I don't know when exactly I started playing, except that it was sometime after Sept. 4, 2004 - because my first game was the Sims 2. Apparently it didn't get along with my old PC though, because I had issues with my mouse getting stuck and creating strings of copies of itself. I wasn't online much then so it never occurred to me to try to find out what was going on or if it could be fixed. I went back to playing SimCity 4 (I think, it was either 4 or 3000) for years after that.
I took a break from sims until after 3 came out. I think it was the Pets expansion pack that caught my eye in the store, and I got the game as my birthday present. I've been playing almost nonstop ever since, having a blast seeing what my sims will do I learned early on I liked making families and watching their genetics from one generation to the next. Then there was the challenge of building, without the game telling me what to build -my big peeve with SimCity, though it's the only game that had me staying up all night playing.
