Overview
Check out the Sims Life Stories trailer.
Features- Direct their lives in two complete stories. In all-new Story Mode play through the life story of Riley as she returns home to start again 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.
- Create your Sims' own stories. In Open-Ended Classic Mode 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.
- Life's most memorable milestones. 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.
- It's never been easier to play on your laptop. Specially designed to play easily and quickly at home or on the go, this notebook-friendly game features simple shortcuts and an all-new auto-pause that lets you start and stop easily when opening/closing your notebook.
- Be creative while staying connected. You can easily stay in touch with your friends by using your own IM and email while playing the game in its own window.
- The start of an all-new series of Sims titles. Coming Soon to The Sims Stories Line: The Sims Pet Stories invites your Sims to care for and train loveable but unpredictable pets, and in The Sims Castaway Stories you help your Sims make a new life in an unexplored island paradise. All releases in The Sims Stories line offer two fun ways to play, directed Story mode and open-ended Classic mode, and are designed with laptop-friendly controls that let you play even when you're on the go!

Not what I expected
Written by TK from Calgary

Bad points - The amount of money spent on this new Sims2 game was not really worth it. I am disappointed with this game, as I fini…Read moreshed Riley's story in 3 days, and I was not playing all day and night, just a few hours over the 3 days after I got it. You can't use any of your expansion packs like pets, open for business, or university in Life stories, I thought that was disappointing as well.
Good points - I liked the concept of a story driven game, but it's so easy to play and then it's over so quick. I played the game at 1680 x 1050 on my intel imac and I was still able to run msn, outlook, and other programs all at the same time. I thought this was very convenient compared to the normal version of Sims2. The story is interesting and fun.
Overall - It's fun for a short time if you want to spend the $50 bucks. If you have the console version I would stick with that and play the normal Sims2 on your mac.(320 of 491 people found this review useful)

Okay

THE SIMS LIFE STORIES = The Sims 2.5... runs using the Sims 2 engine but requires less system resources. but IT IS NOT Sims 2..

Bought this game for my MB Black. Even though it says notebook friendly, its not really that notebook friendly, esp with Intel GMA 950 video chipset. I have it running 800x600 with every setting medium, even though itll run smoothly, there will be some problems. e.g: when creating a sim the floor will be black and when buying countertops the counter top along with the counter will be black.
pluses is that it runs in a 800x600 windowed mode where it will allow you to do anything you want when you play Sims. but since its relatively small compared to the MBs native resolution you'll probably have to squint or sit really close to your laptop.
