A new Sims game is in the works, and it's available now in Australia! While not the Sims 5 many are anticipating, The Sims Labs: Town Stories offers a taste of what's to come. Currently in its playtest phase, this mobile simulation game is part of EA's broader Sims Labs initiative, a testing ground for future franchise features.
This latest Sims addition isn't a full-fledged title, but a mobile game designed to experiment with gameplay mechanics. While listed on the Google Play Store, it's not yet globally available. Australian players can sign up via EA's website for access.
Early Reactions to The Sims Labs: Town Stories
Initial player response has been mixed, with some Reddit users expressing concerns about the graphics and the potential for microtransactions.
Town Stories blends classic Sims building with character-driven narratives. Players construct neighborhoods, assist residents with personal quests, advance Sims' careers, and uncover Plumbrook's mysteries. Early footage suggests a familiar style, reflecting its experimental nature. EA is likely testing concepts for future iterations.
