How did you start your first save?
When you first started playing, how did you start your first save game? And have you changed how you start new saves in comparison to your first?

The first time I played Sims 2, I made my own family to figure out how to play. I learned fast, and also got bored fast. I was a kid with ADHD, so I always had to make new Sim families every few weeks to stay entertained. My families rarely ever became rich, as in had more than 10k, because I would get bored very fast. I did love having families, raising kids, college, ect, but eventually I just got bored and made a new couple to do it all over again with. I didn't last even two generations in my families.
As an adult, though, I play much differently than I did as a kid. I haven't played in 2 years (but am starting again today!), but I do remember my past few times of playing. I was playing rotationally, which is something I never did as a kid because loading screens existed and I thought they were evil. I was making proper story lines for my Sims, and keeping track of what was going on with them. Although, I still don't really like rotational play, in all honesty. It does feel like a chore, but that's how the Sims 2 works - There's no story progression unless you purposefully progress it. I'm used to it now, so it's easy and still fun!
