Anyone played the Sims 1?

I would, but my copy of The Complete Collection seems to be missing Livin' Large objects. So frustrating! I got the CC because my Hot Date disc died.

The Sims 1 was my life back then. Now I'm more of a Sims 2 kind of person.

Yeah I was having fun with it but it crashed. I also forgot that you had to install the expansion packs in the right order so I now have to uninstall a pack and install it again. :s

I installed 1 complete collection today for the first time today ever on a windows 7 PC and it worked right off the bat when I remembered to uninstall a Microsoft update that's stops it loading for some reason...

The only thing I have to work out is how stop my sims looking like they have jagged edges around them which looks a little weird but the rest of the graphics elsewhere is okay but the pics I have tried to take look really small and silly other than that I was amazed visiting downtown to find lots of places to go that don't simply look like an afterthought slung onto a map lol so coming from 3 then to 2 and working backwards to 1, 2 is my favorite at them moment but 1 really does shine for the time frame it was actually made and released....

@xooemily

I bought it from the same reason just to try and be able to say I played the first series but I will continue playing it now I have actually got it installed so I would grab it while you still can before it becomes totally extinct or so rare its priced out of the market lol

I would play it if I could. If only EA would put it on Origin... :wink:

My favourite was Makin Magic and On Holiday.

yes I played it and had so much fun with the game. I stayed up 2 days straight playing it!! a few years back i gave the game and all expansions pack to a friend. Only kept Sims 2!!

I started the Sims 1 when I was about 5 years old and I still love it to this day!

I played it when it was released. I still load it up from time to time, usually to check on the details of a feature if I'm discussing it. I'll have a little play for memories sake.

It's hard to pick a favourite. Hot Date added so much at it's time of release, because I believe it was the first time we had community lots to visit! Restaurants were a favourite feature, but I loved building shops as well. Makin' Magic was brilliant, and I loved combining it with items from Unleashed, which had some great worn-looking assets. I liked collecting all the interesting ingredients in MM, and crafting spells and crystals. I particularly liked the old-fashioned features like the spinning wheel, baking with ingredients like flour, the nectar making, and the butter churn.

Superstar was definitely a favourite! I'd really like a similar theme for TS4 with active fashion, film and singer careers. The only issue I had with it was that your performance was based on chance, especially at higher levels. I'm a bit of a controlling player, so I prefer a more predictable outcome based on skill and effort.

I loved the vacation expansion, I liked that it gave us three new destination types to explore: snowy, outdoorsy, and beach. We have Outdoor Retreat for TS4 and I'd really like to see a ski resort and a tropical island at some point.

My least favourite was Livin' Large, it had some nice features, but it was a bit too OTT and I didn't tend to use the features that much.

I used to play TS1. The first time I played both Bob and Betty Newbie died in a fire caused by Betty's horrendous cooking.

haha. i made this couple and they had a huge house {wasn't very good at building at the time} but there was a long hallway upstairs & the husband died & then the grim reaper started going down the hallway & i was like what the asdfghjkl; is that haha. scared me. but ive been playing the sims since 2004. i actually really want to play the sims superstar right now, one of my favorites!

I started playing The Sims 1 when I was around 5-6 years old. I began playing TS2 almost the same day it was released in my country. I only played TS3 once or twice, and jumped from TS2 to TS4 last year.

I can't remember which expansion packs TS1 had, but I remember there was one where you could go on summer vacation and meet a shark by a pool. That was my favourite.

I actually tried TS1 again last year, because I found all the old CDs in the basement. It was fun, but not entertaining enough to do it for a long time after trying TS2 and TS4.
