Electronic Arts has sent out a survey asking Simmers about their opinions for potential features that might arrive with a possible Expansion Pack – The Sims 4 Pets!
SimTimes.de just recently got this official survey with the following content:
The last survey we got for The Sims 4 was in August 2015. This Survey tackled many ideas for the game except for Pets.
You can join the discussion with other Simmers about this topic HERE!
Early 1st April joke? Who knows
Definatly not! pets are something that comes as expension since sims 1
How to take this survey!!!??
I’ll be more than happy when we get Pets. I couldn’t enjoy Sims 3 Pets due to my hardware at the time (Sims 4 art style has ruined 3 for me!) but I really enjoyed the one for Sims 2.
I’m assuming they’re releasing this survey prior to its development, so I’m still hoping we get family focused content (and toddlers) before Pets. I need the gameplay we have now developed and expanded, not pets to distract me.
I love Sims 4 but it doesn’t hold my attention for long enough in its current state. But it’s okay, because I can make popcorn. 🙂
Just wondering when it is defo coming out because it still say August 2015 and we are in 2016 so please get back to me people
They said the last survey we got was in 2015. Pets was confirmed to not being worked on right now, so they probably won’t be out until late 2017 at the earliest, or 2018. 🙂
Ugh it’s awful to think it’ll be another TWO YEARS before they add pets. Seriously. It’s utterly ridiculous. They should be working on the good stuff instead of the junk they’re currently releasing. I would’ve gladly taken restaurants in two years, that’d be more than fine. But I want pets, like, now.
i agree with annoyed pet lover! I want pets soooo much!!!! restaurants can wait. My sims need to have pets!
Same, ugh. Pets are way cooler than restaurants.
Looks like im playing sims 2 pets for the next 2 years
Pets I love this need somemore new expansion, like toddlers and season also more and better clothes for sims 4 and hairstyles to also we need a car expansion pack in the sims 4 also. I love playing all the sims I have mostly all of them iam a huge fan of the sims 2,3,4. I also thing they should let us put as many mods in the game without messing up.
Chill. I agree I would like those things as well, but understand it takes time and can’t happen all at once, and sometimes it just can’t happen. And that’s completely understandable because they’ve done great work with each Sims game (1,2,3, and 4). I would just hope you’d be more appreciative. Sorry if I’m coming off as aggressive, I don’t mean to.
This would be so fantastic! I’ve never gotten a chance to play with sim pets, even though they’ve had them in the past. I LOVE the idea of being able to create them in CAS, with different breeds and whatnot. Hope this happens soon!
where’s my survey?? lol
Yeah I was surprised I didn’t see it in my inbox! XD
If we get pets, I’d love to see farm animals (like goats, sheeps, pigs, chickens, ducks etc.) but these animals would be best non-playable.
Awesome idea!! i’d love to have farm animals too, plus it would be different
That actually would be an amazing idea!! I have built farmhouses and all, but it’s not the same without some animals around.
Pets would be great, but if you added Toddlers with Sims 4 Pets ep that would be awesome!
Really excited, the Pets is one of the highest wants on my list for the Sims 4 other then the tray importer coming back
I like how the sims 4 is bringing back pet careers from the sims 2 ahhhh
This is potentially exciting, though the description sounds a lot like Sims 3 Pets. Though I’ll admit I don’t know what they could do to make pets any better or different from Sims 3…! Having pet jobs again would be nice too.
Well, the Pet Tool will be mire in depth.
New furs, animals, breeds of animals.
New jobs for pets and more Skills. The above is only a teaser, they won’t give actual details.
How to take this survey???
Is this real lol because if so my dream came true
Excited just to know we are getting pets.Lots of posibillities for them.Would like to run a pet shop for them.Animal parks and play days would be fun.we could have vets,groomers,and trainers.New collections and a new town too! Would like to see some farm animals throwed in too.chickens for eggs and cows for milk,then we could improve our baking and cooking maybe.give us pets then make us a farm life stuff pack lol, I wouldn’t mind a zoo too or circus lol I say bring it on!!!
I love the idea of a veterinarian career! I also hope cows and chickens are in here too, since they were in ts3 store. The farm life stuff pack sounds really fun too!! And it sounds like there are pet parks, it says ‘animal friendly venues’? But who knows what it could mean!
Would love Pets in the Sims 4…..Hope you guys (EA) decide to add this expansion pack. Can’t wait to see what’s next
i liked how the pets where in sims 2, they get babies together grown up etc you know sims 2 so you know what i mean, but i also liked toddlers in sims 2 there where more states from baby to grown up
I hope so so so much this is coming soon! Even though I love The Sims 4 dearly, I hate how there is barely anything to do with kids and family in general! I don’t really play the game for the “adult” lifestyle, I love the family aspect. But, Pets is definitely a step in the right direction! I think it will be a awesome family addition. 🙂
What about rabbits, hamsters, giunea pigs, there should be small animals like that too
YES! I AGREEEEE! Hamsters TOTALLY need to be added 😀
OMG i am sooooooo waiting for this one to happen. I hope it wil come before my vacation, than it would be absolutely great!!!
