You’ll be excited to hear there are a lot of new real life breeds introduced in The Sims 4 for Cats and Dogs. Because it’s such a rich list you have the option to search your favorite breed through the search bar in Create a Pet. Every breed has their own traits that will automatically be set as the traits or your pet. You can change these if you like. Some breeds come in different color combinations to choose from. If you want to mix breeds you can select the breed mixer on the bottom. This will open up 2 spaces to add the breeds from the list above.

Mixed Breeds & Randomizer

This extra option gives the players a possibility to mix different breeds. You can select 2 different breeds of your pet. It will automatically generate a mixed breed. If you’re not happy with it you can click the randomizer multiple times to create a different outcome of those breeds. I tested it numerous times and after clicking 20 times on that button it keeps giving different outcomes each time.

  1. Will there also be like a non defined breed that you can turn individually in a breed that is not avalible (our dog at home is for example a “Kooikerhondje” wich is a breed from the Netherlands and I’d like to create one)

    1. I remember reading somewhere that you can create a breed from scratch by actually customising its features. So sure yes you probably can create your “Kooikerhondje” 🙂

      I googled it (firstly it’s very cute, even though I’m a cat person) but apparently they are similar to Cocker Spaniels? So you could simply edit a Cocker Spaniel breed?

  2. Aww they still haven’t added a Coton de Tulear, which is a dog breed from Madagascar, and it looks a lot like a maltese. They’re very playful dogs and i think they’re popular at dog shows.

  3. How much size will this expansion pack be?
    I have a crush on these cute things but also worry it may require higher performance and space from my laptop 🙁
