Amazon.co.uk Review
The Sims Unleashed, the fifth add-on pack for the biggest selling PC game of all time, allows computing's most popular virtual families to add a range of animals to their households.
The developers say this is the biggest expansion pack to date, and certainly there's quite a bit here for your money. There's a good variety of pets to choose from, and whilst felines and canines are likely to be the more popular options, there's little to stop you adding something more exotic like a lizard to your Sims world. Pets are a fun addition, whether you let them roam or take an active interest in their development.
While pets are the headline attraction, there's actually quite a bit more to discover in this expansion. There are extra locations and there's a new gardening element added, which is passable enough. There's the usual extra bevy of careers and objects brought into play too. There's nothing in The Sims Unleashed to impress non-converts, but it's essential for the completist and offers better all-round value than most Sims add-on packs so far. And you can't help but love those kittens. --Simon Brew
Product Description
In The Sims Unleashed, players can now add furry friends to their Sims' families. An all new expanded neighbourhood featuring parks, pet stores, cafes and markets will give the Sims and their new pets a variety of places to sniff, explore and meet their new neighbours.
For the first time ever, the Sims can visit a pet store and bring home a variety of creatures and accoutrements. Players will make a big splash with the addition of a lumbering Labrador or fickle feline to their Sim family. They can also buy a parrot, turtle, lizard or fish that are fun for the whole family but don't need to be house-trained.
The Sims Unleashed gives players dozens of new social interactions and expands their neighbourhood. Thirty all-new residential and community lots featuring new homes, lush parks, a hip new cafe, cool shops and a farmer's market are available for Sims to explore. Now the Sims can walk their pooch in the park or bring their cat to a café and build their relationships with their neighbours through their adorable animals.
Your Sims can teach Fido where to go themselves or hire an efficient Pet Trainer to do all of the dirty work. Sims can also enter their kitties and canines in the local Pet show. The competition is "dog eat dog," as Sim pets try to impress the Pet Judges for prizes in obedience, tricks and good pet mood.
Also new to The Sims Unleashed is gardening. Your Sims can now grow a variety of vegetables in their own backyard plots using seeds purchased at the local garden store. Proper care of the garden will yield a crop that can be picked and stored in the new kitchen pantry or sold at the local farmer's market. Your new pets will also come in handy as they help chase away the pesky rabbits, gophers, and mice. Don't be surprised if they aren't the only unwelcome animals that come a callin'.
The Sims Unleashed expansion pack adds five new career paths with 50 new and exciting jobs. Sims can enter the exciting world of fashion, become a culinary genius, take care of the neighbourhood's pets as a trustworthy veterinarian, teach others as a noble educator, or simply run away and join the circus. Over 125 new objects for pets and people, dozens of new character skins and an all-new decorator set with a New Orleans French Quarter theme round out this new Sim offering.

If you liked the look of Unleashed, read this first,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sims: Unleashed Expansion Pack (PC CD) (Video Game)
I hadn't even heard that there was a fifth expansion pack on the way until others told me.In the UK, hardly any commercials are shown for things like this and one would need to be a member of the official site to know what was going on. The most useful thing that comes with this is probably the addition of an incredible amount of extra lots and houses, which undoubtedly you would find a use for in a short while. All the focus on the pets was not so pleasing as they do not quite live up to expectations - the inability to control almost anything they do rather spoils it. The farming career that can be pursued at your own pace, at home, can be useful as a part time 'job'. 'Old Town' was rather useful because you cannot always train the pets at home. A couple of tips for all you Sims players: Apart from complete madness going on trying to control certain pets, Unleashed is overall a very good package for your money and certainly better than some others. If this is the first expansion pack you are thinking of buying, do the latter.

The Sims Unleashed,
By 3headedfluffy (Guernsey, Channel Islands) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Sims: Unleashed Expansion Pack (PC CD) (Video Game)
I have just bought The Sims Unleashed, and I think it is defenately worth buying and is for sure one of the best. Before I just had house party, and that was good, but it was made in 2000 and wasn't very up-to-date with the technology. Now the Sims Unleashed features more quality in speech meaning that you can say things which are more precise, for example when you want to greet a person you get a choice in how you want to greet them. Like one of the choices is 'shake hands.'The pets are very clever, and each one has their own personality. Makesure that you like the personality before leaving old town because there is no turning back. When the pets are at home it is bery useful because you can do tricks with them, which in the long run can win you prizes, and it can make the sim happier by putting the social bar on green. If your sim is the only woman/man living in the house, it is very useful to get a pet because they are very usefull for keeping your sim company as for in my case.

Furry Friends- The Sims Unleashed,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Sims: Unleashed Expansion Pack (PC CD) (Video Game)
Yet another expansion in the seemingly endless "The Sims" saga, this one is probably the best. As well as letting your Sims get a playful pal in the house, it also gives each neighborhood many more lots than before. This means more families, more friends and more fun. Also, you can rezone some residential lots to community lots eg: parks, shops, pet adoption centers or restaurants and cafes. This makes this expansion like "The Sims Hot Date" but with pets. Although this expansion is cool on it's own with The Original The Sims, I recommend buying the previous Sims expansions first and installing them in this order: The Sims or The Sims Deluxe edition, The Sims Livin' It Up (Also called Livin' Large)*note Livin' It Up is not required if you have The Sims Deluxe Edition. Then install The Sims House Party, The Sims Hot Date, The Sims on Holiday and finally The Sims unleashed. The reason for this is that the expansions are better when put together, but won't work properly if they are installed in the wrong order.
