What's Your Most Memorable Sim Moment?

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 😊.
  • @Cinebar I had a very stressful, yet funny moment in TS2 before. Back when I was in elementary school, my friend and I played one of my families who's mother was pregnant. Unfortunately because of her mood swings, whenever we were trying to help her boost her moodlets to get her functioning well, she would complain that she was hungry, sleepy, cramped, smelly, unsocial, etc. It was SO annoying, but also funny because during her meltdowns, she was completely naked ? . We tried countless of times to have her put some clothes on, but she wasn't having it. She clearly just wanted the pregnancy to be over with. ?

    After her child's birth, she went back to her normal self. It was indeed weird, but an interesting ride. Ugh, I just wish I captured those moments in screenshots.

    In TS1, the same childhood friend was with me playing another family I really liked, which was The Bob Family, I believe. And so, as we were playing for some reason I went into map view and was wanting to do something, but I let my friend choose another family to play with. As she was searching, I think she accidentally chose the bulldoze option and completely deleted The Bob's Family. As soon as it was pending, I started to freak out. Then once it set in as to what happened, I was immediately p'd. She knew this. She tried apologizing, but I wasn't here for it. I threw a fit, yelled at her and complained in disbelief, then I demanded that her youngest brother to break the CD simply because I thought that there was no way of getting it back. I thought he ended up breaking it or at least bending it to where it's unusable. I then ordered them both to leave, which they did. I don't think I spoke or even bothered to hangout with her for a while (I did, however, with her friends of the neighborhood). We eventually made up sometime not long after.

    In TS3, two of my given families have sim teens, which down the line have the been the best of friends. Fast forward to them being teenagers, you know how every week (?) there's prom? Well, they both managed to go there as just friends, but during that night, I believe they were dancing and all of a sudden one of my sims asked if she would like to go steady. At first I was against it, because I just wanted them to be friends and nothing more, but I figured since this was done autonomously, that what would the chances be for this to happen again? So, I agreed and they've been lovebirds ever since. Occasionally, I'll take screenshots of them as memorabilia and sometimes place an instill moment in the house.

    And in TS4, I was really curious on how sims got pregnant. I didn't even notice that she was showing signs of pregnancy. I really just thought that she gained weight, but to my surprise when she went to pee, I saw the option to "test pregnancy", which I was unaware of. As I saw her test the product, her expression switched from a dull face to extreme excitement. She was so happy to tell her husband and her daughter the good news that she couldn't possibly wait any longer. Three weeks later, she had a healthy baby girl named Crissy and her husband just couldn't get enough of her to the point where he was missing work hours.
  • Definitely completing a rainbowcy in Sims 3. I even journaled it and shared on various forums. It was a huge undertaking for me what with save corruptions. moving my sims all the time towards the end and just keeping it interesting. It's still out there too! It was so awesome and fun to do. I had some great people to share it with too. : D

    And also, I was active in the tumblr community some years ago. I made houses and wall art and stuff for sims 3. Shared stories and got to help a lot of people with game issues or find cc. It was amazing! I regret I wasn't able to keep doing it. I basically just ghosted my acct. D:
  • @KayeStar I miss the feeling about being completely naive when it came to playing a vanilla game. I mean, I still earn simoleons that way and I only keep a fair amount of cc and mods in my sims 4 folder. The process is fun in the long run, but the question is: What do I do with all of that money?
