Looking through the Pets tag on my reblogs tumblr and crying ;-;
So I decided to do a bit of investigating and see if I could estimate when Pets will come out for TS4.
The Sims 1
- Fifth Expansion
- Released in September 2002, 2 years and 7 months after The Sims released
- Added Cats, Dogs, Birds, Fish and Reptiles
The Sims 2
- Fourth Expansion
- Released in October 2006, 2 years and 1 month after The Sims 2 released
- Added Cats, Dogs, Womrats and Birds
The Sims 3
- Fifth Expansion
- Released in October 2011, 2 years and 4 months after The Sims 3 released
- Added Cats, Dogs, Birds, Horses, Rodents, Snakes, Turtles, Lizards, Deer and Raccoons
So it seems most likely that Pets for TS4 will come out sometime around October 2016, if they follow the pattern of the previous games. I would say cats, dogs and birds are a given, as well as some small reptiles/rodents. Horses are what I’m not sure about but I would be very upset if they didn’t add them.
I think the next expansion coming this year will be Hot Date/Nightlife related most likely.
if both were to come out at the same time and i only had money for 1, itd be hot date/nightlife/late night, then pets. mostly because im apprehensive about how theyd make the fur…if itd be clay fur [like the sims hair] or what. im almost bordering not wanting to know honestly. i hope the next we get is city-related tbqh. i need my apartments, skyscrapers and high rises dammit.
If I had to pick between the 2, I’d definitely pick Pets. They just add so much to me. I mean, toddlers I can live without, but Pets I need. They make a family whole for me – it feels like something is missing right now and to me that’s having a little kitty or a couple of dogs running around, causing havoc.
I am very interested in how they’ll look. I think they’ll end up using a mix of clay and fur as even TS2 had some fur effects (always made my cats have huge bushy tails hehe). I can clearly picture horses with clay hair though, I think that would be really cute! I’m just really, really, really hoping they bring horses back. I’m so worried because we don’t have an open world anymore. The only thing that’s giving me hope is that we still had cars in TS2 even without an open world. SIMS 4 HORSES 2K16!!!

It could be a family themed Ep like toddlers or pets due to some clues in the game. I just hope we get rabbits and horses in ts4 pets. And deer etc. omg imagine ts3 and ts2 toddlers but with ts4 emotions, it’s exciting! And horse riding through granite falls !!! I also wonder if cows and sheep and chickens will be added
It could be but I’m not holding my breath for it. Rabbits would be really cute but I would prefer Womrats to make a comeback! Ahh horse riding in Granite Falls would be really lovely.
I AM DYING FOR CHICKENS. We’ve had our own chickens for years but just recently we started hatching our own chicks and omg they’re so cute. I would love, love, love to be able to have chickens in TS4 and run a little farm. But let’s be real, people have been asking for that since TS1 and it still hasn’t come so I’m not expecting it. Though we did get horses in TS3 after people wanted them for years, so I guess it’s possible.
engrampixels That would be nice but I’m not sure about it just because I don’t think they want to make any of the paid content reliant on other paid content. Like, if they made a farm-themed GP I feel like it would have to be linked to Pets somehow and I don’t think that’s what they want to do. Farm content would be amazing though.
