What happened in your first ever Sims family?

i dont remember, i was like 4 years old when i started playing the sims 1, but as far i can remember, i used to set houses in fire. My biggest fear back to that time was having a stove lol.

Man, I first played it about a month after it came out, so I was about 5. My first Sim family was the Austin family, and I tried to recreate WWE wrestler "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. I moved him into an empty lot, then WWE Raw came on TV behind me, I watched half the show without pausing the game, and when I turned around Steve was dead. R.I.P Sim Steve Austin. 2000-2000.

I started with the TS1 tutorial, so Bob and Betty Newbie. I actually don't remember what happened to them. I think I just played them until I got the hang of it. In TS1, I remember that I created some bachelor who lived in a mansion and had or adopted a child who never aged up because kids didn't in TS1. I also had a house of three roommates who were all dating each other. Actually, most of my households in TS1 had like 5 boyfriends or girlfriends (or a combo of both) because others only got jealous if they literally saw what was happening in the same room (yes, a bit like TS4). Therefore, a whole bunch of my sims were total players. I also had a wannabe Superstar who looked somewhat like Courtney Love and who would do anything to be famous.

In TS2, I liked the intro of genetics and aging so I played a random family as they got really rich and moved into a huge mansion that I built. Their house was really too big and it took forever to walk around but the dad was a doctor who got to around the top of his field. The mom might have been a business exec. Their kids all got into private school through schmoozing. Later on, I played their kids as they went to university. The son was a straight A student in a posh fraternity who ended up dating this beautiful, wealthy girl. The daughter was nerdier and was going to be a science geek. I can't remember if the daughter found love; I'm not sure if I got to that point with her. I remember building fraternities and sororities.

In TS3, I think my first family was a blond guy and his redheaded wife who worked in the culinary career. I don't remember what he did, maybe tech. They had a child and they threw parties that Don Lothario, the Calientes and co would attend. That household started out modestly. I think I moved onto other houses because I don't remember more than the partying. I think Don tried to hit on that guy's wife which would not be surprising.

In TS4, I started with one random sim who I dropped into the game to see what would happen. He was a blond Swedish guy who got a job in IT. I said that he was brought into town because he was transferred by a large international IT company, so he was new to Willow Creek. He bought Single Streamlet where his descendents still live in this day as part of my rotation. He married Summer Holiday because he hit it off with her when she visited him in the Welcome Wagon. They had two sons, one was a gay genius nerd who went into IT like his father. The other son was a cool rocker who married a French model and moved to Oasis Springs. The grandchildren of those sons are still in my game. The gay one adopted a daughter who recently died of old age. She has a son who is an astronaut living in that house and a daughter who married Hugo Villareal and moved into his estate. Each of them have kids now.

The rocker guy's son is also a musician like him. That son married Sofia Bjergsen and they are boho hipster musicians. They have twin boys one of whom is named Lars and who is incredibly artsy even as a child. He dresses like Jackson Pollock and is clearly destined for a creative life. I don't know what the other twin will be like. They are both still kids. They all interact with a bunch of other characters in my game. I decided to play the town broadly rather than to focus on one specific house.

In TS1, messed around a bit with premade sims and then made a modified SS and placed her on the empty lot at the top of the screen. (Thanks @WarGreymon77 for the screenshots; they bring back such great memories. By the way, like in the other games, neighbors always showed up when you moved in. You met new people when you invited over existing contacts and they asked if they could bring a friend.) Since my SS was single, and the lot was expensive, so she could afford only a couple of rooms and barely any furniture. It was kind of depressing, both for her and for me. After no more than an in-game week, I told her to clean up a flower vase that a friend had brought over. She went to pick it up, then started moaning and stomping her feet, and I got a message that she had died. I had recently saved, so I reloaded, and the same thing happened. Over and over. She just could not clean up that vase without... I don't know, accidentally breaking the glass and slicing an artery? I eventually just deleted the vase, but that sim was kind of ruined for me, and I ended up clearing the whole neighborhood and starting over.

I'm fairly certain that when I first played I plopped a household of 8 sims onto an empty lot gave them a computer and some jobs and wondered why they had died. Whoops.

I created a couple and moved them into a little house (not sure which one). That very morning, the wife was supposed to start breakfast, and caught on fire. I didn't know quick meal would probably not have caught the house on fire or her. She died, the husband couldn't go to work, eat, or sleep, I also had a clown painting in their house. It was horrible. >:) :D I didn't know to sell the painting or it would just get worse from there, because he wouldn't go to work, I had to start selling off furniture to buy his food. lol He wound up with hardly nothing in his house just to eat. The clown would not leave, lol, and from then on he became my pet project to get him to work, to buy him the best stuff, eventually, and to make him happy. It didn't always work out but he was the founder of this town and the death of his wife had really done a number on him. He became my favorite Sim and everything that ever happened when I rotated to other Sims revolved around him. He tried everything and he was the star of the show, lol, everything that I ever did after that was if other Sims would be a good mate for him, or a good neighbor, or a good enemy, or a good to live in the hood he lived in etc. The whole world revolved around my decissions of how it would effect him.

I vaguely remember some woman burning to death in the kitchen. I'm pretty sure that was my first sim? It was so long ago!


The first household I really remember is this single female sim I played. Pretty sure her last name was Dallas. I played her for so long. I'm pretty sure I had aging off. She was a barbie beauty who maxed out multiple careers, but the one that really stuck was Superstar. She was this ridiculously famous woman, she a had a gigantic mansion (Basically a rectangle xD).

I remember being so creeped out by the guy who'd come to sort through her trash that I hired a butler and would always send him out to go fistfight the creepy stalker fan by the garbage. She had a thing for her neighbor, Mortimer, but I didn't have the heart to break up the Goth family and refused to let her pursue him even though she'd flirt with him when I wasn't looking!! So, she eventually fired the butler and married him. Her and her original butler, now husband, had a baby. I think I remember being afraid my parents would come in while they were woohooing in the sheets and I'd have to explain myself? LOL. I played on my dad's computer. Maybe it was the first baby I ever had in-game? I don't think I knew they could multiply before. I remember I was so excited to get that little blue basket! Then, he grew up into the most annoying, needy, little leech I ever did see. I really wanted to get rid of him, but I never did figure out how. I must've had aging off because he never grew up. I was stuck with him forevermore.

In The Sims, I had a couple with a baby and at the time I was super young when I first played.
I was terrible also because it was so much multitasking in it (which at the time I was horrible at).
So my Sims couple would always be hungry and tired and worked! Which ended up with them losing their baby!!
It was heartbreaking :(.

Don't remember exactly. Created my simself as a cop who eventually had a relationship with a coworker and married. They either had one kid or none, and she died at her birthday party.

My first ever family died because someone tried to cook. But before I got my own sims game I played it first at a friends house. She let me play with one of her families. There was some action with the famous heart bed and after that the rest was history, I had to have the game :D
