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

My really first sims games were The Sims 2 and The Sims 2 Pets for DSi. On 2013, when I got my IPad, I played with The Sims Freeplay and The Sims Medieval, and during that period I heard about the Sims 4 and on 2014 I asked it for Christmas to my parents; the first time I played it was on January 2015.