I agree with some of the people here – i would love a farm expansion pack and can have non playable farm animals with a farm career track. its different and i dont really care for playing the pets as a character. Also my sims 3 pets were glitchy A.F.
SAME omg. The eyes were bug eyed and the furs were funky.
I wish they would add chickens along with the rest of the pets!
i think it would be good for some people. but sims is about you not your pets
Actually sims is about Similation hence the SIM. This way, people can simulate being a pet. Its no about you. If it was about it’d be called Yous not Sims.
With this potential EP, new skills can come along with it! The Equestrian skill, Farming skill, Animal Training skill, and potentially a new aspiration: Animal Whisperer. I can already see it!
Maybe a rabbit pet can also be an animal (non playable). Like the butterflies in the worlds, they can hop around and you can catch one! Same goes for like ‘stray’ or spawned townie dogs and cats.
With the way the The Sims is truly listening to what we want and how to make the game realistic more than it already is, and action to walk the dog is truly incredible. Because. Dogs.
The survey is randomly sent out to simmers, that’s what the email said when it was released. ☺️
Honestly im not too much of a growing animal. I would prefer more supernatural creatures to make the game more varied and more “adventurous.”
Of course, if they followed the ideas of the sims 2 IN THEORY with animals dedicated expansion should also get the werewolf (and I would be very happy).
I would really like it better to exploit the ideas, are very unhappy about get together. They could better exploit the ideas.
If you were to go out pets I’d like childeren also special animals, that you can not buy or create but only finding. For example in the enchanted glade could be the unicorn, in the oasis springs mine could be a magic bat or a wolf with powers or even a dragon. And why not, an animal alien to find in Sixam.
In short, what I mean is that the game is so flat ..! I want something that put the pepper in the game.
I would not mind in this regard a dedicated to the expansion of city life, with a scenario similar to Bridgeport and the band (perhaps also including the singer this time -.-).
I totally agree!
I totally agree!
I just wanna my toddlers back before thinking about pets. .-.
Farms. I want farm animals. I want a vet career with house/farm calls. They do pets, over and over. We buy it over and over. But some of us have been waiting a long time for functional farm/homesteading stuff.
i agree, that career would be so cool!
I agree
This. This is exactly what I’m waiting for, my personal sim has been jobless since purchase because there’s no vet career. As an animal lover and someone who hopes to be a vet one day, I’ll be a lot more than disappointed if these features aren’t in the EP. It should be called Sims 4 Animals.
I think the sims 4 is a better game than the sims 3 for countless reason, but a lot of things are still missing… In April 2016 we still haven’t got toddlers, seasons and lot of other stuff that makes this game my favourite of ever! TS4 should be a life simulator, how could it be if it’s always summer, if newborns become children just jumping out of their crandles, if teenagers are sooooo similar to adults but with too much restrictions?
I’ve always loved pet EP, in TS3 it was my favourite EP after season and supernatural but in this fourth chapter… I don’t know I would maybe give priority to something else.
Anyway, it would be grate if pets could get their own job, if sims could become vet and if there would be more animals than just dogs, cats and horses…
I can’t see the continue button, someone please help!
I desperately want new pets!!! {And toddlers, and seasons} I love the suburban aspect of having a family with a pet.
I really want EA to add bunnies and hamsters, oh and maybe tortoises and turtles. It would be so adorable to have the bunnies and hamsters walk around your world. If they add sheep, goats, and maybe wolves, it would be more of an adventure. Maybe the male goats could head butt you if you go near their young.
Please, oh please, please, please make this expansion by June 21 2016. That’s when I’m out of school, Summer Va-ca. Or maybe Ea could do it sometime now? Please!!!!!!~=[,,_,,]:3
I’d love to see pets , farm animals and more . I love sims 4! But slowly losing interest in playing. Lots of cool stuff in sims 3!! But can’t go back since the picture aspect on sims 4 is so much better . Please EA! Tell us if you will be releasing something to do with Pets soon!!!!
Also; would love to see a few more options with building and furniture.
I think pets would be nice…However I WANT TODDLERS! more kids things, cars and garages, I miss being able to customize things, bigger worlds, boats and swimmable lakes, I really just want the sims3 with the build the sims of 4. pets would be nice but to me not as important as other things
I just want the Sims 4 pets to come out, Im dying for it to come out and as soon as it comes out i want to download it. I’m perfectly fine with dogs cats and horses and all the items for each animal. Just let it come out soon ;(
Animals:
I think the normal Dogs, Cats, Horses. But maybe add other animals? Exotic pets for example. Tigers, foxes, wolves.
Oh, and Ponies!
Farm animals too. But make certain ones playable (llamas for example as they are horse like).
