older generations unite!

I'm loving all the mentions of the Amigas. That was my first computer too but I don't recall ever playing a Sims game on it. A lot of ours were demos though, from floppy disks you got free with magazines.

My first computer was an Apple IIgs my father bought for the family in 1987 or 88. I bought my own computer (PC) around 1995 or 96. I dated a guy whose kid brother got me hooked on Civilization so I bought my own PC so I could play Civilization and other new games . I still play that series! I also wanted internet access. (Ah, the lovely dial up days!)

I love Civilization too, next to Sims 3 & 4. :p
My Dad actually got the 1st Civilization for the Amiga Compu PC back in the late 80s. I now play Civilization VI. And I've even based some of my households on my favorite leaders from Civil VI. ;)

Turning 58, i started with sims3, but play sims4,have both,
love playing sims, it's my place to escape :)

Late 30s and I started with the first Sims game the second it was released!

Early 50s, been playing since Sims 1 since my 20s :). Also have a PS5 and a Xbox, I love video games but Sims is my favorite <3.

I too am wayyyyy beyond the "target age group"!

I have a saying on my profile for another game, that I live by everyday.

"I don't regret growing older ..... it's a privilege denied to many!"

Honk, honk! Days away from 73, still playing both TS2 & 4, started with TS1 day 1.

You could do the Jack Benny thing, always 39.

This thread has really uplifted me. Mostly hearing from so many folks in their 60s and 70s who are avid Simmers. Sometimes I wonder about my future as I age (I am almost 39 and have not found the life partner I hoped for, or had any children as of yet. Of course it may happen but it also may not!) Sometimes when I meet with older folks for work, some of them are really struggling with physical challenges and loneliness or isolation. When I picture my own older years, I often think "If I still have the Sims, that's one thing that will give me joy for as long as I live." It's so nice to hear that that's a real possibility. I think sometimes I imagine that as I age, for some reason I will no longer enjoy it. So thanks to all who have shared your ages and your interests. You're awesome, keep on Simming!
