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 – though it's still in its playtest phase. This isn't The Sims 5, but rather The Sims Labs: Town Stories, a mobile simulation game.
This latest addition to the Sims franchise is part of EA's broader Sims Labs project, a "learning lab" for testing new gameplay mechanics and features. While not yet globally available, you can find its Google Play listing and sign up for access via EA's website (currently Australia-only).
Initial Reactions to The Sims Labs: Town Stories
The game's announcement has sparked mixed reactions, with some players expressing concern over the graphics and potential for microtransactions.
Gameplay blends classic Sims-style building with character-driven narratives. Players construct neighborhoods, guide residents through personal stories, manage careers, and uncover secrets within the town of Plumbrook.
Early footage suggests the game shares similarities with previous Sims titles. Given its experimental nature, EA is likely testing concepts for future iterations.
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.
