Sims Labs: Town Stories Arrives, Replacing Sims 5!

A new Sims game is in the works, and it's available now in Australia! While not the Sims 5 many have been anticipating, The Sims Labs: Town Stories is a mobile simulation game currently in its playtest phase. This new title is part of EA's broader Sims Labs project, a testing ground for innovative gameplay mechanics and features.

Although not yet globally available for download on Google Play, Australian players can sign up via EA's website to participate.

Initial Reactions to The Sims Labs: Town Stories

The game's announcement has generated mixed reactions, with some players expressing concern over the graphics and speculating about potential microtransactions.

Gameplay combines classic Sims-style town building with character-driven narratives. Players construct neighbourhoods, assist residents, manage Sims' careers, and uncover secrets within the town of Plumbrook.

Early footage suggests a familiar feel, aligning with its role as a development testing platform. EA is likely experimenting with concepts that may evolve significantly.
