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

I was probably 11 or 12, went to a friends house with some other friends we all took turns (except me I didn't get a turn) playing families in strangetown, looks for the game for like a year to see how much I needed to save up for, waited for my birthday to come around then took my birthday money and bought sims 2 with Nightlife bundle and installed it onto the used computer I just got for my birthday. :>
