Random neighborhood pets will sometimes wander into your yard, which is great. They might even have "accidents" on your property, which is funny. The problem is with clockwork regularity in which they piddle in the very corners of your lot. In the time-compressed world of the Sims, walking over to the corner of your yard, cleaning up the mess, and walking back can basically kill a whole evening. It quickly gets frustrating; wouldn't playtesting have shown that? Also, neighborhood pets won't move out of the way of traffic. They don't get run over, but the cars won't go around them. One time my Sim was stuck for six simulated hours in his driveway because a puppy wouldn't step aside and let his bus through. Frustrating!  I waited for SIX HOURS for that puppy to move. Here, Kitty Kitty But like the frustrations of owning a real pet, these nuisances aren't enough to take away from the core game, which remains very fun. The addition of bigger neighborhoods and pets to interact with makes a huge impact on your game world. Of all the expansions, Hot Date and Unleashed give you the most bang for the buck. In either case, they add a great deal of interactions to the core game while also expanding your playground with bigger neighborhoods or downtowns to explore. If having your Sims kick around plastic pink lawn flamingos is beginning to lose its luster, and the $30 price tag doesn't discourage you, The Sims Unleashed is a great way to breathe new life into a classic game. •
