Who's still playing the Sims 1 from time to time?

I have played it. I would say I'm familiar up until Seasons? I have just sent my sims 3 sim to uni but they aren't enjoying it, their room mates are messy pigs. I've never touched any of the into the future content and only just started with island paradise. I think it was because when they came out my PC couldn't handle them properly. It was very laggy. Now I have a gaming PC and it runs amazing. I do love to play the sims 3 but when I don't have time for a big gaming session I go to TS2 every time :) I'm actually going to play more of the sims 3 tomorrow once my Sims 2 sims finish throwing a New Years party and the legacy founder finally kicks the bucket. :-(

I do love how gorgeous the open world is in 3 but I can't say I was disappointed when it was left out in the sims 4. Perhaps that is because I've spent so much time with the sims 1 and 2 and my load screens are quick they don't really bother me? But I get how they are a pain for some people. Particularly if the person has only ever played 3 prior to say the sims 4.

I think I know the sims 2 and 1 the best overall as I know parts of 3 well but like into the future I've never touched (despite it being installed) lol

I hope you get your laptop back soon!
