Do you remember the first time you played a sims game?

I was at least five when I first started playing The Sims on the GameCube, back in 2003. I honestly don’t remember too many memorable moments from the game, other than being absolutely horrified whenever a burglar would come by. The music terrified me. :D I already knew how to play because I’d watched my mother play through the whole game multiple times before, and I understood the concept since I’d also watched my oldest sister play TS1 on PC.
