    I'm not sure if anyone's mentioned this yet but I gave these ideas in another Pets thread.
    -Exotic pets. You'd need to to pay a lot of money and and have an action where you fill out forms and send them via mail to get them legally. Cool exotic pets could include large lizards, chinchillas, sugar gliders, hedgehogs, etc.
    -Dog parks as a new lot type. Pet owners would go to this lot over a normal park when they want their pets to meet others of their species. Your pet would remember what pets they got along with and the ones they didn't.
    -Shelters. This could either be a new lot type or a job (which I hope could be active) If it was a retail-style lot type, then you would get two types of customers (the ones who bring pets in and the ones who intend on buying) You'd have to manage both of these types of customers while also making sure the dogs were clean and healthy.
    -Photography. At the moment, we don't have family photos and I really wish we did. Right now, we can only take pictures of two adults or two kids with the photo studio object. Maybe, we could finally get family photos with the added addition of being able to include 1-2 pets that could sit in front of the person/people/family or have certain interacting poses with them in photos.

    Those with the added addition of the careers and other features past posts have mentioned, and I think we've got a really worthwhile EP.

    I would like to see Puppies and Kittens. But I don't think they should be as tiny as they were in TS3 Pets for console. You could barely see them! Um... Dog Parks are a must. The digging skill. Dogs being able to fetch their sim a date. Cats being able capture ghosts and eat birds and fish. Pet Adoption Centers are a MUST! Maybe some more careers that have to do with pets like being a Vet, Obedience Trainer, Circus Performer. That's all I can think of at the moment...

    I would like pets to be more like they were in Sims 2. I did not like them being playable characters that took up a slot in the household in the Sims 3. I realize others feel differently, so if there are more who like them playable, I wouldn't want to stand in their way; I just found it more realistic for my sims to have to try to "figure out" what they needed like in real life rather than being able to click on them to see.

    I like it both ways. Being able to play them was cool so I could control stories but, I've learned that me having too much control I control every micro second and it's not fun. So maybe we could have the option to choose like in the gameplay options menu or something...?

    YES but not as many as there were in the sims 3 pets and you should be able to keep them as pets ... maybe a new world will be in order and there should be a big park where you can take dogs to walk around and play with them and a big forest area and options to look for animals and there should be fox Burroughs and stuff !

    Aside from all the different types of pets I think it would cool to add a Veterinarian job. The Go To Work kind of job like a Doctor, Police, and Scientist.

    Dunno what everyone else have written, but I would LOVE, LOVE, looooove for EA to avoid the playable-pet disaster from Sims 3. I just loathed that. How was it in Sims 2? Can't remember, but I would love for them none-the-less to avoid for us to have to actually PLAY pets. I want to keep them but not play them!

    I think in the sims 2 you couldn't play as your pet unless you used a cheat.

    I'd love to see cats and dogs!!! I think it would also be cool if you could get them as babies and watch them age up, and even celebrate their birthdays. Adding in outside animals would be pretty cool too, like lizards and snakes for Oasis Springs, squirrels and bunnies for Willow Creek and Windenburg. I think adding in animals for each of the worlds would be cool. Pet stores to buy pets from would be awesome, so would be going to a breeders house and picking out a pet. I also think an animal shelter would be cool since you could go adopt the stray animals.

    Create-a-Pet would also be cool to me to bring it back. Same with animal traits!! I also think different breeds of animals, like with dogs an example would be a Pomeranian or German Shepard, to add to the variety of how the pets would be. Bringing minor pets back would be amazing too, along with bringing farm animals into the mix. With farm animals you could have farms and famers and raise live stock, which seems pretty cool. If that was added, I'd love to see cows, pigs, sheep, horses, chicken and roosters would be the bomb to add, farm cats and dogs, goats, and a llama ;) . It would be fun (in my opinion) to be able to raise farm animals on a farm and collect milk or wool from them, and then with the items you can collect you could sell at a farmers market. Of course, no actions that would raise the rating from T to M.

    Something I just thought about too: along with the mention of having neighborhood animals, like the lizards and squirrels for certain worlds, it would be pretty cool to add in deer that can roam freely, mostly at night and eat plants in sims gardens!!! Bears in Granite Falls and lots of deer and other nature and wildlife animals would be awesome :p Still: no actions that would raise it from T to M, as mentioned in my post above ^^

    I'm hoping for a Pet Store Venue with a new Lot Type Pet Store. I want to be able to buy Pet Supplies and Pets from the store especially small pets like snakes,birds,turtles,lizards,hamsters,gerbils and rats.

    Also if they can fit it in a Zoo our sims can go to and farm animals. I'd love to see llamas as pets.

    I loved the Pets in Sims 3, and the Sims 4 feels incomplete without them. I'd also like to see a Farming EP. I had "farms" in Sims 3 with horses, the chicken coop, and a garden, but it would be really cool to have the option of keeping sheep, goats, pigs, cows, etc. I'd love the option to have dogs and cats "help" with farming tasks too- how cool would it be to have a Border Collie herding sheep, or have a cat keeping your barn free of rodents? Of course, to have a farm, you'd need to be able to keep more than, what was it, six? animals per household as well.

    As far as cats, dogs, and horses, I really liked all the different breeds in Sims 3, and the ability to customize them, but the custom coat color/pattern tool was really frustrating. Being able to kind of "paint" markings directly onto the pets would be so much easier. I hope all the breeds of cats, dogs and horses are back and even more like their real-life counterparts- I'd love to have more options as far as size, especially for dogs, and I'd really like to see more options with altering body shape, so that Corgis and Dachshunds and Basset Hounds (etc.) have the appropriate length-to-height ratio, for example.

    I think they could do without strays, aside from bogging down the game, it was just depressing- I remember seeing a stray cat outside in Sims 3 once and just as I was about to send a Sim out to interact with it, try to give it some food, Death showed up. Uggggh the feels.

    Pet-related jobs would be great too- aside from farming as a career option, a veterinary clinic, grooming salon, a retail store specifically for pet-related items...

    Also, it was cool in the Sims 3 that you could stop by a neighbor's house when they had animals available, but it would be nice if, when your pets have had litters, you could have the option to set your own household as having pets for adoption, so your neighbors could come by and inquire, and you could choose whether to let them adopt a puppy or kitten from you.

    * Very interactive birds
    * Class pets
    * Wild animals and strays to be varied depending on the world - I want foxes, raccoons, etc. that you can interact with in Granite Falls, but lizards in Oasis Springs
    * More outdoorsy careers
