About
In The Sims Life Stories, you'll get to lead your Sim through a new set of life adventures. You create your Sims, design their dream homes, fulfill their desires or dash their hopes, and tell their stories as they experience life’s biggest moments. From first date to first job, from finding Mr. or Mrs. Right to building a long-lasting family legacy, take your Sims through a lifetime of unforgettable experiences.
Play through the life story of Riley as she returns home to start a new life with new friends, new experiences, and unexpected surprises. A bonus second story lets you sort out the love life of Vince, a love-struck high-tech whiz who’s been unlucky in love so far.
