How many expansion packs are there going to be for The Sims? Why don't they come out with The Sims 2? All you get in this expansion pack is the ability to control pets, and a couple of other things. By the way is a great idea. But, you pay $25 for this expansion pack. The gameplay is the same just you get pets (big deal), same graphics, same sound/music, Above average replay value. Get this game if you are a big fan of The Sims, if not they don't bother.
