Request: Bring back The Sims Stories games!
I think this would be a really good opportunity to re-release all three of the Sims Stories series of games (Life Stories / Pet Stories / Castaway Stories). The only possible issue is, IIRC, Life Stories wasn't developed by EA, but rather was something that Aspyr made by themselves and EA simply published the PC version (and Aspyr published the Mac version of course) so maybe there'd be a bit of licensing weirdness. Otherwise? It'd be amazing to see these three re-released on Steam, maybe as a bundle. $30 for the three, or $10 each. The one fix I'd hope to see, at least in Life Stories, is the carpool driver endlessly generates in Free Play mode (and maybe Story Mode too - haven't checked). It never stops generating carpool / bus driver NPCs, when it's supposed to use the same three pre-generated ones which are already in all three neighborhoods. There's also a few minor inconsistencies in some of the art assets and a ton of unused content in all 3 of them. In the odd event a person at EA sees this and can at least jot this down: All 3 of the games have a completely unused "SimScript" directory in the game's TSData directory. This folder is about 200 MB in Pet Stories I think, which is a lot of data for something that's not even used in the game, so obviously remove that directory in the event you were to revisit this game. There's a lot more I could say, the various quirks, etc, but I'll hold off now.
