Sims 2 pets create a dog

A dog's size affects how long its adult life stage will last. A small dog will live for 25 days as an adult, while a large dog will be an adult for 22 days. Aside from that, small and large dogs are treated the same.

Unlike their counterparts in Unleashed , puppies in Pets are mobile and largely self-sufficient. They can feed themselves, if there is food available, and sleep on pet beds without the help of a Sim or their mother. Puppies can also learn behaviors , so they can be housebroken. However, puppies cannot go up or down stairs without the help of a Sim. If a house is on a foundation , even a well-housebroken pup will need a Sim's help to relieve its bladder.

Also, puppies cannot get jobs or learn commands. Puppies are all the same size, regardless of what size they will be as adults. Dogs are also able to get their own careers. There are 3 pet careers: Show biz , Security , and Service. Dogs have the same needs as human Sims, except they need to chew and they don't care about environment.

Dogs come in two sizes: large and small. Sims can do various interactions with them such as playing, petting or taking for a walk. Dogs can also be sent to explore the surrounding neighborhood by Sims who have achieved level three in the pet training skill.

When done so, the dog will leave the lot and go search mystery boxes that contain various pet toys and collectibles. Dogs will usually become dirty during their explorations, forcing Sims to bath them in order to avoid negative emotions from the smell.

For example, dogs can become interested towards televisions and stare at them for long periods of time during the day, or they can develop a fear towards robot vacuums , making them scared every time the object is on. Dogs will usually sleep on couches and pet beds. Large dogs will require a large pet bed to sleep in, while small dogs can sleep in both large and small pet beds.

Large dogs cannot sleep in normal beds alongside Sims. There is obviously no one "best" combination of pet traits. Even having a Doofus pet has an advantage: they won't fret about things like other animal fights that are going on around them, making them a bit calm.
