==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.
==Differences between The Sims 2 and The Sims Stories== ▼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]]''.
