First experiences with The Sims (20th birthday)

My first Sims game was the Sims Unleashed I loved playing with all the dogs and cats in the neighborhood and thought the raccoon that would steal your trash was really funny. I remember the first big surprise I had was when my sim died, her husband pleaded with the Grim Reaper and she came back as a Zombie!
I also loved going on vacation I spent way to many hours trying to win tickets so my sims could buy souvenirs.
Another big surprise was the ending of Sims Bustin Out on Gameboy Advance, I don't want to spoil it but it was a big twist!
