I admit I was pretty much out of my depth in the beginning, my Sim kept dying because her house burnt down... but I loved it, started to buy the expansion packs that were on sale, too.
I think Sims 3 was out by then already, and I spent way more time on that one than on the second instalment even though I never liked how the Sims looked. I got Sims 4 only a couple of years ago, maybe four or five, I think... and it's the only one that I've played very thoroughly and for hundreds of hours at this point. I still have the old games, TS3 is installed on my computer, too... but whenever I think about starting it up and create a new save, I'm like "Nah, you have seven households with stories in TS4, you can't just ditch them".
I did start playing Sims Medieval a couple of weeks ago, though. Boy, is that one fun 😁
