Game Description
You've built and lived in a sprawling Sim City. Now, escape to the country! In Sim Animals, you'll enter a vast forest where you'll meet and interact with wild animals in their natural habitat. Almost everything you see can be picked up, touched, or moved, including the animals themselves! You'll encounter rabbits, hedgehogs, foxes, owls, squirrels, bears, and more.

You can even invite up to three of your human friends to explore with you.
