When I was around a teenager and had my first solid job I bought a PC. Prior to that I had an old original Apple Macintosh so this was a huge technological upgrade for me haha. The Sims game was just released at that time, so I bought the game for my computer and loved it. It was so amazing to me that Bob and Betty Newbie could drink coffee and listen to their stereo in the game at the same time as I was drinking coffee and listening to my stereo. Anytime I see Sims 1 or 2 items in Sims 4 I get so happy. :heart:
The game series has kept me entertained literally for twenty years, but I did not actively start playing the Sims 4 until maybe a few years ago. I can't remember when exactly, but I had no interest to play it without toddlers, seasons etc. and also I had no interest in the cartoony graphics of Sims 3 and rabbit hole filled open laggy world. So technically, I played Sims 2 right up until a few years ago. :joy:
I discovered Sims Freeplay and briefly fell in love with it, but my game suddenly got so dark because I got attached to my families and they introduced these Life Orbs and I had to mass slave and kill all my Sims in order to build expansion areas and it was just so, so horrible. Can you imagine if in Sims 4 you couldn't unlock a new expansion pack unless you slaved your Sims in repetitive tasks until elder age and then harvested orbs from their dead bodies to pay for the new areas? What the cowplant was that about. Then they added a store with costs up to almost a hundred dollars and time limited quests where I could never actually complete anything in time and missed out on all the new items, which were then offered for sale. So now I just like to stop in once in a while, especially on holidays when they have fun stuff happening, because I really like their toddlers, babies and cute interactive items and quests.
I also play other games too, mainly casual games like hidden object puzzles on my PC or puzzle, farming and cooking games on my iPad.
