The Sims Stories

Yet another new game released just in time for Christmas

This one is a bit different though, it's a PC game of the Sims that is a stand-alone from the Sims 2, in a way it's own game with the characters from the Sims, from what I can surmise it is basically a game with a plot that can be played through to completion as opposed to an open-ended, build-your-own-adventure, never-ending epic like the original Sims & Sims 2.

"Introducing The Sims™ Stories!

Eager to get your friends on The Sims™ bandwagon? Then this is the game for them! The Sims™ Life Stories is the first release in an all-new, standalone product line called The Sims™ Stories.
