EXCELLENT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First if all, the stories changed to fit the games criteria like most of the children want the pets. You can either adopt, make or buy the pets with many different choices.
Your sims have lifetime wants. If you do achieve one, your sim will be in Platinum all the time.
The game also has some problems like you can't cotrol the pets. You can't even cancel their actions. But thats why you train them to prevent problems.
In the end the game isn't so bad, its GREAT!!!!!
