The Sims 3: Pets

The focus of the game is the addition of pets for the sims to manage. It adds cats and dogs as new playable characters that the user can control, not including animals from other versions. Each pet can be customized much like human sims and have their own set of needs, traits, and personalities. A new mysteries system allows the user to complete quests around town to discover information about the history of the town.

Just like the console version, players have access to karma powers they can use to manipulate the sims and the environment. For the pets, it allows the user to transmogrify a pet to make it human, along with the ability to fill all need bars or introduce a disaster. Kinect support for the Xbox 360 version also allows the user to use voice commands to control certain aspects of the game.
