What happened in your first ever Sims family?
I was just thinking about when I first started playing The Sims. I was quite young, maybe 6 or 7. I remember making myself in CAS (or choosing a blonde head, lol) and cheating for money to get a nice ...

I was already creating wallpapers and floors before the game was released. I had created content for SimCity 2k and when I saw the ads for The Sims, I bought it day 1. Opened up SimFreaks on Mar 17, 2000 to share walls and floors. I was hooked before it even came out LOL
Almost everyone played Bob and Betty Newbie first, as that was the tutorial house. Bob and Betty hated each other and there was only one bed and they wouldn't sleep together, so they were often suffering, starving and in a really bad mood. They eventually had a baby, but there wasn't much room in their house for the crib, and it always seemed to end up in a spot that made access to the bed difficult, so you had to move it. The baby got taken away, because I couldn't get it to stop crying. Until I learned the feed, rock, rock trick LOL I'm pretty sure Bob died because Bella killed him.
Because next I played the Goths. Bella was a serial killer. I would create these stories about her and she would be at the chopping block, I would pause the game and move her around with the MoveObjects On cheat code. Bob actually came over and died someway, so I moved his body to the living room and I made blood stained carpets. Bella would be standing over him with the knife from the chopping block and then I would screenshot it (before we had any in-game camera) and write my story. She was also notorious for drowning people in the pool. She killed off the Roomies, the Pleasants and the Newbies. :smiley:
But the most memorable death was a house....The family was just a means to and end. Don't remember who it was. I built this house that I intended to share on the website. So they were going to have to die. After the house was all decked out and looking pretty cool, I decided to kill them off. I turned off automation, so that my sims would stay where I put them, I flipped the fireplace to the outside wall, placed rugs around the patio and put the cheap brown chairs on them. Sat the whole family on chairs and had one light a fire then sit down. As they were all burning to death, the fire traveled through the wall and started burning up the living room, the fireman showed up and was trying to put out the fully-ablaze living room, when the fire traveled to the kitchen and bedroom, each time traveling through the walls. The fireman would put out a fire in the living room, then run and put one tile out in the kitchen, then to the bedrooms always running past fires to put one specific one out. Eventually the whole house was on fire. It took the fireman forever to put the fires out and everything was in ashes. My sims were dead. I was devastated. The only thing that remained was the walls. Then the maid showed up started cleaning up the ashes. It took a very long time to clean up all the floors. I didn't save the house. I reloaded and this time I built a wall out in the yard, put the fireplace on it, placed the rugs and chairs and burned them away from the house.
