There were 3 titles prepared for The Sims Stories Product Line, they are The Sims: Life Stories, The Sims: Pet Stories and The Sims: Castaway Stories.



History

It appeared on the registration website of The Sims 2.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 us a link for pre-ordering, but it will redirect to the page where you can pre-order The Sims 2: Seasons.

The other day another game website appeared with German description of the game here on Nov 3. BBS member raye1 has given us a translation, click here to see it.
