Hilary Duff To Be In Sims 2 Pets

Electronic Arts is pleased to announce a partnership between two international phenomena! Multi-platinum, chart-topping recording artist/performer/actress/designer/philanthropist/businesswoman, Hilary Duff, has partnered with Electronic Arts and its critically acclaimed, best-selling, groundbreaking video and PC game franchise, The Sims, to make her inaugural video game debut.

Through this partnership, Hilary and her beloved Chihuahua, Lola, will appear in The Sims 2 Pets games releasing on October 26 for the PlayStation 2 computer entertainment system and as a PC Expansion Pack* to the original PC game, The Sims 2.

“I’ve logged hundreds of hours playing The Sims games, so I jumped at the chance to be in The Sims 2 Pets,” said The Sims aficionado Hilary Duff. “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 of my favourite things—pets and The Sims—it’s my ideal game!”

“Hilary was the perfect partner for The Sims 2 Pets - not only is she a huge animal lover, but she is also a fan of The Sims who has been playing for years!” exclaimed Rod Humble, executive producer for The Sims division of Electronic Arts. “Hilary’s expertise made her a dream to work with and she was involved in every step of the process, from creating the Hilary and Lola characters to designing some of the tricks the dogs can do in the game.”
