Sims Stories for laptops News

PC News by Robert Purchese

16 January, 2007

EA has announced it's launching a new line of Sims games designed to be laptop friendly.

The Sims Stories will be a standalone series that focuses on the lives and journeys of individual characters.

The first of these titles will be The Sims Life Stories. Billed as a romantic comedy, you will have to guide either Riley Harlow or Vincent Moore through twelve chapters of difficult and life changing choices.

"Everyone loves a good story," reckons Rod Humble, VP head of studio for The Sims division. "For those who are interested in The Sims, The Sims Stories are accessible and fun for everyone."

The Sims Life Stories will launch on 9th February, followed by Castaway Stories in summer 2007, and Pet Stories in winter 2008.

Take a look at the latest images for Life Stories, or head over to the game's website for more information.

"Everyone loves a pile of money," reckons Rod Humble, VP head of studio for The Sims division.

Actually, I don't much care that they are milking cash from this franchise. Thats what franchises are for. Otherwise it would be new IP everyday delivered with your milk.

I'm more concerned that they make a decent game, though initial examination suggests this particular outing is not for me.

er, isn't the whole point of the sims that you create your own characters and scenarios? I don't want to help Vincent Moore in his love life. I guess the women might though...Although the chances are watching an episode of Eastenders will provide a far more dynamic and exciting storyline.

It's not something I would play, but it's a fantastic idea. Kudos to them for coming up with it.

Sounds a lot like the GBA version of The Sims.

They're bringing out a console style version of the Sims for PC. I'm not sure this makes sense as those who bought the console versions usually didn't have a good enough PC to run the PC version. :/

Sounds like a good idea to me... I've long thought that you could do a more story-orientated take on the Sims, and lo and behold...

How is this specifically "laptop friendly" exactly?

A very good idea. I'm surprised.
