Electronic Arts Inc. said on Thursday that the likenesses of actress and recording artist Hilary Duff and her pet Chihuahua Lola will make their video game debuts in "The Sims 2 Pets."



“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 things I really enjoy – pets and The Sims”, said multi-platinum, chart-topping recording artist, actress, fashion designer, and philanthropist Hilary Duff.

On 20 October, The Sims 2 Pets will be released for Sony PS2 and Nintendo GameCube, and as a PC expansion pack for The Sims 2. A Nintendo DS version will appear at the end of October. Hilary Duff’s appearance will only last until 31 December.

In Sony’s PS2 and the Nintendo GameCube, Hilary Duff and Lola will visit the Town Center, where players may run in to her and interact with her.

In the Nintendo DS version, players will find her Central Park, while she will be a fully playeable character in the PC expansion pack.

Versions for Game Boy Advance and for the PSP will follow in November and December, with a mobile version rounding out the package in December.
