Definitely adds a twist to your simming experience, but basically no more.

I have spent many hours playing the Sims 2, but until my birthday this year, I won't really know what's about to hit me. I've seen the game at work, and I've even created loads of custom content. However, when The Sims 2 Pets comes along, I'll just be all the more happy.

My friend, who happens to share the same name as me, owns this expansion pack. We were playing one night, and she said, "Let's make your family and my family, and we can live in one of those split houses you make!" I happily aggreed, not knowing that she had the Pets.

So, as a talented Simself creator, I went to work creating our families. Down to a T, if I may add. Then she said, "Let's make our pets!" I looked at her like a COMPLETE idiot.

After about 20 minutes of fooling around with the layering effects, I created our pets very well. Her family was leaving for away for about a month, but I managed to play once more before they left.

I cleaned up my Sims 2 laptop, and I made room for the Sims 2 Pets, which will be arriving shortly at my house!

PROS:
- Pet graphics and sounds are amazing!
- Adds an exciting aspect to the game
- Made me want to keep my Sims 2 collection even MORE (I was planning on selling it after Sims 3 came out)
- Gave me a reason to stay indoors on a warm spring day (that and hay fever)

CONS:
- It made my laptop a bit slower (on average, it took about 8.6 seconds longer to load web pages, 15.4 seconds for all programs)
- I could never get time to spend with my pets

Other than that, I'd say that this expansion pack was a GREAT idea!
