Line 13 ⟶ 12: Like other games on Windows and Mac OS X, the games are not region locked and can be played on any computer regardless of what country the game, Windows/Mac OS X copies or computer came from. As of 2012, [[Electronic Arts]] discontinued distribution of ''The Sims Stories'' and stopped selling it. Searching '''''The Sims Stories''''' on [[Origin]] or the Origin application will not generate any results of ''[[The Sims Life Stories\|Life Stories]]'', ''[[The Sims Pet Stories\|Pet Stories]]'' or ''[[The Sims Castaway Stories\|Castaway Stories]]''. ~~However~~Similarly, no titles in the series prior to ''[[The Sims 23]]'' ~~titles~~are ~~continued~~sold toon beOrigin ~~sold~~anymore. onHowever, in December 2015, [[~~Origin~~Aspyr Media]] ~~and~~revived the series for Mac OS X by releasing updated ports of the games, retooled for Mac OS X ~~3rd~~Mavericks ~~party~~or ~~retailers~~later. ==History== ''The Sims 2: Get a Life'' or ''The Sims 2: Get a Life Edition'' was a rumored [[expansion pack]], console game or [[stuff pack]] for ''[[The Sims 2]]''. The rumor first appeared in August, 2006, posted on ''GameHead''. On the page was stated that the release date was September 28, 2006 , and that it would be priced at $67.40 Australian Dollars. It was confirmed to be fake then, until ''Take 2'' listed the product. It was stated that it would be out on 6 Sep, 2007, and not as a console game. It is now highly accepted that 'Get a Life' was a codename for ''[[The Sims: Life Stories]]''. It appeared on the registration website of [[TheSims2.com]] on November 1, 2006, and was mentioned by [[Snooty Sims]] as "''gets an unusual high price of $39.99. The release date has been set to January 22, 2007.''" It also provided a link for pre-ordering, but it would redirect to the page for pre-ordering ''[[The Sims 2: Seasons]]''. Another game website appeared with a German description of the game [http://www.cede.ch/en/games/frames/right.cfm?aobj=MXSW7705229 here] on Nov 3. ([http://translate.google.ca/translate?js=y&prev=_t&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.cede.ch%2Fen%2Fgames%2Fframes%2Fright.cfm%3Faobj%3DMXSW7705229&sl=auto&tl=en&history_state0= English translation]) ==Features== * Stay connected by using your own IM and email while playing. * In open-ended Classic mode, you create Sims and then choose how they'll fulfill their dreams through life's biggest moments. * In the new and engaging directed [[Story ~~mode~~Mode (The Sims Stories)\|Story Mode]], you take your Sims through a unique and entertaining storyline full of romance, conflict and dramatic twists. * The game doesn't require a video card and the controls have been designed specifically for the laptop with an auto-pause function where you can start and stop the action by opening and closing the lid. * ''The Sims Stories'' games are standalone games and do not support expansion packs or stuff packs from ''The Sims'' or ''The Sims 2'' collections. Line 39 ⟶ 36: ** However, the Mac OS X version retains 10.3 support and PowerPC (G4/G5) * ''The Sims Stories'' does not support ''The Sims 2'' expansion packs or stuff packs (although some custom content made for ''The Sims 2'' will work) * Although based on ''The Sims 2'', ''The Sims Stories'' does not have a "2" after "The Sims". This is shared with ''The Sims Medieval'', as there is no "3" after "The Sims". This does not apply to the Mac App Store re-releases of all 3 games, making them called The Sims 2 Stories. * The Sims Stories official content isn't in Sims2Pack form, it is in SimsLSPack for The Sims Life Stories, SimsPSPack for The Sims Pet Stories and SimsCSPack for The Sims Castaway Stories. * While ''The Sims 2'' is open-ended, ''The Sims Stories ''includes role-playing elements. ==Differences between The Sims console versions and The Sims Stories== Line 48 ⟶ 46: * Unlike in the console versions of ''The Sims'', you cannot enter build mode during story mode. (you can enter Buy Mode however) * You do not need to unlock basic objects in ''The Sims Stories''. * ~~You~~There dois ~~not have~~no [[object ~~restrictions like~~limiter]] that inlimits the ~~console versions. (such as limiting a number~~amount of objects that you can place) in lots. * ''The Sims Stories'' features a "Free Play" mode similar that of the console versions. ==Trivia== * It is interesting to note that the releases of ''The Sims Stories'' are similar to the console releases of ''The Sims 2'', with [[The Sims 2 (console)\|''The Sims 2'']], [[The Sims 2 Pets (console)\|''The Sims 2 Pets'']], and ''[[The Sims 2 Castaway]]'' being released. On Windows, ''The Sims Life Stories'', ''The Sims Pet Stories'' and ''The Sims Castaway Stories'' are released in that same order. * As ''The Sims 2'' and ''The Sims Stories'' do not require a G5 Mac, it can be run on G4-only Macs (which never had a G5 processor) such as the iBook, PowerBook and the pre-2006 Mac Mini. *''[[The Sims Pet Stories]]'' is one of the games that do not include [[elder]] [[life stage]]. {{Sims\|state5=uncollapsed}} [[fr:Les Sims Histoires]] [[~~Category~~nl:~~Games\|~~De Sims ~~Stories, The~~Verhalen]] [[~~category~~ru:The Sims ~~Stories\|~~ Истории]] [[es:Los Sims Historias]] [[Category:Games\|Sims Stories, The]] [[Category:The Sims Stories\| ]]
