I discovered the Sims through my grown daughter. She was put onto it by her two sisters-in-law after my daughter and son-in-law (who was in the Army) got stationed in KS. He got deployed to Kuwait, so I was very glad she had The Sims to keep her mind occupied for the duration. We talked frequently over the phone and she would regale me with this game. She wasn't ready to move on to Sims2, wanting very much to get her fill of Makin' Magic, when her newly returned home hubby got her the Sims2 for Christmas. It was such an advancement over the first she was blown away. When they got back to our home state, she couldn't wait to show me the Sims2. I was hooked almost instantly. LOL Nobody, even me, saw that one coming. This was in 2005. I've played ever since.
Happy Anniversary, Sims!
I still want an updated version of Makin' Magic -- we've had Vacation, and Unleashed, and now even a form of Superstar, but Makin' Magic remains untouched. While I enjoy witches as a separate lifestate (never got much chance to play with them since Apartment Life was one of the two EPs that EA wouldn't let Aspyr port to the Mac -- something about the contract I never understood), I love the ability for all Sims to learn magic. Maybe they can combine the two -- witches/wizards (please, no "manwitch" stuff -- sounds silly and makes me hungry for Sloppy Joes) could maybe have an easier time develuping magic skill with fewer fails, and maybe there are some abilities that aren't available to the "muggle" Sims. But that's just my §0.02, adjusted for inflation. B)
