I bought this game as a present for my wife, as I felt it was right up her alley. She has spent hundreds of hours on The Sims and Animal Crossing. She also likes time management games like Cooking Mama, Diner Dash, things of that nature. She seems to be enjoying the game so far. When I asked her to describe it, she said it was a more advanced Animal Crossing. My 2 cents based off what I have been told.
