If you like all the Petz games, then you will like this! Actually, you will like it more. Not only do you get pets but you also get a sim. They still have to sleep, eat, go to the bathroom, stay clean, and be social. I do think they made it easier though because it is not like they have to go to the bathroom every 5 minutes now. It actually takes awhile for your meters to run down now.

You get to stay in a apartment that is left to you by your Uncle. You don't get to customize your apartment, it just comes the way it is. So you can't like, move walls or change the way room sizes look. The only thing you can really do is change furniture, curtains, anything inside the apartment. You work in the spa, earn money, buy different items for your apartment. I was a bit disappointed that you can't make your own apartment, change the size of rooms, and really do it yourself. The apartment is nice though the way it comes. It has a bedroom, kitchen, living room, patio, and bathroom. Another thing that sucks is I don't think you can move furniture, or maybe I missed that part. The only thing I noticed is you click on a piece of furniture and it asks you, "Would you like to change it?" Doesn't really ask you where you would like to put it. I might be wrong about that, but I have not seen that feature yet.

Most of the day you will be kept busy by helping customers. It is the way you make money, and really it is the GAME. You don't spend very much time in your apartment unless you want to ignore customers (but then you don't make money). Most of your time will be in the spa, talking to customers and then grooming their pets.

First, you find out what the pet is upset about. Maybe he stinks, needs a bath, needs some perfume. Then you do what the pet needs. If he needs a bath, you give him a bath. If he stinks too, then after the bath you spray some perfume on him. You have to do this all right or the customer will not be happy. It is like a game. If your bathing the pet, it has to be bathed in the right way. If your spraying perfume, you have to spray it in the right spots. If you don't do it right you lose out on money.

There is also a matching game. If your pet wants a collar then you match up all the cards until you find the right collar that it wants. If you don't match up the collar it wants in time, then your customer will be very unhappy. They won't give you as much money.

So basically, it is all about performance. How well you do in the spa. You can change furniture in the spa too, just like in the apartment.

You will have people that will ask you to take care of their pets. Don't get too attached, they come back for them in a few days! You just meet the pets needs until the owner comes back.

The pets look very real, and very cute. You can dress them up with anything you buy in the shop with your spa money. Sometimes pets will ask for certain items they want. Pets also get sick, so you might be buying medicine for them too.

The pets in your apartment have a game you can play called Hidden Treasure. This is a game you play out on the patio. You direct your dog to find the buried treasures. You want to find the good items and not the bad. So basically you walk them around the yard, they get all excited in certain spots and you tell them to dig. Then you get a surprise. This is a mini game.

All through out the Sims Apartment Pets you will find all sorts of mini games. It is so fun, and it still feels like the regular sims. The sims don't really have goals though like they usually do. The goal is just the pets. Trying to move your spa up, making customers happy, taking care of your apartment pets. So your meeting the needs of the pets and not the sim. The only thing you have to do with the sim is feed him/her, make him/her go to the bathroom, socialize, and all that regular stuff.

Hope this helps.
