As reported from Aspyr Media's December newsletter, the latest expansion set to the hugely popular The Sims series, The Sims: Unleashed is now shipping:

Great news for Sims fans, The Sims™ Unleashed is shipping for the Macintosh! Mac gamers now have a chance to be a proud parent of a furry friend, well at least a simulated friend, with The Sims Unleashed, the Maxis game licensed from Electronic Arts, is coming to the Mac. Conversion was done by Westlake Interactive.

As fans of The Sims know, there has always been something missing from their virtual neighborhoods... pets. In The Sims Unleashed, players can now add furry friends to their Sims' families. Teach Fido some cool tricks or hire an efficient Pet Trainer to do all of the work. Let your kitties and canines strut their stuff in the local Pet Show. Are you ready for the responsibility?

Visit a pet store and bring home a variety of creatures, from dogs to lizards, your choices are endless. To make room for these furry additions, the Sims community will be equipped with bigger neighborhoods. Forty all-new residential and community lots featuring new homes, lush parks, a hip new café, cool shops and a farmer's market are available for Sims to explore. Visit the local garden store and grow a variety of vegetables in their own garden plots.

Time for a career change? Send your Sims down five new career tracks with 50 new jobs. Enter the world of fashion, take care of the neighborhood’s pets, or run away and join the circus. With 125 new objects, redecorate your Sims' home for the new pet's arrival.
