How did you start your first save?

My very first game I played with pre-made sims. I played a couple families too. Now I only play with my own sims and stick to one family through many generations. Didn't take long before I started playing that way, I just really checked each family out and got used to the differences from one.

I'm a mega control freak. So I start with a brand new city of my own. I build houses that my six founding families can afford (10k or less). Then I create my first six founders and move them into the homes. I then create spouses for those founders and move them in too. With the additional 10k, they can afford some furniture, plumbing, etc. Each one gets a job to get cash flowing and we're off to the races.

I started playing the Sims 4 at a friend’s house, so I’ll talk about that save. I’d been watching a YouTuber who was making a Five Nights at Freddy’s Sims 4 series on her channel, so I decided to imitate it on my friend’s computer. I learned the motherlode cheat from another friend at the house that day, used the cheat, and bought the biggest house imaginable. I then failed at building add-ons and then promptly forgot about the save after that day. Created a new save the next day. I’m willing to bet she still has the saves on her computer, as she hasn’t played in years.

I just realized this is a Sims 2 thread. I’m so sorry.

I created a new neighborhood using the Desiderata Valley map. Made a house for a single father and teen son. It was way too big lol. I had no idea what size was good.
Then I added a bowling alley and a restaurant to the world.

Didn't play that save for too long but wow, those first build experiences in Sims 2 were super fun!

I vaguely remember just going with the flow of the pleasant's house I let Daniel have his cake and eat it to, Kaylynn got pregnant and when she got her first bump Mary sue and the girls stood in front of the kitchen opening and wouldn't let her pass. She died of hunger right there and a deviant simmer was born...fun times.

Hi :)

I did play the Tutorial first but then I made sisters to play in Pleasantview. I wanted to play both the Fortune and Family to see how they would play. They had a lot of parties and worked hard... then I moved on. :)

The first time i've played, it was the unlucky Roth family. Why unlucky ? Because i didn't play the tutorial first. Stella and Morty died of hunger i think (i was like "Yes you are hungry but how do i cook ?!" ) , i do remember that Morty died in his greenhouse btw. Xander got taken by the social service. Only Sandra survive this mess, i end up putting her in the family bin and quickly went playing the tutorial.
Way later (1 or 2 years actually), i was wondering what family to play next, when i've noticed that Sandra was still in the family bin after all this time. I knew how to play, so it was time to make her happy. She end up married and had a baby girl, and i thought i could adopt a child too. I was pretty surprise when i saw Xander showing up :D

Wow, I can't remember, but I know I played the tutorial and really liked that couple and their house. I went to read lessons about how to make a deck, wow, that blew my mind and custom music, custom TV shows, all the other custom stuff like your own video game etc. Then I think if I remember correctly I checked out the hoods and their stories, was so afraid I would mess them up that I started my own custom hood with a couple and a son. I wouldn't play toddlers forever, like with Brandi because I was afraid of them. lol I was afraid I would kill the family. After that I started building and playing my own custom hoods and it was a few years or longer before I even touched the premade households in the Maxis hoods.

I didn't buy any EPs for at least a year and half so that's why I love TS2 so much and see how much depth it had because I stuck with the base game didn't even think about EPs until like early 2006.

I played the tutorial and tried learning in Pleasnat Valley before I started to set up towns with the maps instead.I started my own town in UC and it's still there to be played though new couples are starting to move in and get settled.I'm setting up for a BACC in TS2 and that one will take a while to grow.It's easy to move them to a new neighborhood if a shopping district or downtown is assigned to your town.It's done just like any other move where you'd have the family start packing up if they're all moving and evict them to move them into their new home.
