Google Play Store listing describes The Sims Labs: Urban Stories as “an exciting all-new construction simulation game.” It is set in the town of Plumbrook, which your player character recently moved to. Judging by the screenshots, the gameplay seems to involve traditional The Sims-style construction and interaction with city residents.
Its images show the player interacting with the fan favorite. The Sims Bella Goth character, suggesting there will be some callback references for a long time The Sims players. The overall interface is quite reminiscent of previous mobile installments, with a couple of elements, such as a bright blue player level bar, that I can immediately identify as being taken from The Sims Mobile.
Given the use of all of these alleged placeholder assets, it's also pretty obvious that this title is still in a very early stage of development. There are also a number of visual errors, especially with the character animations and extremely flat lighting. Still, a new The Sims The game is always pretty exciting and I'm looking forward to finding out more about what it could be.
If you'd rather stick to a game that's already available, The Sims 4 is now available as a free-to-play title for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4, as well as Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PlayStation 5 via backward compatibility.
