Lately ever since EA announced the 20-year anniversary of The Sims, I've been feeling pretty nostalgic about the hundreds, if not, thousands of Sims I've created and installed throughout the exchange, the amount of lots that I've built, the stories (even though they weren't good) that I've read and created, and the community that I've become more engaged with all throughout my childhood. I've thourougly appreciated it!I'm interested in knowing what your fondest memory in The Sims franchise was. How did you react? Was it good, bad, or middling?Share your thoughts! And if you have screenshots, please share 😊.

Reading all the albums people used to post on the Exchange for The Sims and The Sims 2. There were so many great stories. I really miss those days.

It doesn't sound like a "sweet" moment, but in the sims 3, I had one of my sims get hit by a meteor literally MINUTES after initially moving the family in-- A young couple hit by tragedy! I brought her back as a ghost, and her partner became a ghost hunter. It ended up being one of my favorite save files, and one of my favorite stories I'd ever played.

@Sindocat That is a miracle, if I ever heard one. I'd think that everyone's essential needs would go dramastically down, especially hunger (or maybe I'm thinking of Sims 2) when there's a goal event."TWSimGamer82;c-17455157" wrote:Reading all the albums people used to post on the Exchange for The Sims and The Sims 2.

Asking me to dig deep here! Oh, gosh. Let me think.I think my proudest moment was when I made one million simoleons with no cheats. Just working with multiple careers and skill jobs. This was Sims 3. I still haven't topped that, so I guess I'd call that my most cherished moment.

One of my worst moments in TS2 was when I played Dina Caliente and Don Lothario. They were married and had a toddler son. It was late one night, I was tired, they both went off to work. I forgot to hire a babysitter. The child was taken away. The parents came back from work, both tired and hungry and heartbroken. Dina died because she was too tired to eat, and too hungry to do most anything else. Don pleaded with Grimmy and managed to save her. She died again, and surprisingly Grimmy was in a good mood and saved her again.Anyway, I managed to adopt the child to my main family. He grew up, went to college and generally did good for himself. When he came back from college, I had him meet up with Dina. It was a very heartwarming meeting. Think I even had her son move in with her, can't remember exactly.That's one situation where "exit without saving" would have been useful, if I had only had the presence of mind to remember it at the time, instead of going full panic.

What's Your Most Memorable Sim Moment?

Discovering all the premades in The Sims 2 had memories as a kid and diving down the rabbit hole of finding out who was related to who and why. This is what made me fall in love with The Sims, Strangetown, and in particular the Curious family. And I was overjoyed when I found out Notzo Curious was added in The Sims 3 Ambitions and recreated the family lineage up to Glarn getting abducted.

I guess, the first time I went from the creation of a sim, to his death of old age in TS2. Married to Dina Caliente, 4 kids, both 'platinum 4 life', and lots of memories inbetween. She departed first, and I was like 'see you soon'. The final day your sim wakes up, that's that kind of moment for me.

When my Sim (TS2) had to give up all their puppies, been there done that irl. Sad. A police car pulled up in TS2 to take them away (gave up for adoption) my Sim ran out to the curb, stood by the car and cried her eyes out. I can relate.

When my Sims lost their kids to the social worker, they cried for days. (TS2) Luckily TS2 let's another Sim adopt them in the list, a few days later, the previous mom was knocking on the door to visit the new home. She came over often though they were no longer a family member in her own household.

When my perfect couple (TS2) got a divorce, not so perfect after all. On her first date when she was just about to kiss her new beau for the first time, out on the front porch, her ex walked by and stood to watch, at 2:00 A.M. (walk bys don't happen that late) but guess time didn't matter in the game that time.

When my teen went off to college and dad went with her, crying and hugging in front of the dorm building..she was ready to let go, he was not. lol

When my Sim kids cried because mom had cheated on their father. (TS2) One crushed the doll house.

When my Sim kid passed out on the front lawn (no beds) and mom and dad stood over him wringing their hands with worry over their child. (TS2

Too many to list from TS2.

When my Sim in TS3 fainted because she saw ghost or a vampire etc. Her brave husband went to her rescue to help her.

When back in TS1 the husband lost his wife to fire the very next morning, lol, and he wouldn't go to work or do anything for days. Wouldn't eat, wouldn't sleep, wouldn't go do anything (paint or skill on fun objects or whatever) to cheer himself up. Priceless.
