Just curious to see what attracted my fellow simmers to the game. I started playing on the pc before the ps4 version came out. I didn't know the game existed until my friend told me about it. She gave me all her base game cd and all her expansions. I thought I'd give it a try. Best decision ever.

Then thats how i follow the series
I had almost every EP for TS1, and when TS2 came out... I can't even explain to you my level of excitement lol. Had every EP and *almost* every SP for that one. TS3 was a bit harder and my friend and I shared each others codes to complete our collections, along with ripping content from torrent websites because we couldn't afford all the DLC. And now we're here with TS4 and I have everything released for it thus far
Still love it, even after 7 years. :’)
That was it until like 2013 when someone I was following on tumblr who was posting the adventures of her Sailormoon sims in the Sims 3. It was such a riot that I got a bundle of the Base Game and Showtime on Steam and just never looked back since. I switched over to Sims 4 after it had been out for a little while after I just couldn't handle my Sims 3 game freezing on me all the time. I still play Sims 3 from time to time and hope to play it more when I get a computer that can actually handle playing it.
I've since pieced together a used copy version of Sims 2 (all of the EPs and most of the Stuff packs) and play that one too.
I've attempted to play the Sims 1 again after I found the BG and a few of the EPs (Including Making Magic) at HalfPrice Books but I can't get it to run on my current computer. Holding onto it in hopes that when I get my new computer I might finagle it into working.
I've been a Sims addict since.
These commercials...

I still remember being 12 years old, seeing these on TV, and deciding that I needed that game now.
Life intervened and I missed sims 3. Time went on and then I was ill in hospital then recovery took months and I found sims 4 as an escape and a way to reconnect to life and also those memories of earlier summing.
It was a short live action commercial and featured this couple shown in their house looking very conservative, then boom their front door opens and in walks this women dressed in all leather who cracks a whip against her hand. Then a voice over at the end said something like "Sims 2 - get wild" or maybe it was "Sims 2 live a little!"
It was very memorable lol.
Now for any teenage boy who sees a commercial - for a game that promises to get wild - thats like an instana buy!
And the first thing I did when I played it? Made myself and woohoo'd every hot sim girl I met, when I ran out I downloaded all the disney princesses and woohoo'd them. Then the girls from Final Fantasy lol..
Hey I was a teenage boy and all.
Which might explain my first custom content too, self made I might add. It was a tshirt that read ...well lets just say my sim handed them out after woohooing his partners lol.
Which brings me to this real life girl I had super crush on in one of my classes and she played the Sims 2 as well. When she came over with our friends once, she wanted to see how I played. I didn't exactly show her that, BUT she quickly noted all the girls walking around wearing t-shirts with my name on them that basically said it all.
The good news is she just laughed and said we definitely don't have the same play styles...the bad news was all my friends there saw it too. I was teased for a while at school, everybody wanted to know where to get the "tshirt"....
Ah memories...
Honestly? Sim City. I loved playing that and when The Sims came out, one of the angles for advertising was to control the sims that live in our city. I loved that idea. Then I fell in love with building! Well maybe not so much until Sims 3 but it's the best thing in Sims 4, that's for sure.
I also loved, loved, loved the subtle connections between SimCity 300 and The Sims -- for instance, not only mentions of the Landgraab family, but the fact that the stuff in buy mode was produced by industries in SimCity 3000, like Shiny Things Inc.

I played Sims 2 just before Sims 4 came out and I loved it and I could see why people loved it so much.
Lets make this a reality!