With it add in Zoos, Circuses, and Pet Competitions.
With it, add on a toddler stage
As families tend to buy puppies and kittens to grow up alongside their toddlers.
And, maybe, for those of us who like the more ‘wild’ aspect. Have dens placed around the maps for our strays.
Add realistic litters as certain breeds can have up to 11 pups!
Make it MORE realistic, that is the goal of TS4 right?
I agree. I mean, rarely, does a dog have one puppy. And they are trying to make it more realistic. They’ve added transgender options, so would it hurt to make the cat have 6 kittens instead of 2?
that’s a little much…. it breaks my heart putting up the 2 kittens for adoption… and now it would have to be 6 or more? plus remember in the sims 3 how crazy the household got when the pets had babies? I understand your point of view, but maybe they could add on a new “slider” (ik that they dont use sliders anymore in the sims4) to female animals that can customize the amount of babies they can have. So it ranges and all to however the player likes?
YES! i hate that there isent a toddler stage i acculy went back to sims 3 because of it for a little while.
Honesty Pets needs to come out as soon a possible.
The stuff packs are getting out of hand. I couldn’t care less about ice cream machines or monsters under my child’s bed.
Since publication of the Sims 4, we’ve gotten 2 expansions, both with the word “Get” being I’m the title.
What. Is this the new theme?
“Get Pets”
“Get Supernatural”
“Get Seasons”
No. EA needs to “Get Real” And understand that we aren’t looking to get more stuff packs, or even game packs really.
We’re waiting for *expansions*.
Sims Pets has always been apart of the Sims franchise, and pretty early on too.
Whenever I bought sims 3, I bought it WITH the pets expansion. I didn’t care about any of the other ones at the time of purchase. I wanted pets.
Sims 2 was the same.
EA had better:
A.) Give us toddlers. And not lame ones. Not toddlers that just exist. Like the infants.
No. I want to teach my kid how to walk and talk. I *want * to potty training them.
Or
B.) Give us pets. And I don’t know about you guys, but I think we need more pet options.
Horse, dog, cat.
That’s it.
I think we could use other pets too. Some people have things like
Rabbits
Birds
Skunks
Chickens
Bees
Cows
Teacup pigs
And honestly, how ridiculous would it be?
They gave us aliens! Why shouldn’t I be able to have a giraffe?
Yes thank you. You put my exact thought into words.
I absolutely agree!
Well, we have toddlers now so, you all can stop complaining about that!
Can we become vets and breeders?
What about hampsters? I want to buy a hampster for my child sim, but there is no hampster. I want hampsters too. I believe chickens would be cool as hell, and the others too, but not if it’s a “Pet” expansion. If they only give us pets, then give us cats, dogs, horses, hampsters, turtles, rabbits. These are the pets which can be kept more easily than the others (okay, maybe not the rabbit, but when U was a child, we had a rabbit in the suburb, and it was great). Although, I really want an Animals EP, with Zoos, Farms, Circuses, and with other things like that. It would be amazing, and much more realistic.
i really can’t wait for the sims 4 pets, but i also understand it takes time. I think they should add horses ), dogs ,cats guinia pigs, bunnies, farm animals (cows, chickens), what i also like to see is zoo animals but it is not something i need the most, and myabe the should do with the horses unicorns and a pegasus but these are my opion and i hope it comes fast
i really want a farm tow. with LOTS of open land. I also hope there is a Equestrian career. and a dog training career, and even a veterinarian career that is hands on like doctor career from get to work.
you should have a large variety of animal breeds. especially with dogs, cats, even hamsters, and horses (farm animals <3) maybe snakes? it would be cool, i dont know how well it would work with being a pet for a day very well, but it would be cool to have one in a teen boys bedroom. 🙂
pets are great idea and seasons and are what i want added to sims4
I want to have vehicles returning in the sims 4 Pets and have a brand new farming town. The trucks should be able to pull horse trailers and please give us weather as well!
Can we become vets and breeders?
Mutts and pure breds should have health differences, mutts tend to have a stronger immune system.
Everyone has great ideas like farm animals and pegasus’ but I really want a ‘wild’ aspect if pets eventually comes out. Having a pet dog is fun but if you can play as a stray as a main character or as a wild wolf that would be cool. Also if anyone has ever tried playing as a stray or wild animal in the Sims 3 the only animal that can really fend for themselves are cats, because they can kill fish, rodents, bird, and reptiles; dogs can’t do any of that. Which makes having a wild wolf or stray and trying to keep them from starving to death makes it difficult. I think they should make it where dogs can kill things too. Or just make a whole new animal like the wolf and make prey that it can kill and eat. I get that it called ‘pets’ not ‘wild animals’ but it would still add a whole new level to the game.
I think that bringing back basic pets would be good and then there could be a game where it is farm themed
OMG HORSES ARE COMING! I’M SO F*CKING BLESSED!!!!!!!!!!
