Small Pets Game Pack

There was a survey around in 2017 for The Sims 4 future content packs, and small pets was one of them. What happened to this one? And yes I know My First Pet SP exists and happened around a year after this survey, but that didn't have all the features this survey suggested it could have.

The Sims 4 – Small Pets
Sims who long to own a pet but lack the space to accommodate them will love The Sims 4 Small Pets. Adopt a wide variety of new small animals, teach them tricks or even breed them to unlock rare specimens. Earn simoleons by building your own pet shop with adorable creatures and their accessories!

Adopt new animals – Have your sim adopt a new pet and take care of them. Your sim can choose between a talkative bird, a mischievous ferret, an adorable guinea pig or a furtive reptile.
New breeds and tricks – Teach new tricks to your pets, like how to say new expressions, or “go fetch an object”. Create your own rare species with distinct looks and unique personalities.
Build a pet shop – Create your own pet shop and put animals up for adoption to earn some simoleons. Sell animal habitats, pet food and even toys for their entertainment!

I wish we could still get this GP :love:<3 would you buy it if it had all of these features and maybe some more?

    I’d love some new pets, ferret, birds, lizards, snake, tarantula, etc. and I would like a pet shop too. I would like the Pets to work with the parenting pack, like my first pet stuff does, I actually love my first pet stuff, but we do need many more pets.

    From what you listed I would not buy it. If a pack like this added in nice saltwater fish tanks with high quality detailed fish natural deco and good lighting I'd buy it. At least at this point don't find the pets they added fun to interact with they're just there, but fish tanks would add so much to my homes and restaurants and justify a purchase.
    Sims 4 went from "You Rule" to "One of the stories we want you to tell"

    I would definitely get a pack with that description! I miss not having pet shops, and I would love more small pets. We now have a lot of outdoor animals, so we could do with more indoor pets, especially for kids. I really like the My First Pet stuff pack, but I think there’s a lot of potential to do something really fun with a game pack. Now that we know there’s plenty more of TS4 to come, I’m hoping they’ll remember this idea.

    I'd love a pet shop too, not necessarily to buy pets, but rather pets supplies. Upgrade parts for the aquariums, vitamins and minerals for fish, bird seeds for the bird feeder station, cat food and litter, some comfier looking pet beds, horse hair shampoo, treats, toys and wellness supplies.

    It's maybe just me, but I could happily fill my game with plenty more animals. :)

    @ULIBABA66 I would like your idea in the form of a pet shop. Like @crocobaura said. Something we don’t have. I think there was a pet shop in Sims 2 and I used to like buying pets this way.

    Also a dog training centre to teach skills and pet social bonuses.

    Unplayable animals, too. The fact that even horses are unplayable and take up a household slot anyway is crazy. It's a major reason HR is way down on my list of packs to buy, if ever. You'd think they would have at least increased the number of slots, considering we already have unplayable cats and dogs taking up space. What is the point of these unplayable pets? They may as well all be objects like goats and chickens; at least those don't use up household slots.

    I got a mod that adds stray cats and dogs to all worlds so my sims outside of Brindleton can befriend a cat or dog without it pointlessly taking up space in the household.

    If they ever make the pets playable, maybe we could have a sort of secret life of pets type of gameplay with friendships, adventure and mischief. My sims could have a cat burglar.

    I think the "non-playable" pets are the best decision in TS4. I like them much more than their TS3 ancestors.

    That wasn't my idea, by the way. I copy pasted the text from an old Sims 4 DLC survey from 2017, so the text is not mine.

    Okay 👍.

    I still like the idea.
