Quick Links
The Sims 4: My First Pet Stuffis a unique pack in that it requires The Sims 4: Cats & Dogs expansion to be installed to take full advantage of all its contents, something no other DLC has repeated. Several items in the pack were also designed to match with those in the pet-themed expansion. This means it can get very confusing to work out which items are included, and how many are accessible if you don’t have the expansion.
To help you understand what is base game compatible, and those items that are unusable without access to pets, we’ve put together this handy guide. It covers all build and buy, and create a sim items. We’ve also included information about the gameplay aspects of the pack to give you a complete overview of My First Pet Stuff.

All Base Game Compatible Build Buy Items
The following items areusable without Cats & Dogs,although the children’s furniture in particular is designed to match with some items included in the expansion, namely a bed and dresser.
Thesmall mammal enclosures come with an animal, and you can choose from a hamster, a rat, a pygmy hedgehog or a bubalus dwarf - which is a voidcritter. Each cage has identical swatches, just the small pet inside differs. You caninteract with the animals in live mode.
