I have all the Sims 1/Sims 2/ and expansion packs. And LOVE them. Knowing this, my boyfriend bought me this game for Valentine's Day. I am so glad I didn't pay money for it. The controls are funky (with an AWSD keyboard control scheme) combined with the mouse. There was no way to remap the keys that I could tell. Also, it is very much a Sims 2 "lite" game. If you have the Sims 2, don't bother with this limited version of the game. I can see someone completely new to the game series enjoying this much more than I did. I have the Sims 2 on my laptop and have no problems with it.

I love this game. I don't know how anyone couldn't. My favorite part is having twins. Of course you have to cheat, but it's fun having more babies than your supposed to. ha! (once your pregnant and before you have the baby->hold ctrl+shift+c and enter forcetwins, then hit enter your carrying twins!) Don't worry parents. It's nothing like you think. Everything is blurred. When having the baby, the woman stands up, moans and groans alot and kinda twirls around a few times, then bam there's the baby. Very clean and child friendly.
I have beaten both stories. But you still have so much to do. It's so much fun. There's endless possibilities with this game!!

I have enjoyed every moment of the sims life stories, it is very easy to adjust even if you have never played the sims games before. The game is real laptop friendly and the control are easy to use. There also things that occur in the game on laptop that do not happen on the pc. Playing the story mode helps you learn new and old tricks to playing the game. So enjoy the game and relax with it

It you like Sims 2 but it crashes your computer try this!

I tried playing Sims 2 on my laptop two years ago, but it was sloooooowwww. It would freeze and crash, it was impossible! This game is very similar, just not expandable. You can play in Freeplay which is just like Sims 2, or you can play the storylines. Riley's was cute, but I really enjoyed Vincent's, it is laugh out loud funny. If you have ever dated people from the internet you can really relate to Vincent. I completed the Vincent storyline, and have been free playing him for weeks now, having him marry various people within the game and of my own creation. He has built quite the legacy. I have been giving him Elixir of Life, and he has lived an extremely long time. Call me sentimental, I just can't let him die.

I would love it if EA would release a lot more of these Laptop Friendly Sim's games. I would like a nightlife type one, or something more bizarre. How about Sims in different places in history? Romans? No electricity, come on!

Game Not interesting

I played the game for a while, hoping it would get better, btu it didn't. It is almost the exact same thing as The Sims 2. I would reccommend buying The Sims 2 instead, it has a lot more options and is a lot more fun.

ALRIGHT SIMS!!!!

This game is great, It is totally different in play from the original Sims Game. It is more like the console versions with goals to complete. It has a goal version with two (2) stories, and free play mode where you can build your own houses. This game also plays in it's very own window so if you want to e-mail, or instant message your friends you can. Electronic Arts out did themselves this time. Great Game, I love it.

The sims life stories game is ok

I got this because I just got a laptop and I wasn't sure it could handle the entire Sims 2 w/ the EPs. It's a quick way to get your Sims fix, but I recommend playing in to free play mode after trying the story mode. One cool thing is that there are no bills to pay--YAY! One bad thing is that I have yet to find a way to get new outfits into the game.

Overall the game is fun to play. But I think that there should be more choices for decorating the houses.

Eh, Alright

Well, I knew this game would be a bit structured. Meaning, don't expect free reign in this game like in regular Sims games. I liked that idea until I began to play it. I hate that the controls seem so much more difficult than almost any other game that I have played. It is a pain to move around in game, so much so that I have to quit playing because I get so irritated. If they would work on the control aspect of the game, it would improve this game quite a bit.
