Hey guys k: I have a quest for you. ^^ Last year I bought my mother a Gamecube, because she had seen my Ex. play Animal Crossing, and wanted to play it herself. She loved the game, and got bored with it, so I told her about The Sims. That weekend she bought it, but thought it was a little too frantic and fast-paced for her tastes. Well, She and I took a trip to EB Games, and we asked the guy what kind of game she liked. Their responce was Harvest Moon. I bought her Harvest Moon: A Wonderful Life, and Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town. (So she could play at work too). She loved it, absolutely loved it. However she's been playing it for a long time, and is once again becoming bored of it...So, I ask a favor of you all:

My mother has a GBA, PS2, and a Gamecube. She enjoys games that are slow-paced, happy, not very challenging, pretty graphics, and ones that last a long time.

She has tried and liked: Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon
and she had tried and disliked: The Sims

Does anyone know of any GBA, PS2, or Gamecube games that you think my mother would enjoy?

Settlers... not the new crapy one (Settlers V), Settlers III or IV.

I'm not sure whether I should be happy or sad that someone's mother has more gaming hardware than I do.

For the GC, Pikmin (and Pikmin 2) are wonderful, charming strategy games that everyone should love. Spyro, Mario Sunshine, Zoocube and Zelda might also qualify. Final Fantasy: Crystal Chronicles is absolutely gorgeous and quite long but amazingly dull in single player.

The Gamecube... Winnie The Pooh's Rumbly Tumbly Adventure is quite a good game, it's slow paced, and it's good for all ages.

Otherwise I might suggest Mario Power: Tennis or Pikmin as Beef suggested...
For the GBA -
Warioware Twisted
Donkey Kong Country 1 + 2
Kirby And The Amazing Mirrior (Highly reccommended)

Otherwise just search around on Gamespot.

Thanks for the opionions guys I'm not a console gamer myself, in fact the PS2 and GBA were mine, and I gave them to her out of lack of intrest. So far I think she'll like Pikmin, Zoocube (Excellent, I forgot about that one completely) and Mario Tennis. My next door neighbor has Crystal Chronicles, and offered to give it to me, saying it was horrid for a final fantasy game, but ok for a regular game. My mom might like it though because I could play with her.
k: Thanks a lot everyone heheh. Keep the comments coming, if anyone has anymore. I love my mom for being a gaming mom

About Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles.
That game is great, it actually does better as a Final Fantasy game, but I definetly suggest multiplayer.

I've heard nothing but good things 'bout Katamari Damacy, which seems to also come close to what your mom seems to like.
