What order did you get the sims in?

I started with Sims 1 way back when, I even played Sims Online and had a subscription to that for quite a while. I can still remember making Robots in the Robot Factory. I still have the boxes for most of the Ts1, Ts2 stuff. Ts3 not so much with the digital option, though I did get that collectors edition with the Plumbob Flash drive. I miss pre-order and collectors edition goodies would get from those editions. 3 was pretty amazing up until the load times and glitches just got to be too much. I really miss the content from World Adventures that allowed for traveling to Egypt, China or France. Especially Egypt with the Tombs. I know Jungle sorta does some of this but I liked the different look to those worlds and the photos could take. I really hope the next Expansion in the works is something like World Adventures now that we have the long awaited University.

Sims 2, then 3, then 4

The order for me was 3, 4, 2. I got TS2 when the Ultimate Collection was free on Origin a few years ago. I've never played 1.

Sims1 is installed on the same PC I owned when it was a new game. I have all the add-on packs for it. And still load it up just because I can. LOL

Sims2 was purchased on release day, is installed on the same PC I played it on back then, and I still have all of the packs. I also play it a couple times a year.

Sims3 was also purchased on release day. I purchased every pack along with every item from the Sims3 Store. It required a ton of mods, but it never failed to be as entertaining as The Sims and Sims2. Whenever Sims4 gets boring or ticks me off, I go back to playing Sims3.

Sims4 was purchased on its release day, I played it for about an hour then promptly went back to playing Sims2 and 3 for over two years until a couple of packs and toddlers were released. For four years I went back and forth between Sims3 and 4 until Seasons was released for Sims4, and it became my main game to play. I do not own all the Sims4 packs, though. I decided not to buy a few of those because there just didn't seem to be very much new gameplay included that appealed to me.

I got sims games starting off on PS2 The Sims Bustin’ Out was first, then The Sims Urbz PS2,
Then sims 1,2,3,4 on PC with resistance to switch games until roughly, 2-4 years after release date for 3&4.

Then I jumped on the hype train and have enjoyed each ride ?

Never actually played TS2. I started with TS1 at the very beginning (as in, the money cheat was still klapaucius) and played all the way through. Only EP I missed was Unleashed, although Superstar made my computer strain so hard I uninstalled it. Computer wasn't good enough for TS2, so I didn't play the Sims for a very long time.

When TS4 was released, Origin did a deal to get TS3 and the first nine EPs for really cheap (AU$71!), and I eventually got the other two EPs as well. Only started on TS4 in May when base game was released for free, now have all EPs and GPs and half of the SPs. Now basically only play TS4 because the lag on TS3 is too much for me.

1, 2, 3, mideivel, mideivel pirates, stories and 4.

I didn’t have my own computer then so i couldn’t play sims 1 or sims 2 (I did play the Urbz and a few Sims 2 on console but it can compare).
I started with TS3 and I just had Pets and Seasons (which my macbook could barely run already).
Now I play TS4, I have all EPs, almost all GPs (missing Jungle Adventures) and most SPs.
