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. Currently in its playtest phase, this mobile simulation game is part of EA's Sims Labs initiative – a testing ground for future franchise features.

This new mobile title blends classic Sims building with character-driven narratives. Players construct neighborhoods, guide residents through personal stories, manage careers, and uncover Plumbrook's secrets. While early gameplay footage reveals a familiar style, it's important to remember this is an experimental project. EA is likely testing concepts for future iterations.

Initial player reactions have been mixed, with some expressing concern over the graphics and the potential for microtransactions. The game is listed on the Google Play Store, but currently only accessible to Australian players via signup on EA's website. It's a unique opportunity to participate in the development process and shape the future of the Sims franchise. Stay tuned for more updates, and don't miss our upcoming coverage of Shop Titans' Halloween event!
