    I'm always looking for games like Gardenscapes, where you earn money to fix up your house/garden/etc.

    Here is a list of the ones that I've found:

    HOG's:

    Match-3's:

    Similar(ish) games:

    Thank you! I also love the decorating part of games so this is very useful.

    I can add:

    Create-A-Mall (TM strategy) where you fix up malls to be better shopping areas. You decorate an office and personal wardrobe.

    I absolutely loved "Gardenscapes"! I don't really like TMs or TM-like games but this one was fun and lengthy and pretty. These days there seems to be a lot of mixed genre games, Most M3s seem to have TM play included. I like M3s but seldom buy them anymore because I don't want to build and manage anything. I am, however, addicted to "Pretty" and "Gardenscapes" was very pretty and had hidden objects too. I suspect I may try another "garden" game eventually. I loved the one i played at Facebook where you build a beautiful garden of many themes. I had to quit that because several features did not work for me and the devs seemed to have no interest in helping me solve the issues. it was a shame because that was such a beautiful, fun, garden building game. I deleted the app and have already forgotten the name of it - lol!

    I highly recommend Tales of Lagoona: Orphans of the Ocean for you since you love the pretty - it has lovely graphics and is played like Gardenscapes.

    Oh, and did you hear... Gardenscapes 2 is supposed to be out within the next two months! Squeeee~! Fixer-upper Games like Gardenscapes 2520623126 It's going to be called Gardenscapes - Mansion Makeover, and I know this because it's on GameHouse's list of games coming out in the next 60 days Fixer-upper Games like Gardenscapes 364988687

    A new one to add: Rainbow Web 3. I originally thought this was a marble-popper, but it is actually a different take on match-3. I don't know how to explain it, really, just trying it for yourself would be your best bet Wink

    You will be fixing up multiple locations, such as an apothecary and a blacksmith shop. Very nice graphics, puzzle-match-3 gameplay, and though there are spiderwebs galore, no actual spiders to be seen Wink

    I've added Barn Yarn to post #1. It's rather like a Gardenscapes 3, with a bit of Farmscapes thrown in (same characters, a bit of the same graphics). Happy bounce Can't wait to try it!

    Added Age of Mahjong to the list. I'm not hugely into mahjong nowadays, but I do love the games where you rebuild things like this, so I might try it! :D

    Added Aquascapes (whoops! Had missed that one! Fixer-upper Games like Gardenscapes 3253339202) and today's release, Solitaire Egypt. What I'm reading is that if you play in Campaign Mode, you earn resources to rebuild a city. Fun~! The colors in the screens show a bit too much contrast for my taste, but who knows~ I might end up loving it... assuming that I get around to trying it someday! Belly laugh
