The Sims 3 Pets on PS3: Standalone, No Base Game Required

Yes, The Sims 3 Pets on PS3 is a fully standalone game. You do **not** need the base The Sims 3 disc or download to play it.

How It Works

• It includes the **core Sims 3 engine** + **Pets expansion content** on one disc/download.
• You create a household with pets (dogs, cats, horses) immediately—no human-only phase required.
• All base-game features (build/buy, careers, skills, town) are present, but **only pet-related expansion content** is included (no *World Adventures*, *Ambitions*, *Late Night*, etc.).

Differences from PC Version

Should You Buy It?

• Yes, if: You want Sims 3 + pets on console, no PC, and don't care about other expansions.
• No, if: You have a decent PC—get The Sims 3 + Pets + all EPs on Steam/EA App (often <$20 on sale) for the complete experience with mods.

Note: PS3 servers are offline; no exchange, no updates. Single-player only.
