Happy Birthday to the Sims... :)
I didn't get into playing the original Sims when it first came out and I didn't play TS2 when it out. It wasn't until after TS3 came out when I finally decided to try TS2 in 2010 when I brought The Sims 2 Deluxe Edition and then every other compilation afterwards. Now I have TS2UC, I also play TS3 which I got into in 2011 and I play TS4 when I downloaded it for free when in 2019 when Origin was giving it for free for a few days in the Spring of that year. So you can say that I was somewhat of a late comer to the Sims franchise.
This is my Simself's boyfriend and their son having birthday cake when it was their son's birthday, so I will use to celebrate the Sims birthday as well... :)
