Okay, so this is the weird little GBA version of The Sims where you're basically running a pet hotel. You start with this tiny house and a couple of stray animals show up—dogs, cats, even a parrot if you're lucky. The pixel art's actually kinda charming, though the controls take some getting used to since it's on a tiny screen.

At first I thought it was just about feeding them and cleaning up messes (which, yeah, there's a lot of that), but then you unlock weird stuff like teaching your cat to dance or dressing your dog in sunglasses. It's janky in that early 2000s handheld way, but weirdly addictive once you get into the rhythm of it. Definitely not as deep as the PC version, but there's something fun about the simplicity.

Just don't expect the full Sims experience—this is more like a quirky pet simulator with some bizarre charm.
