19 years of The Sims - Happy anniversary!

Was at a friends' house waiting to play table top D&D and they were playing The Sims (original version in 2000). I fell in love had to have it once it was ported to the Mac OS by Aspyr (yay Aspyr!). Have the full run of TS1, but currently can't play it as it cannot install on my newer computer. Won't get rid of the disks though. Then came The Sims 2 which again I saw at another friend's house and they let me play a bit. Bought Sims 2 Base Game with funds from a gift card I got at work and have the full run of the Mac port which is everything up to Bon Voyage, but nothing afterward as Maxis and Aspyr couldn't agree on new terms to renew the agreement at the time. Still play it as Aspyr reworked Sims 2 to run on newer Macs (again Yay Aspyr!). Couldn't play Sims 3 on the computer I had at the time, but then that computer died and got my current computer. Bought Sims Medieval and started playing it and then got hooked and bought Sims 3. Own the full run of Sims 3 (yes, even Katy Perry). Had to wait about 6 months for Sims 4 for the Mac, but hey, we got it. :)

Thank you Will Wright, Maxis and EA for my favorite game of all time! Loved playing with my Doll House as a little girl and this is my grown up version of my favorite toy.

While we all have differing opinions regarding the current and previous versions, we all can agree on one thing. Our love of this game franchise in all its various forms. We all came to this game though various ways and means, but to "fight" as passionately as we all do shows our love of our little simmies.

Happy Birthday The Sims! :)
