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. This mobile simulation game, part of EA's Sims Labs initiative, serves as a testing ground for future Sims titles.
Currently in its playtest phase, Town Stories blends classic Sims building with character-driven narratives. Players construct neighborhoods, guide residents on personal journeys, manage careers, and uncover secrets within the town of Plumbrook. Early gameplay footage suggests a familiar feel, hinting at experimental concepts that may evolve further.
The game's Google Play listing is visible, though download access is currently limited to Australia and requires signing up via EA's website. Initial player reactions have been mixed, with some expressing concerns about the graphics and potential for microtransactions.
Intrigued? Check out the Google Play Store listing, and if you're in Australia, give it a try! Stay tuned for our upcoming coverage of Shop Titans' Halloween event.
