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.
Part of EA's broader Sims Labs project (launched last August), Town Stories serves as a testing ground for new gameplay mechanics and features. While listed on the Google Play Store, it's currently exclusive to Australia and requires signing up through EA's website.
Initial Reactions to The Sims Labs: Town Stories
The game's reveal has sparked mixed reactions, with some players expressing disappointment over the graphics and speculating about potential microtransactions. The gameplay blends classic Sims-style building with narrative elements. Players construct neighbourhoods, guide residents through personal stories, manage careers, and uncover secrets within the town of Plumbrook.
Early footage suggests a familiar feel, aligning with its role as a testing environment. EA is likely experimenting with concepts for future iterations.
