Instead Of The Sims 5, EA Drops A Different Sims Game, The Sims Labs: Town Stories!

A new Sims game is in the works, and it's available now in Australia – though it's still in the playtest phase. This mobile game, The Sims Labs: Town Stories, is part of EA's broader Sims Labs initiative, a testing ground for future Sims game features. While not the highly anticipated Sims 5, it offers a glimpse into potential future directions.

This new mobile simulation game blends classic Sims building with character-driven narratives. Players construct neighborhoods, guide residents through personal storylines, advance careers, and unearth Plumbrook's secrets.

Initial reactions have been mixed, with some players expressing concern over the graphics and the potential for in-app purchases. However, given its experimental nature, the current iteration may not fully represent the final product. The gameplay, based on available footage, appears to be a familiar experience for Sims fans.

Currently, the game is listed on the Google Play Store, though not yet widely available for download. Australian players can access it via EA's website. Intrigued? Check it out on Google Play and let us know your thoughts! Stay tuned for our next article covering Shop Titans' Halloween event.
