@MissNOFX , I started with The Sims on PS2 which came out in January of 2003. I loved it but it was missing pets. Other than that I was thrilled. I knew there were expansion packs for the PC that the console versions didn't have, but I wasn't interested until I saw a display for the Sims Unleashed !!! Unleashed had actually came out in Nov of 2002, but I hadn't played any Sims game so I didn't notice it. Once I saw it , I had to get the PC version and that expansion.! I wasn't planning on getting any more expansion packs, buuuuut.... well, you can guess how that went! 🤣
I have played all packs of TS1, TS2, TS3, and TS4 (but I didn't have all the stuff from the TS3 Sims Store! ) I've also played The Sims Medieval and its EP on PC. I've played some more console versions (TS2 and TS3 console versions were very different from the PC versions.) and I've played Sims Bustin' Out and The Urbz: Sims in the City, as well as 3 of the My Sims on console (just not the party game ones since at that time I had no friends or family interested in video games, and my husband didn't want to play the Sims). There are some Nintendo DS versions I never played, and I don't play the mobile versions (though I played a little of one of them for a short while) , and I had no interest in playing the Sims Online when it existed.
@GiardiniDiMarzo , the Sims 3 is my least favorite. I didn't like how the open world had no people when you got to a venue, so it was an empty world most of the time, and it kept getting laggy and crashing, But I still loved some things about it
My favorite is The Sims 2! 🥰🥳 I was obsessed with that one! 🤣 It is the GOAT! 🥇
I've owned and played sims 1,2,3, and 4 with every expansion pack....sooooooo much money and time over the years, but I'm still obsessed lol...my two kids have grown up playing too! I raised them right lmao
- @PugLove888 The Sims 2 is the 🐐 indeed! I had so much CC in that game, now I only own a couple.
I can still remember the first tv ad for the Sims 1. I got it for my playstation and spent weeks trying to find out how to hang wallpaper and stop my Sims from catching fire!
My real obsession with it began when Sims Bustin Out platinum edition was released, the graphics were so much better and I loved the challenges. I moved on to Sims 2 and Sims 2 Pets after that and The Urbz. I got The Sims 3 on PC at first and that was where I discovered collecting. I loved finding the hidden gems and butterflies. My late mother was an awesome gamer (Desert Strike, Toejam and Earl, Sonic) and she got an Xbox before I did but I wasn't keen on it at first. Later though I got an Xbox 360 after computer problems and I got Sims 3 again for that and then Sims 3 Pets. I also loved Sims Castaway. I got Sims Freeplay on Android tablet but I personally don't like to play online with other players and without social points there was so much you could miss out on.
For the past several years it's Sims 4 plus now nearly all the packs on an Xbox series S. I didn't add vampires because I'm petrified of them, same with upcoming werewolves lol (although I'm happy for players that wanted them). I wish I could add those worlds without the scary monsters because they look amazing. I am an unashamed wuss! I can just about cope with the Jungle Adventure skeletons until they do that neck twist thing and start playing a tune on their ribcage!
I'm sure I'm not the only one who has been glad to have the Sims during the last couple of years. In fact it's always provided a welcome distraction. The bugs may send me up the wall but I still love my Sims.
Sometimes I play the retro channel on the Sims 4 radio just to hear the old themes!
I'm obsessed with horror stuff lol...I'm sorry that stuff freaks you out. Im scared of chalkboards lol....chalk gives me unpleasant goosebumps...we all have something don't we lol!
