Players will also be able to teach their pet new tricks, take them for a romp in the park, outfit them with new pet accessories and even give them a job. As in real life, the Sims’ pets require care and training. A neglected cat with an urge to scratch might claw up your new couch and leaving your dog unattended near a freshly planted flower bed probably isn’t wise.
