Whiskerton is the neighborhood where The Sims 2: Pets for PlayStation 2, PSP, GameCube and Wii takes place.
Whiskerton is the default neighborhood name and can be changed to another name.
PS2, Wii and GameCube version[]
In The Sims 2: Pets, the center of the neighborhood is a lake surrounded by land. It also features a waterfall with one lot called Lemming Point which is unoccupied, but a little south is a lot occupied by the Hardiman family in Serenity Falls. On the far side to the right is a country like setting with two lots occupied by the Simpson family at Feline Farms and the Newbie family at Cozy Acres. South of the neighborhood is an island with one unoccupied lot called Fishbone Island. Most of the neighborhood is surrounded by pine trees.

Town Square[]
The Town Square in Whiskerton is basically a park. The currency here is Pet Points and the town square introduces pet stores and drink/ice cream stalls.
The more pet points are spent the more the town square expands as well the shop that was shopped in. For example, if the spends enough pet points in the Pet Emporium, it will grow bigger and more objects will be available.
The Town Square has a chess table, drinking fountains, vending machines, a park fountain (which will expand), bathroom stalls and a statue (also will expand). It is unknown where it is located in Whiskerton as it doesn't show it in the neighbourhood view, but it is known to be near the lake as it sits on the edge of it and can be seen in the background.

The PSP version is smaller and only features four lots or sections and very few families. The town square is also a bit degraded. The four sections consists of Ruff Woods and cabin like section.

- If the player leaves the neighbourhood screen for a while, the screen will change from morning, to noon, to evening.
- A portion of the lake can be seen in the PSP version on the neighbourhood screen.
- The chess table is replaced with a dining table and the tiles in the bathroom are replaced with red carpet in the Town Square in the PSP version.
