Most graphical-related mods will work (such as sim shadow fix or default skin replacements). The stories games are basically alternate versions of The Sims 2 with a different set of content. It highly depends on how the mod is made and what game resources it is designed to work from. Sims Life Stories Mods The Sims Life Stories is the first game in the The Sims Stories product line, developed by Maxis and EA Games. It was released on February 6, 2007. Free trials of the game are available on certain laptops but they are only playable to the end of chapter 3 in Riley Harlow's story.

| The Sims: Life Stories Search for related No-CD & No-DVD Patch No-CD & No-DVD Patch troubleshooting: The most common problem getting a No-CD/No-DVD patch to work is ensuring that the No-CD/No-DVD patch matches you're game version, because the games exe is changed when a patch update is applied previous versions won't work. If its an older game you are playing and you are running Windows 7 or Windows 8 it may not work, if you right click the .exe file and choose Properties and then Compatibility you can change this to run in Windows 98/ Windows 2000 etc. You can find more information on the Beginners Help page here |
