Tips for Buying a Pet in Sims 4

1. Consider your Sim's lifestyle before choosing a pet. Some pets are more high-maintenance than others. If you have a Sim who is always on the go, you might want to consider getting a low-maintenance pet, such as a cat or a fish.

2. Make sure you have enough space for your pet. Some pets need a lot of room to run and play. If you live in a small apartment, you might want to consider getting a smaller pet, such as a hamster or a gerbil.

3. Be prepared to spend money on your pet. Pets can be expensive to care for. You need to factor in the cost of food, water, toys, and vet care.
