The Sims 2 Life Stories

The Sims Life Stories

I’m a bit angry with the people at Maxis for coming out with an amazing looking new expansion pack AND a brand new Sims stand alone game all in less than a month.  Of course I’ll have to buy them both because I’m obsessed with The Sims, but it’s really going to hurt my bankbook.  Here’s what The Sims Life Stories is all about:

The Sims Life Stories is the first release in an all-new product line called The Sims Stories. Play through all the great moments of your Sim’s life in this easy-to-play, laptop-friendly version of The Sims. In the new and engaging directed Story mode, you take your Sims through a unique and entertaining storyline full of romance and dramatic twists. You even unlock cool rewards along the way as you achieve set goals. In open-ended Classic mode, you create Sims and then choose how they’ll fulfill their dreams through life’s biggest moments. Stay connected by using your own IM and email while playing.

FEATURES

  • Direct Their Lives in Two Complete Stories
    In all-new Story Mode play through the life story of Riley as she returns home to start a new life with new friends, new experiences, and unexpected surprises. A bonus second story lets you sort out the love life of Vince, a love-struck high-tech whiz who’s been unlucky in love so far.
  • Create Your Sims’ Own Stories
    In Open-Ended Classic Mode you create your Sims, design their dream homes, fulfill their desires (or dash their hopes), and tell their stories as they experience life’s biggest moments.
  • Life’s Most Memorable Milestones
    From first date to first job, from finding Mr. or Mrs. Right to building a long-lasting family legacy, take your Sims through a lifetime of unforgettable experiences.
  • It’s Never Been Easier to Play on Your Laptop
    Specially designed to play easily and quickly at home or on the go, this laptop-friendly game features simple shortcuts and an all-new auto-pause that lets you start and stop easily when opening/closing your laptop.
  • Be Creative While Staying Connected
    You can easily stay in touch with your friends by using your own IM and email while playing the game in its own window.
  • The Start of an All-New Product Line
    Also Coming Soon to The Sims Stories Line: The Sims Pet Stories invites your Sims to care for and train loveable but unpredictable pets, and in The Sims Castaway Stories you help your Sims make a new life in an unexplored island paradise. All releases in The Sims Stories line offer two fun ways to play, directed Story mode and open-ended Classic mode, and are designed with laptop-friendly controls that let you play even when you’re on the go!
