My first serious boyfriend when I was a teen had a really fun mom. And she loved The Sims. One day I was hanging out at their home and she insisted I should play the game. I was immediately hooked. I had played videogames my whole life but nothing like The Sims, I knew right then and there that that was going to be my favourite game ever.
Then, a couple of years later, the trailer for The Sims 2 came out and words can't describe how excited I was when I saw the different lifestages and the female pregnant sim. I still get goosebumps when I see that trailer.
I leave it here in case you are newer to the game or forgot about it after so many years.

It is a shame that TS2 did not look exactly like that as it was said that a lot was 'lost' during a fire at EA but watching it again it is interesting about how 'adult' things really where back then. The Sims 1 really did play on those adult themes alot as well but it was still subtle.
I do feel that one problem with TS4 was that it has vered 'towards the left' in favour of appealing to younger players but you got to look at how old most people where when they first played The Sims 20 years ago and have actually aged 20 years and are longing for something that would be more adult yet still Sims friendly
