Hilary Duff in EA's The Sims 2 Pets

The cute and cuddly The Sims 2 Pets is coming on October 17, 2006 as an expansion for the PC game and a brand-new gaming experience for the DS, Gamecube, GBA and PS2. Hilary Duff, who isn't just a dog-lover, she's also a Sims fan, teamed up with EA to help design new dog tricks and to put herself and her dog Lola into the game! She won't be appearing on the GBA version, but she'll be hanging out at Central Town Park in the other versions.

Here's what Hilary had to say about The Sims 2 Pets: "I've logged hundreds of hours playing The Sims games, so I jumped at the chance to be in The Sims 2 Pets. I love creating Sims characters and guiding them through life, designing their houses and then blinging them out with cool furniture. Now, in The Sims 2 Pets, EA has combined two things I really enjoy - pets and The Sims!"
