A house is not a home until something is barking at the gate. In Naija Life you can keep a pet: buy one from the Pets section when you shop for your home, and it moves in, wandering round your rooms in 3D. Pets are cheap, and they are one of the quickest ways to lift your Sim’s Fun and Social when the day has been long.
The pets
| Pet | Price | What you can do |
|---|---|---|
| 🐕 Bingo the Local Dog | ₦4,400 | Play together, walk around the street, feed, brush its coat, teach it a new trick |
| 🐈 Mimi the Cat | ₦2,600 | Play together, feed, brush its coat |
| 🦜 African Grey Parrot | ₦7,850 | Teach it Pidgin, feed |
- The dog is “loyal, loud at night, scares away thieves”. Walking it round the street is fun and trains your Fitness.
- The cat “ignores you, then sleeps on your laptop”. The cheapest pet, and an easy mood boost.
- The parrot “will learn your Mummy’s voice and embarrass you in front of guests”. Teaching it Pidgin is almost as much fun as playing with the dog, and it trains Charisma.
