"The Sims Life Stories" Description:

It's a completely new series of Sims! "The Sims Life Stories" was developed with gamer's who own laptops in mind. The system requirements will be appropriate for laptops and will not require a dedicated graphics card. "The Sims Life Stories" will play in a windowed screen and allow other programs (like an instant messenger) to run in the background.

"The Sims Life Stories" Review

"The Sims Life Stories" will have two playing modes - an open-ended mode and directed-play. The open-ended play will be similar to the way "The Sims 2" is now. Directed will give you specific stories and goals that you will have to play through; similar to how console versions of "The Sims" currently work. The stories put you in charge of Sims searching for love.
