first time, horses into the game, however only the PC expansion pack has horses. The Sims 3: Pets is the fifth expansion pack for The Sims 3 on PC and Mac, and is the second console game in the series.
