What The Sims: Unleashed is

The Sims: Unleashed is a role-playing (rpg) game developed by Maxis and released in 2002. It was published by Aspyr Media. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on The Sims Engine.

The premise, in the publisher's words

Sims can teach their puppy where to "go," or hire the Pet Trainer character to help with housebreaking. The local Pet Show is the place to display prized animals and impress the judges with obedience, temperament, and tricks. Pets also provide a new way for Sims to make new human acquaintances, as a walk in the park is a good way to meet other pet-friendly neighbors. In addition to canine and feline companions, The Sims: Unleashed also lets Sims purchase parrots, lizards, turtles, and other pet shop companions who may require less constant attention.
