Hilary Duff and Pet Lola to star in The Sims

Hilary Duff, with her beloved Chihuahua Lola, is to make her video game debut in the critically acclaimed video and PC game franchise, The Sims.

“I’ve logged hundreds of hours playing The Sims games, so I jumped at the chance to be in The Sims 2: Pets” Sims fan Hilary gushed about being immortalized in the game.

“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!”

“Hilary is the perfect partner for The Sims 2 Pets – not only is she a huge animal lover, but she is also a Sims fan!” exclaimed Rod Humble, executive producer for The Sims Division of Electronic Arts.

Hilary was heavily involved in the developing the game, Sims makers say. She helped create both her and Lola’s characters and designed some of the tricks which the dogs can do in the game.

Like her owner, two-year-old Lola also barking mad about the game: “Although she’s trying not to let it go to her head, Lola is very excited to make her cameo in The Sims 2: Pets next month!” Hilary says.

Each version of The Sims 2 Pets will utilize Hilary’s likeness differently. In the PS2 and GameCube versions, players may encounter Hilary and Lola playing at the Town Center. In the DS version you’ll encounter Hilary at the park, and if she likes you she may bring Lola to your Pet Care Center. For the PC expansion pack, players can download Hilary and Lola until December 31 from here.
