Splicer Island is a hidden island that is only visitable in the DS version of this game. It has a few different locations/shops on it, but the main feature is the Splicer Lab, where you can create one of eight pets for your sim to own, communicate with, and take with them around the island.

Locations: - Entertainment Center; - Isle Cabana; - Smoothie Shop; - Splicer Lab; - Sushi Bar; - Zoo

Creating a Pet

Your sim can create one of the eight available pets at the Splicer Lab, through the Create-A-Pet Minigame. Each pet comes in a certain color, and some colors are more uncommon/rarer than others. Pets also have attributes and likes/dislikes when communicating, but all these factors depend on how you play the Create-A-Pet Minigame.

Available types of pets: - Dodo; - Giant Konk Gorilla; - Jackalope; - New World Dragon; - Simosaurus Rex; - Triceratops; - Unicorn; - Velocirooster
