i have now been playing the sims for 19 years thanks EA

I'm 39 and I started playing The Sims in 2000 with a cousin that's 3 years under me. So we've been playing for 19 years as well. I have gotten a lot of my family hooked on it as well. They would come over for family gatherings, and I'm in my room for the most part playing away. All my little cousins are sitting there watching me play. It's a wonderful game. And I'll continue as it grows!!
