Titles in this series are categorized as "laptop-friendly" since they do not require a dedicated graphic card.

The series was aimed to cater to three groups of players: players who wish to play The Sims 2 on their laptops (which usually have lower specifications) players who wish to engage in other activities such as instant messaging while playing the game and players who are new to the franchise. As such, its system requirements are lower than that of The Sims 2, but it can still be played on desktops. The modified game engine is optimized for play on systems with weaker specifications, such as laptops. The Sims Stories is a series of video games from The Sims series released between 20, based on a modified version of The Sims 2 game engine.
