Attention: if you like pets and video games, what we're about to tell you will interest you greatly. At the recent «Electronic Arts» conference at Gamescom 2017, Europe's major video game fair, attendees were able to see a new trailer for Need for Speed Payback, the latest installment in the franchise currently being developed by Ghost Games, as well as FIFA 18, among others. There was also news about a legendary game: The Sims.
The Sims is surely the most representative franchise of DLC in its purest form. Each numbered installment has featured a very long list of additional content that has forced fans to keep paying every so often — something being exploited even more in the current fourth installment. In fact, it is usual to spend around 60-70 euros, plus another 20-30 for the season pass.
The figures speak for themselves. As of today, owning the game and having all the additional content packs (no fewer than twenty-one: twelve accessory packs at 9.95, five content packs at 19.95, and four expansion packs at 39.95) means having spent or wanting to spend 428.90 euros.
Well, in its next installment, The Sims 4 will receive a new expansion: Cats & Dogs. This means that dogs and cats of all kinds will arrive in The Sims 4 on November 10. Thanks to this, players will be able to enjoy the companionship and surprises these pets will offer their Sims, as well as the new creation tool, with which they will be able to create and design their ideal pet. To do so, they will have a wide variety of breeds, customization options, and accessories at their disposal. In addition, each pet will have a unique personality, so there will be no possibility of two being alike —more or less like in real life.
As Lyndsay Pearson, the game's executive producer, stated: «The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs offers fans some of the most adorable and charming pets ever seen in The Sims. From dogs and cats to puppies and kittens, the new tools for customizing pets are so flexible and powerful that players will be able to create the pet of their dreams». And enjoy them in their virtual lives just as they do in real life —in the case of those who have pets.
This new edition of the social simulation video game series, The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs, will go on sale on November 10 and, just one week later, the game will arrive on PS4 and Xbox One. Without a doubt, thanks to the announcement of this new expansion, excitement for the game's release has skyrocketed. The possibility of having pets in the game, giving them personalities, and defining their traits is highly appealing both to fans of the game itself (who see that the Sims' possibilities remain infinite, even though it may seem that there is nothing left to do or invent) and to those who also love pets.
An interesting idea that we wanted to share. Because we know that there are also many «gamers» among ARISTOPARENTS. That's why some time ago we prepared this feature, in which we talked about the successful combination of cats and video games. If you haven't read it yet, now is the time!
