Maxis has really outdone themselves this time... the Sims have pets!!
When you install the game, there are TWO DISKS which need to be installed, but only the first one is used to play. When the game is installed, you enter to a very different looking neighborhood... it has been expanded! There are several new lots, not just for housing, but also community lots. As there is with most of the expansion packs, they have a quite a few of already created families and houses for you to play with. If you choose to create a family, they have new outfits and heads for you to pick, including some new hair colors! Then, you can move your new sims into their house and begin playing. There are some new walls, floors and furniture for you to decorate you house with, and also some some new ways to landscape. You can enter 'Buy Mode' and buy furniture (which includes pet supplies!) for you new house, or get ready for your new pet. Once you have gotten accustomed to your new house, you can pick up the phone and call a cab to explore the 'Old Town'.
'Old Town' is all of the community lots which you can go to and either buy pets, gardening supplies or even visit a cafe!! After you call a cab, you will see a trolly come and pick you up (there is no fee for going to Old Town!). Then, you will go to a neighborhood shot where you can choose where you wish to go. There are buttons along the top, which bring up arrows, showing you which shops sell what. If you are looking to buy a pet, you can either choose to buy a big pet (dogs/cats) or a small pet (iguana/fish/birds/turtle). Once you are on the lot, you are joined by some neighbors and/or computer created people. There, you can choose to do whatever you like! Keep in mind, when you go to Old Town, everyone in the family goes with (even pets... if you already have one).
When choosing a large pet (dog or cat) in the store, there are little stands with either a cat or a dog playing happily on top. You can choose to play with it or adopt. When you select adopt, you can choose the gender and breed. The computer will then ask you if you are sure you want to adopt a pet, once you have bought your pet, you get to name it (be sure to give your pet a name which will help you to know which gender it is, because if you forget, there isn't a way to find out). Once you are done with buying/naming, you will see your new pet appear at your feet. Then, you can choose to buy supplies for it (toys, collars, treats, etc.). While wondering around the lot with your new cat or dog, you may see a man walking around, with strange clothing on, he is the pet trainer, he offers to train your pet, but for a fee (the fee will grow larger, the more experienced you pet gets). You can either choose to go home with your new friend now, or go to a different lot.
Now, just because it is called 'Unleashed' it isn't all about pets! You can garden too! First, you must go into 'Build Mode' to buy some good planting soil (it's about 65 simoleans). Then, you have to call up the trolley to take you to Old Town, look for a good gardening shop, and go there. There should be large seed racks where you can choose your seeds. You can choose from four different crops (lettuce, green beans, carrots and tomatoes), when you buy the seed packets, you are given five seeds, which is good for five plating lots. Once you have enough seeds, you can go back home to plant. Click on the square of dirt where you wish to plant your seeds. Your sim should walk over to the area and begin to plant (it may seem to take a bit longer compared to the amount of time it takes the sims to do other activities). After your crops have been planted, you must carefully tend your crops, which involves a lot of work (weeding, watering and eventually harvesting). When your plants have grown and are ready to harvest, do so, and the produce will get added to you inventory. You can then either choose to store you plants in one of the new pantry shelves, or sell them.
