A new Sims game is in the works, and it might be closer than you think! Currently in playtesting, The Sims Labs: Town Stories is available in Australia, offering a sneak peek at what could be. While not the Sims 5 many anticipate, it's a significant development.
This mobile simulation game is part of EA's Sims Labs project, launched last August as a testing ground for future franchise features. While listed on the Google Play Store, it's not yet globally available. Australian players can access it via sign-up on EA's website.
Initial Reactions to The Sims Labs: Town Stories
The game's unveiling has sparked mixed reactions, with some Reddit users expressing disappointment regarding the graphics and suspecting a microtransaction-heavy model.
Gameplay blends classic Sims building with character-driven narratives. Players construct neighbourhoods, assist residents, manage Sims' careers, and uncover Plumbrook's secrets. Early footage suggests familiar elements, likely due to its experimental nature. EA may be refining concepts for future iterations.
