Can't find/build the pet store.

[Forsaken Wolf]

As title says, I've downloaded the pet store from the website but I can't find it anywhere nor build it, any idea how to fix this?

I am assuming you own the Limited Edition of Pets expansion that was only available before Pets itself was released back in 2011. I am assuming it is downloaded from The Sims 3 Store but I might be wrong because I have never owned a Limited Edition of any pack. If it is a TS3 Store download, you need to install it with the launcher, and the pet store community lot should be available in the Edit Town menu where you can place the lot anywhere you want.

However this is an assumption that you are talking about the official pet store that is released by EA, if you are talking about something else I have no idea.

Quite a few players (I wasn't one of them) were given the pet store even though they didn't have the Limited Edition EP due to some other mistake with store accounts being corrected at the time.

But from what I understand, we aren't missing much. It's a pretty boring lot with the same pet supplies you can get from Build/Buy, a cash register that doesn't really work right, and I think some small caged animals like reptiles and rodents that are also available elsewhere. Or at least that's how it's been described to us.

I have the same problem, I bought the Sims 3 pets from steam recently, does that mean I do NOT own/get the pet store?

Pet Store was a pre-order award. So there is no pet store unless you pre-ordered the game on Origin before its release date which is October 18, 2011. As igazor said it is not really necessary to have that lot. You are fine without it.

Edit: Was Origin even a thing back in those days? .p
