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

My first Sims game was The Sims Bustin' Out on the PS2! I played that game for years! I tried playing Sims 2 on console, when it came out, but it lacked all of the charm of BO, so I switched back. Didn't touch any other sims game until Sims 3 on PC around 2018.
