This version of Sims Stories actually adds more depth to the original Sims 2 Pets expansion pack. Plus it's plain fun.
In this game, two new stories are featured. The first is a financially-strapped dog owner Alice Moore who needs to win a dog show in order to save her house, the second features a chef named Stephen Loyal whose life being turned upside down when a cat comes into his life.
The game not only features new items that is never featured in the original game of the Sims such as the dog show equipments like the see saw, tire jump and the tunnel.
Storyline wise is still interesting and pretty well plotted out. It's more challenging than previous edition the Sims Life Stories as the player not only handles the needs and goals of the main character, but also their pets as well. However, no matter how "hard" it is, most Sims fans will find the game is relatively easy to finish.
Overall the game itself is amusing to play and it is recommended to animal lovers and Sims fans alike. It is worth your time to try it out as it is optimized for laptops.
