What year did you start playing your first The Sims game?

Probably early 2007. I was 9 and started with Sims 1. I had all the expansion packs except Makin Magic. Sims Vacation was my favourite. I really liked the snow world and had my Sims live there. In 2009 I got Sims 2 and gradually got all the expansions except Bon Voyage and FreeTime. Near the end of 2011 I got Sims 3 and then got Pets in 2012. I had a lot of fun with that, but the lags and crashing was too much for me to handle so I stopped playing early 2013. If it worked properly I probably would have gotten Generations and Showtime. Those packs sound like they would have been fun. Mid 2014 I heard about Sims 4 and got it a couple of months after release and really enjoyed it. I didn't get to play it much between mid 2015 to mid 2019 as I was too busy with school and study. I got back into it mid 2019 after I graduated and have been playing it since. I have 5 expansion packs (Get Together, Seasons, Island Living, Discover University, and Snowy Escape) and 1 game pack (Parenthood). Out of the 4 games Sims 4 is my favourite.
