Here’s a practical breakdown of how it does and doesn’t line up with your memory:

===== ✅ What matches =====
* The game has animals and a “cute little 3D town” you build from the ground up. Google Play<ref>{{cite web|title=Google Play|url=https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?hl=en_US&id=com.tutotoons.app.pockettown|publisher=Google Play|access-date=2025-12-22}}</ref>
* It includes dress-up/clothing with accessories. The App Store description says: “Dress your character up in some fabulous clothes! And don’t forget the accessories!” Apple<ref>{{cite web|title=Apple|url=https://apps.apple.com/lv/app/pocket-town-animal-world/id1628745523|publisher=apps.apple.com|access-date=2025-12-22}}</ref>
* It also mentions a race: “Drive a jeep in a race and compete with others!” Apple<ref>{{cite web|title=Apple|url=https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pocket-town-animal-world/id1628745523|publisher=apps.apple.com|access-date=2025-12-22}}</ref>
* It has the in-game currency / optional purchases angle (you found in memory of “sped up shoes”) since it’s free-to-play style with extras.
* The timeline is later though (this game appears to be recent: e.g., on the App Store published “3.1 years ago” as of 2025) so maybe a remake/new version. Apple<ref>{{cite web|title=Apple|url=https://apps.apple.com/lv/app/pocket-town-animal-world/id1628745523|publisher=apps.apple.com|access-date=2025-12-22}}</ref>

===== ⚠️ What doesn’t match / questionable =====
* Your memory places the game around 2010-2013. This “Pocket Town – Animal World” appears newer (2022/23 era) so likely not the exact one you played back in 2010-2013.
* The detail you remembered: the column layout of clothing sets (hat / shirt / shoes) — I couldn’t verify that exact UI in this game from descriptions/screenshots I found.
* You said you did “work to earn money” (jobs) and different shops (furniture, clothing) — I didn’t find clear mention of jobs or work to earn money in the descriptions available for this “Pocket Town” (though may be hidden deeper).
* The style might differ: if what you remember was more 2D / simpler mobile game from early era, this 3D version may feel different.

===== 🔍 My verdict =====
* This could be close but not the exact game you played (or maybe a later version/remake of it).
* If you played it around 2010-2013, it might be an earlier title that has since been discontinued, re-branded, or had rights transferred.
* The “Pocket Town – Animal World” is available now, so you could download it and check if the interface / clothing store layout triggers your memory.

===== ✅ What you can do next =====
* Download “Pocket Town – Animal World” and check if the clothing/shoes/headpiece layout matches your memory.
* While there, check if there’s a “job/work to earn money” mechanic (you earn by working) and if the shops include furniture + clothing + a race mini-game.
* If you find it isn’t it, note down which elements differ and I can dig older games (2010-2013) using more targeted filters (e.g., “animal town builder mobile 2012 dress-up mini games jobs”) to find the original.
* Let me know if you remember additional cues: was it iOS or Android? Was the art style 2D cartoon or 3D? Any word or part of the title you recall?

If you like, I can search older archived lists of mobile games from 2010-2013 that match your criteria (animals + town + mini-games + dress-up) and send you a shortlist of 5-10 older titles (with screenshots) so we can check each by memory. Would you like me to do that?
