Which iteration of The Sims did you start from?

My friends played sims 2 but I didn’t until sims 3

It’s the best imo

personally count it as ts2 spinoff
but yay for the urbz gang! always had love for it though i don't recall ever finishing because i kept wanting to chill at gasoline row :joy:

@Simmingal I played Urbz on that old Nokia N-Gage. Very nostalgic. :) They had a bit of farming and a killer rooster lol

I started playing November 2017 :)

I started with the Sims 1 but I didn't like it cause it seemed quite pointless to me without any aging or death. Sims 2 was the game that really got me hooked on this game series.

Sims 3, but I only got it after the Sims 4 had been out and my friend had an extra copy she gave me. I loved that game and bought several expansions. Sadly, my computer can no longer run it as well as it used to. So until I get a better computer, I enjoy the Sims 4.

There was plenty of death in that game actually. That's where the original take the pool ladder away came about, because they couldn't get out of the pool any other way. The not aging part was weird, especially for the kids. It was the first one though and if you started with it that's the way it was. I do remember playing it and thinking oh I wish they could do this or that. The main problem with that game for me was it was all time/need management. It was hard to have fun on your sim for long. Fun was a need and sometimes you got it out of the way because the next need was demanding attention. There were mods of course later. I really got into modding things like needs to make it more enjoyable as time went on.

The original! Bought on release. I'd gotten into Maxis games via SimCity 2000 and SimCity 3000, so The Sims was a no brainer. Switched to Sims 2 in 2004, and then to Sims 4 in 2018. I have the Sims 3 and many of its expansions, but I never embraced it.

Yeah I should of clarified that I meant natural deaths such as dying from old age. To me the game without aging seems quite anti life simulation as those things are a huge part of what life is about. I was hooked on the Sims 2 though from the moment they announced those things would be included. :D

Oh ok, TS3 then. I would have gotten TS2 but I didn’t have my own laptop then :( I only played TS2 on console.

This poll is specifically for the PC version. :)
