Oh gee, how did I miss this thread? Well, here I am! I'm a long-time player of Maxis simulation games, like SimFarm, SimAnt and SimCity, from way back in the 1990s. Gosh that seems so long ago. So it was only natural that the original The Sims was a must-have for me when it first came out in 2000. I have been joyfully simming ever since.

Born and raised in So. Calif., I come from the rustic era (lol) of hula hoops and 19-inch TVs that only came in black and white. When I was 5 yrs. old, I won a Twist dance contest out of 30 other contestants at a Mattel Corp. (toy company) promotional. I have loved dancing ever since. I still have my very first Barbie doll from 1963. I worked for Government for 33+ years, now retired. Been happily married for 38 years to my soulmate and have 3 living children and 2 beautiful grandchildren. Besides simming, I love reading, crocheting, horses, and kittycats. I also enjoy a good game of mahjong.

I'm an optimist at heart and always try to see that silver lining in the clouds. I enjoy the forums and the variety of discussions about my favorite game. It is wonderful to experience the humor, camaraderie and input from people from all over the world that also love this game. As one who grew up for the first 40 years of my life without any internet, it's still incredible to me that the web and The Sims game make all this inter-connection possible, for which I am grateful.

Rosemow, thank you for the good cheer and pleasant vibes you always bring here. And now, pretty please, perhaps you could share a little something about yourself? :)

Hello @Pamhamlet :) Thankyou so very much for telling us about yourself. It is great that you have been enjoying simming for a long time, and enjoying the different Simming games and versions. You would have had many nice happy and fun hours of simming through the years.
It was great that you won the Twist dance competition when you were little, and that has led you on to enjoying dancing ever since. It is lovely that you are a grandma to two special and precious grandchildren.
The forums are great that we can talk about The Sims with people all around the world. :)
I said a little bit about myself in this post

I enjoy meeting all the simmers here. :)
Happy simming! :)

I know what you mean Pamhamlet. There's a world of difference between life with internet - and life before internet. I don't think people who grow up With the internet really understand or think about life before internet much.

You said it! Like my grandma who went from horse and buggy days to automobiles. I remember she had a little old, dusty book on her shelf that was titled "Learning to Drive." When I opened it and started reading, it was actually about learning to drive a horse and carriage! No lie, I tell you. Lol! :p

Oh! Thank you Rose, I just clicked on your link and saw your other post. I haven't quite read through this entire thread, so I'm about to go back and read them all. They are so interesting, aren't they? :)

Hello @Juliee101 :) Welcome to the forums! It is great that you started simming with ps2, and then that led you onto the PC version.
