I remember my dad buying the sims 1 when it game out. We had to return it the first time because the laptop we had was terrrrrrible, but he later got a better one and we got the game again. We played through the Bob and Betty Newbie tutorial and immediately after we set Betty on fire with a grill. I wasn't able to get all the EPs for that one because my parents were the ones in charge of getting them, and my computer had limitations. TS2 came out around when I graduated high school, and I played that an awful lot. I even took a laptop with my sims with me on my honeymoon in 2008 :D
I had a computer made for TS3 and my husband left early in the morning on the day it was released to get it for me. I was in the early stages of pregnancy with my first son and I remember I had to leave playing WoW because morning sickness while I played that game would make me really dizzy, so it was perfect timing for the sims, although I remember feeling so frustrated at the lack of CC in the first months, and all the hiccups with story progression.
Years have passed, obviously. I've tried TS4, but I just can't get into as much. I think it's beautiful, but the gameplay is lacking for me. I've modded the heck out of TS3 and it's nice not having to worry about patches and updating. I can play pretty often, even with four kids now, going on 12 years of marriage. I hope there is a TS5, and if there is, that it's a decent upgrade, but TS3 has been pretty great and stable now that I've figured out a good balance of modding, CC, and a decent computer.
