Which iteration of The Sims did you start from?

I started with the sims on gamecube! Good times! Loved the series ever since.

Sims 1, although I only really got hooked with making magic.

Technically I started with Sims bustin out for GameCube, but got the Sims 2 for PC later on. I picked up Sims 2 around the time seasons came out, I was a newlywed trying to waste time while my husband was at work all day (he worked days, I worked evenings for a few years). I’ve been hooked ever since, and now my kid is starting to finally show interest in playing too!

Sims 1. Man it was so long ago. I don't think I could ever go back to those horrible graphics and non-aging. Makin' Magic though... hard to believe we had magic in the series before toddlers, teenagers or elders!

My daughter mentioned Sims 3 for PC back in 2011 at EB GameStop. We enjoyed the Generations, Island Paradiso, Into The Past, Pets, Showtime, Supernatural, University, World Adventure & Master Suite.

My step-brother got me into the game when I was 8 or so.

I've known about the Sims for a while (I remember the adds for the original Sim City on TV) but other than messing with the CAS demo for Sims 3 (which eventually led me to Daz Studio and CG character art that way) and playing with Sims Medieval a few times, I didn't actually start playing Sims seriously until Sims 4 was free on Origin.

And I have no regrets.

The Sims 1 <3 I remember how much fun was the base game. And then I found about expansion packs, it was a whole new world. The music from that game was something else also.

Started playing at age 9 with the sims1. Here I am at age 29 still loving the sims.

I remember first watching one of my friends playing it on the PS2 when I was like 10 years old. I wanted it so badly... and then I discovered it was on the PC (with expansion packs). I asked for it as a Christmas present. However, I actually got to open it early because my school had a snow day sometime during December (my mom always let my sister and I open an early X-Mas gift when this happened). I was so excited! It was actually The Sims: Deluxe Edition (which came with the 'Livin Large' expansion pack). I remember playing it for HOURS that night! :heart: I've been in love with this franchise ever since! :smile: I'm 24 years old now... so I've been playing for about 14 years.

I ended up getting Sims 2 the following year as an Easter present. Unfortunately, my PC lagged terribly with it... but I played it anyway! lol Eventually, we got a PC that could actually handle it well. The same happened with Sims 3... I got that for my birthday in 2009... but, again, the PC we had was so slow with it, but I still played the best that I could! lol

Then, in 2014, I purchased Sims 4. This was the first time I actually got to play a Sims game without experiencing lagging issues when I first bought it... lol
