I had not played my Sims 3 game in a while, but decided to buy pets and give it a go again. I did not open up the game before I installed the EP. It had always worked properly before, if not a little slow. The game said I needed to download the updates before I could install pets, so I downloaded everything it prompted me to. I believe I'm at update 1.42, but I'm not sure how to find out.
The EP installed with no problems and the startup screen was normal, however once I tried to play an older neighborhood, I began to notice a lot of missing text. Text from the tutorial boxes was missing, but I was able to click buttons to contine the gameplay. I switched over to Appaloosa Plains and tried to make a new family, but any text associated with pets was missing. With the family made and in the neighborhood I had no glitches except the missing text and two horses standing in the exact same spot.
I have Windows Vista and AMD Athlon X2 64. I'm really not sure about my graphics card.
Please let me know if there is any other information I need to provide.

As it turns out, I had some dc that must have clashed with something. I followed the instructions here and now my text is all working. I am extremely relieved, as this means I haven't wasted my money.
Thank you for your time!

This is an issue that seems to come and go for some people. I have no idea what is causing it.
What language is your game in ? Did you buy both in the same country ? Disc or download versions ?
Good Luck

I uninstalled the game, restarted my computer, and then reinstalled with no changes. My game is in English, and both are discs bought in the US.
I even have some screen shots of it if it would be helpful

That is caused by DLC ? Was it mods or objects/clothing/hair/... ?
Please also accept your post as a solution in case someone else has the same issue.

I'm not entirely sure which one it was. I believe it was probably hair or clothes, but I moved everything to a new folder at once rather than checking each individual download.
