Sims Line Grows with Laptop-Friendly Games

Sims Line Grows with Laptop-Friendly Games


Just when you thought The Sims franchise couldn't grow any bigger, Electronic Arts has announced a whole new line of Sims games. The Sims Stories allow you to "play through all the great moments of your Sim's life," all from the comfort of your recliner. Geared toward laptop users, the Sims Stories features the ability to start and stop quickly when you open/close your laptop's lid, as well as play in a window while still staying up on email and IM.

Sims Life Stories, coming out February 6, is the first title in the line. It features a new Story Mode, in which you can follow the lives of two different characters and their love lives through twelve chapters. For instance, in one storyline, you'll play along as the character Riley decides whether she'll ditch one boyfriend in favor of another. (This is deep stuff, people.) If that sounds a bit too Days-of-Our-Lives for you, you can also play in classic mode, which is similar to the open-ended play in the original game.

Life Stories will be followed up by two other Sims Stories titles: Pet Stories and Castaway Stories, which will strand you and your Sims on an island so you can indulge all your Lost fantasies.
