In The Sims 3: Pets, pets, like Sims, have six motives instead of eight. Each type of pet has one or two motives that are unique to it. Hunger, Bladder, Energy, and Social remain for all pets. Fun remains for cats and dogs, but is not a motive for horses. The Scratch motive for cats remains, but the Chew motive for dogs is replaced with the Destruction motive. In addition to the four basic pet motives, horses have Thirst and Exercise. In general, there is not much difference in the way these motives are filled in the various games, though some details will vary.
