While The Sims have arrived on virtually every gaming format on the planet, EA has decided that our laptop lugging friends deserve a slice of the Sim pie, which culminates in the recently announced development of a new Sims product line entitled The Sims Life Stories.

Life Stories is being made with the laptop gamer in mind, featuring a control scheme that is easily used by the gamer on the go. As well as the classic Sim gameplay, Life Stories will feature a directed story mode (much like the console/handheld versions of the game) which will allow players to achieve mission goals and unlock rewards as they play out the life of their Sim creation.

Alongside Life Stories, EA has also announced another two products in this new Sim line. The Sims Pet Stories will allow gamers to take up the challenge of taking care of a pet, whilst Castaway Stories will bring a little Gilligan's Island to the game by allowing players to make a new life for themselves on an unexplored tropical paradise.


The Sims Life Stories is set to making its debut in March 2007, with Pet Stories and Castaway Stories set to follow this Winter and next Summer respectively.
