Where to get animals in sims 3 pets

LMPs are fish, snakes, iguanas, and other small animals. To get them, simply go into Buy Mode and buy the appropriate home in the pets sort. Not all LMPs can simply be bought outright; some must be hunted or otherwise found in the wild.

Regardless, once you have an LMP, all you really need to do is make sure they are fed and interacted with every day or so. Any LMP in the same room will give a buff, and will help out other meters when interacted with. Still, some lifetime goals or wants revolve around them, and they are quite cheap compared to the high-maintenance pets. Also, LMPs do not count toward the family count limit, so you can have as many as you can afford.

HMPs are comprised of dogs, cats, and horses. Each species brings its own benefits and drawbacks, but all of them take more time and attention than LMPs.

However, unlike previous expansions, HMPs are completely under your control. They will act with free will regardless of your setting in the options screen, but you can order them to do literally anything you want to at any time, even if it goes against their Pet Traits.
