I get the feeling the fish and sofa will not be safe. But more funky slippers.
And the dog kicking in his sleep looks so adorable in the video.
And show jumping horses!

So anyone else excited?

I really like the inclusion of horses. I see certain storytellers using that to their benefit. That clown fish bit was pretty funny. I see these pets have more personality in this one. So I say I'm excited about it. Though I've been excited about just getting the damn base game already. =)

I'm so excited for Pets!

Cannot wait for my sims to finally have a canine or feline companion. Also the horses will be really cool to see too, considering I have one in RL. lol
Think I'll lash out and buy the Limited Edition.

Whatst he difference with the limited edition?

[jennifer]

Normally they include some exclusive content that's about it. I haven't yet been able to find out any info on the Limited Edition.
I a bit of a collector when it comes to sims stuff so if they release a limited edition then I normally snap it up.

Hmm I'm excited. My poor computer is not.
I may have to get a new machine to run all my Sims3 stuff.

A new trailer. Pause it at 1.44 and there is a medley of shots, and I'm pretty sure in one the cat is drinking from the toilets.
Plus the first ghost pics, and a very shocking death scene.
There's quite a few funny bits in it. A very fetching poodle which you can imagine Katie Price (Jordan) wanting.
Plus they proper breed aswell even the horses. So cute the little foals.

This looks extremely promising. Wish I could still play my TS3...but...yeah. Maybe I'll get 13pumpkin to get it so I can play on her processor. WAHAHAHA!

[MDPthatsme]

So how IS everyone liking Pets?

[jennifer]

Omg, I can't even tell you how much I am enjoying Pets. lol

Firstly, having it actually installed with out any problems was a total shock to me. The trouble I've had previously with TS3 EP--holy crap!
A blogger friend said to spawn a new Sims 3 folder, then slowly add back in your Cache files, mods and finally enabling your CC. This worked wonders!!

I was skeptical about the horses but they are amazing! So life like and I'm super excited that we can now build a proper ranch with proper stables etc.
I'm still exploring the new hood but so far I love the landscape of Appaloosa Plains. The wildlife is pretty cool too and the fact that out sims can interact with them is quite funny!

Still yet to create a dog or cat for my sims. I always try to create my own RL pets first but I take way too long to perfect them. lol

Definitely a thumps up for this EP!
