Today just feels special...

Favorite??? I started playing at the beginning of the Sims3. I mostly play 4 now because it's faster to play, but Sims remains my favorite for all the content, the open world, being able to really be in control of a whole household, being able to control the whole household no matter where one of your sims were at, being able to see around the whole world without going there to see where other sims were, babies freed, color wheel, World Adventures, video games, riders/playpen/walker/ect. for toddlers, swings/play mats/strollers/carseats for infants, cars of all kinds, casinos, elevators, houseboats, being able to make your own resort, place for mermaids, being able to make our own worlds and place lots, cemeteries, Gunther Goth, being able to make any supernatural you want from CAS including plant sims, being able to select boy/girl friend from CAS relationships, signs and favorite foods for sims in CAS, pizza oven, unicorns/dragons/birds/reptiles/real fish tanks and fish to collect/real collecting/bugs, sculptor station, bikes for all, kissing booth, and too much more to recall. Even though it isn't a pack that is what I loved from the Sims3. Packs? Hard to say. I love World Adventures, LateNightCity-vampires, Island Paradise, Generations, Lucky Palms/the casino from the store. To pick one... between World Adventures, Island Paradise, and Generations. I didn't use mods, cc, and had a decent computer, so I didn't have the problems others had and I played all packs and the complete store at the same time.

Happy Birthday to The Sims! Thank you for always giving us lots of fun times!

Do you have a favorite moment from The Sims series? What's the hands-down b e s t pack we ever released? Let me know!

I started simming with TS3, soon after it was released. My favorite moment is each one of the days of parenting in TS3 (even if sometimes it was a nightmare.)

What is the best pack? That is always tough question for me. I'd like to say "All packs", but I tried to narrow them down to:

• Ambitions and Late Night for TS3
  
• Get to Work and Eco Lifestyle for TS4
  

Launch day player here, and after all this time still in awe about how I can have a romantic trip to the beach...

... in the same game where I can have spellcasters dueling on Mars.

My favorite expansions have always been the vacations ones, because they gave my sims something to look forward to while going through their raise skills-go to work-buy furniture to raise skills more efficiently-go to work for more money routine.

My favorite pack is Makin' Magic. Sad that the franchise hasn't been able to surpass a pack that came out 22 years ago. Even sadder, I'm still waiting for my boy Torch to return.

Nothing like a series, loved hated or inbetween to remind you why you feel as old as you do.

I had several packs for sims 1 on PC but started with the sims bustin' out so it wasn't long before I went to sims 2 so I have a lot of memories with sims. Good and bad and I get why bugs or not if it's running it's going to make me happy anyhoo one memory that has stuck with me is playing with the goths, I do not know why but I had a deep hate for Bella before I got ts2. In Ts1 I figured out how to axe sims and had separated her from her family to let her make some food on rugs surrounded by however many fireplaces I could fit and then got one of those calls they had. Asking to adopt a child and I felt like it was some game related sign the watcher should be ashamed I immediately saved her to go see her son. Anyone remember those calls I has stuck in my head for years.

As for pack I use some a lot more than others so hard to pick one how about the one I really found how random my stories can be? Ah Get Together I made a single sim and she hit it off with Joaquin which I've mentioned before but I'm almost positive not recently. They got engaged and married behind her house, then I had a decent enough connection to get on the gallery and found a sim of a user I'm not even sure hangs out around anymore and she went over to meet him with her new husband. Joaquin had to go to work and she was meant to have told him that that was her brother not her husband.

They started a life together and it wouldn't be until two or three kids later her husband would wise up I think he called her to congratulate her, her boyfriend kicked her out and I built some "woods" for her to live in. She would stay pretty unkempt until I opened the game and found her son outside that lot as if he'd gone exploring after school. It took her man a while to take her back but that night he took the kids to bring her home at least. I didn't lose the save until after I had their eldest children cautiously move out to start their own lives. I remember a lot more but this is long enough yeah?

Great, now I have to go sim...good thing I'm on vacation.

Happy birthday Sims <3

My favorite moments will always be the first time I bought my little gnomes to live in sims Makin Magic <3

I could watch them for hours upon hours, looking after my garden and getting a little drunk in the wine press :D

Also have been playing sims since the very beginning <3

I remember buying the Sims 1 when you just started this franchise. I originally bought it as Christmas gift for my daughter. She wanted the game so badly. But, as a mother, I wanted to check it out first and make sure it was okay for someone her age. Well, I COULD NOT STOP PLAYING IT!!! I went out and bought another copy just for her because I was hooked and wasn't going to give up that game for anybody. I've got all the Sims 1, Sims 2, Sims 3, and Sims 4 games. I've been an "accidental " Simmer for about 22 years now. Happy Birthday! Thank you for all the fun for the past couple of decades. :)

I remember, slowly learning all the cheats so my sims would not die as much. Now they only die of old age if I let them. lol

Oh wow, Happy Birthday Sims, I feel old. My son made me get him Sims 1 and finally convinced me to try it. Been hooked since. My favorite was Sims 2 Apartment Life. I still love playing Sims 3, I like trying custom worlds and the open neighborhood.

Now back to my regularly programmed lurking.

Happy birthday Sims! B) I really love this game! <3 <3
