Since you started playing the VERY FIRST Sims game, even the first Simcity, how long ago was it?

I started with Sim Safari, Sim Tower, Sim Town, Sim Park, Sim City... not sure if those count or not? Maxis released those between 1994-1998 for Windows 95. That was when I really started with "simulations" But The Sims title itself, would be from TS1.

I started with Sim City and then moved on to The Sims in 2000.

How long have you been playing since you got your VERY FIRST sims game?

played sims vacation and base game with my sister before since she had them

but my first sims game was Makin' Magic in 2003 (as in that was the one i actually really wanted to have and i eventually managed to get my mom buy it for me)

still my favourite pack ever tbh

I don't really remember how long it was since I started to play first SimCity on my ZX Spectrum clone Didaktik M (probably only Czechs and Slovaks know what that was :D ), but I don't think it was over 30 years yet. It was, however, definitely over 25 years.

What I do remember, however, was my first family in Sims 1 back in 2000. And man was that a mess. I made 8 Sims family with two adults and six kids and it ended with fire in which both adults died and only the kids left. The game still, somehow, allowed me to play them, but I didn't want to. Still, despite this catastrophe, I was hooked, but started to create smaller families until I got the hang out of it Nowadays, though, I like to play with big families :p

Hahahaha.. Those were the days! I mean you went in having no idea what a tragedy that would be! I remember quickly becoming afraid to pretty much touch anything new with a sim I cared about. Before you did anything in Sims 1 it was like, hmmm, I think I will just save for the 400th time today..

Started playing in 2001

Sim City was my first game in the Sim Universe. Though, I didn't enjoy the genre as much as I'd hoped. I found what I was looking for when The Sims launched. I bought it on the first day and I've been with the franchise, in some form or other, ever since.

SimCity 2000 for the Playstation was my first Sims game.

Sims 3 is my first official sims game but I often borrowed the wii pets version and i owned like all the my sims games.

Memory isn't as good as it could be but I do know that I was definitely playing SimCity well before I married. Since my son is almost 22, 25-30 years would be a safe guess :p
