Sims Labs: Town Stories Emerges as EA

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 new gameplay mechanics and features.

While listed on the Google Play Store, the game isn't globally available for download just yet. Australian players can access it by signing up through EA's official website.

Town Stories blends classic Sims building with narrative elements. Players design neighborhoods, guide residents through personal stories, manage Sims' careers, and uncover Plumbrook's secrets. Early footage suggests a familiar feel to previous Sims titles, likely reflecting its experimental nature.
