I remember when TS1 first came out. I honestly could not understand why anyone would want to play a game like that. Why would I want to deal with having a sim eat, sleep & pee. It just did not sound fun, in any way! But I had a few online friends that played and one kept after me, wanting me to give it a try.
I finally gave in and said I would but when I went to the store to buy it, TS2 was on the new release shelf and the box said they took care of their needs better. Needless to say, I bought TS2 instead. I also thought it would be nicer to get the new version that everyone would be learning, then one people were leaving behind.
I've been hooked on sims ever since I got TS2 installed and started playing the tutorial. (for ts3, I loved CAW)
I mentioned my daughter in my previous post in this thread and she still plays occasionally. She bought TS4 on Easter and called me to tell me how much she was enjoying it and talked me into finally buying it (before toddlers were added, TS4 wasn't even a blip on our radar). The timing was right since it was on sale for $10 (and the EPs were 40% off). By the end of the week, I'd bought every expansion pack, game pack and stuff pack.
