Gameplay
In this game the player's Sim is a vet who can have either a dog or a cat. The Sims looks after pet patients. When that pet is better the owner will collect them, and if the vet does a good job they get money and increased reputation. The Sim can also take their own pet to the park and interact with other Sims. Unlike The Sims 2, the control pad cannot be used to move a Sim, this has been retained in Castaway and Apartment Pets.

Reception
Like the GBA and PSP versions, the game received negative reviews.
