Though you may not just want to buy it for the laptop friendly reason, If you don't already have the sims get it.

User Rating: 7.9 | The Sims: Life Stories PC
Most People of course are getting it for the laptop friendly part as am I. Though I was just getting it for the Laptop I really think the Story mode adds a new level of fun to the PC version since it has never been placed in a PC version before.

If you have never played the Sims before it is a Life Simulator, where you can create your own people and make them live from birth to death or any time between.

The Story Mode adds:

Riley - A woman who has moved away but now she is returning to a town called Four Corners, only to find one of her old flames has recently moved back as well.

Vince - After finishing Ch 3 of Riley's story you unlock Vince's. Vince's is a tech wiz eho has always chosen the wrong woman now he is looking for a woman who will love him for him not his vast fortune.

If your new to the Sims or a seasoned veteran looking towards the new story mode I would recommend getting this game.
