This would actually be fun if the story wasn't so bland. Once you achieve a goal, the story moves on a bit. Your sim has a single goal (be it seducing a man or trying on a new outfit) which changes throughout the story.
So where did The Sims Life Stories come from? It's a reworked version of The Sims 2, which strips away housebuilding and character-creation and adds a storyline to the life of a preset girl sim called Riley. I've rarely, for example, ever been left wondering how to make a sim dance in a puddle of his own urine. So it makes sense to assume that it's an accessible game, one that's easy to understand and simple to play. One Of The the most popular game ever made, The Sims 2 is particularly loved by those not usually found buying PC games.
