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! While not the highly anticipated Sims 5, The Sims Labs: Town Stories offers a taste of what's to come. This mobile simulation game, part of EA's Sims Labs project, serves as a testing ground for new gameplay mechanics and features.

Currently in its playtest phase, Town Stories blends classic Sims building with character-driven narratives. Players construct neighbourhoods, guide residents on personal quests, manage careers, and unravel the mysteries of Plumbrook.

Initial reactions have been mixed, with some online criticism focusing on graphics and concerns about potential microtransactions. However, given its developmental stage, the game's current iteration likely represents early concepts undergoing refinement.

The game is listed on the Google Play Store, but downloads are currently limited to Australia. Interested players outside Australia can register their interest via EA's website. Expect further refinements and potential feature expansions as development progresses.
