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

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

Crashed Dad's work IBM-PC back in high school with MS-DOS SimCity. He really should've bought the Atari when we were kids. Probably would've been more of a console player, than a PC gamer, burning my eyes for hrs on end in the distant lands of RPG, simulation & time mgmt...

Since the beginning. Loved SimCity!

It was in 2002. My sister and I started with The Sims Deluxe Edition and bought The Unleashed soon after that and I remember The Unleashed was very new back then and The Superstar hadn't released yet or even advertised, so it was in 2002. Almost 20 years ago... it feels like it wasn't that long ago and at the same time so much has happened in between.

I was in my early teens when I found Sim City 4 at a local store. Officially, it was the first "Sims" franchise game I played, and that was around 2008-9 or so.

sims 2 castaway on ds was mine

I played sims city in 1987 on my old commodore 64.

As I've said in multiple threads, I started playing around a year before TS3: Supernatural was released, so 2011-12-ish. That was the first pack I ever bought for the game. I eventually bought every EP after that.

Coincidentally, I'm just now starting a save in TS3: Midnight Hollow (store world) where my sim is a vampire. He's supposed to be Vlad's (TS4) father. I guess you could say I'm going back to my sims roots. :)
