Happy 5th Birthday Sims 4!

I started playing on day 1. September 2, 2014. I've enjoyed the game since the beginning. Even through the dark days of no toddlers. :p Looking forward to new content and new experiences in the coming years.

Me too! I started playing The Sims back in 2000 and each iteration has brought something new to enjoy and love about it. I moved on to TS4 shortly after release and it has come a long way since then. I still feel it has a lot of potential and I hope to see it continue to develop and improve for many years to come. :)

I started playing TS4 in December 2015. Up until then I was still very happy with TS3 and could not imagine switching to a game, which was so new that it would inevitably offer much less content. But I kept myself informed about what was going with the game by watching LGR's pack reviews and Andrew Arcade's LPs. When 'Get Together' came out I was finally convinced. The new concept of clubs and the beautiful town of Windenburg tipped the scales, so to speak. :)

I wish Sims 4 a Happy Birthday also. I skipped this version (for many reasons I will not get into) but, by gosh, it has grown exponentially. May it continue giving great pleasure and special moments for many years to come.

Oh, of course, I look forward to a Sims 5 down the road!!!

I started playing in August 2015 after getting the game on "sale" (paid full price anyways because I messed up somehow :/). I remember pulling a string of all-nighters playing and being super excited while hiding under the covers with my laptop so my parents wouldn't see the light from my screen. The first sims I made was my simself and one of my original characters as a roommate.

Ah, the Sims 4. It has opened up an entirely new world for me to pour my creativity into. You could say before 2015 the sims has been the series I was searching for for a long time. I love it!

I started playing around the time it released. I might have got it a week in.. not sure. I wasn't on the forums at that time and got my news through videos I'd been looking up now and then when I heard about the new game coming. I have loved this game since I opened it. Enjoyed buying most packs as they came unless life got in the way. I've really enjoyed the ride of playing this game and getting DLC as released. It's been fun to watch it change and fill out... still is. Still anticipating so much.
Happy Birthday!

@Hermitgirl I remember starting the Happy Play thread and being terrified that it would be derailed over that weekend when the moderators were off. I asked you, @luthienrising, and @fullspiral to help me keep an eye on it. ? And here it is, still going strong, thanks to @LosaruTaiyo and all the wonderful simmers sharing their game. ♥️

Playing since launch. I was playing Sims 2 by the time Sims 4 was announced and went from "I don't need another Sims game anytime soon" to "Why isn't it here already!!!" pretty quickly. I'm still playing Sims 2, but especially with the recent additions of Strangerville and Island Living, Sims 4 has become my favorite. (I don't like to admit that, normally, but since it's Sims 4's b-day...)

I remember it well :) and glad it's still going!

Thank you <3 Almost 3 years now since I started playing this game. Thanks @simgirl1010 for the wonderful thread that has helped me share my stories, even if my posting has slowed, but that's other factors.
