Try to make sure enough meals are dispensed each day. This can save your Sim a lot of time if they're single. If you have multiple animals, you can buy an automatic food dispenser and set it to refill every x hours. Fill a bowl with food for $5 (found under the kitchen tab in buy mode) and they'll eat when they're hungry. Pets seem to need to eat about once a day. A box will appear in the notification panel that tells you exactly what the pet needs. You also have the option of clicking the pet, selecting 'pet care' and 'what's wrong'. You won't see them directly, but the pet will tell you very plainly what's wrong if you pay attention to the social cues that appear over its head. ![]() Pets have all the same needs that Sims do. Interaction with Pets doesn't increase Charisma, because they don't know whether you're being a dork or not. You can learn a pet's traits by using the Get to Know social on them, found under the friendly menu. While a guide to what these do is forthcoming, it's worth noting in a basics-of-pets guide. Some of them are useful for Sims, too, such as having a dog capable of searching. Pet TraitsĮach pet can have up to 3 separate pet traits, all of which will impact their autonomous choices and behaviors. There's a stray named Mayor Whiskers - including tophat - that wanders the town of Brindleton Bay whom you can adopt. A few treats and pets go a long way to securing an animal's friendship. Get to know them a bit and befriend them, and once you're at 'good friends', you can invite them into the household under the friendly menu. When you meet a stray animal while out and about in the neighborhood, you can also adopt them that way - which is free. When you're done, talk to the animal welfare worker and select, 'end adoption evaluation'. Most breeds seem to have a trait they all come with, such as German Shepherds being smart. You may not want a stubborn dog, for they're hard to housebreak. You don't have to befriend them, and it seems you can adopt more than one. You can use 'get to know' on them, learn their traits, and decide which of them you'd like to keep. There you can opt to pay $200 to have an animal care worker visit your home and show off up to three animals. You'll find the option to adopt a cat or dog under the 'services' menu on your Sim's phone. Getting a Pet Adopting a Cat or Dog Adopting a Ghost Cat from the Brindleton Bay Pet Cemetery (see bottom of guide) Despite the differences between the two species and their behaviors in reality, a lot of what goes into caring for them is the same when it comes to owning pets in The Sims 4. Caring for them is not much different than in reality - feed them, go to the vet, provide them love and make sure they're happy. ![]() Sims can have fun with pets, build relationships with them, and enjoy socializing with their companion animals. This should help newer players to understand how to take care of a pet and the realities of owning one. I say that as a pure gameplay guide writer, because it's not exactly easy to write about how owning pets works in terms of gameplay. Owning a cat or dog in the Sims 4 Cats and Dogs Expansion doesn't add major gameplay changes mechanics-wise, they're just a great household addition.
