The Sims game that The Sims fans never played is back, trucking out to Wii and DS once more with MySims Kingdom, just announced by EA. Things are gonna be different for the lego-like citizens this time around, as the scans and fact sheets suggest that this iteration will focus on a story, and the customization and role-playing will take a backseat. Catch more info along with the official fact sheet after the jump.

The player controls his or her Sim, while helping King Roland rebuild his once-great kingdom. The ability to travel and perform tasks for various townships and counties is an interesting one, but it makes me wonder how much of the customization and upkeep of the player’s property will be forfeit. I suppose that’s for me to wonder and the 8 year olds who’ll play this to find out.
