Did you know that in TS1 Drew Carey would show up at your party?
Drew Carey did a number of parodies of The Sims
Did you know that in TS1 (House Party or later) a mime would always show up at bad parties, characters with weird hair would show up at average parties, and Drew Carey would show up only if all the Sims at the party were having a good time?
I have been playing The Sims since 2001, when Livin Large came out. My avatar deliberately looks like Chris Roomies from TS1.
@Scobre I have to admit that Smosh video made me ROFL.
Yay my goal of making someone laugh is complete for the day. I was trying to lighten the thread a bit with humor. I was so nervous posting it and had to put the disclaimer on it just in case for younger Simmers. It's just so funny how honest it is and I loved how all the Sims games were included in the video. But I admit someone else has posted the video in forums before I did.
Fun fact: Sims 2 Pets had Hilary Duff and her dog.
I remember the ugly Hilary Duff sim the Sims team uploaded as a promotional thing. If you take off her face makeup, her actual facial structure resembles that of a dried up witch.

I'm sorry I missed sims 1, I was a poor uni student with no computer! I loved how in sims 2, the sims would communicate their feeling about an interaction. Me do you really want me to flirt with her? Really? Really ?
Fun Fact: Sims 3 had worlds; Sims 4 is a big world and EPs/gamepacks add destinations with neighborhoods to the existing neighborhoods from the basegame, which makes the game even more realistic and cuts out having to build the same old buildings and adding them all the time when new content comes. Definitely a step in the right direction.
Fun fact: 15 years ago, I was a tester on a funny little game called The Sims.
Hey, so was I. I had my 15th year anniversary of playing The Sims back in early November as I was a tester for it in early November of 1999.
Back in those days EA rewarded us testers with an early release of the finished game as a free copy several days before the game actually came out. I remember I was afraid to open the game and play it because of the agreement I signed saying I could not talk about the game or show it to anyone - so it sat for days on my desk making me crazy waiting for the release day. Some how I imagined if I started playing the game early - someone from EA would come and take me away to jail or something.

Possible fun fact: I may be mistaken, but I seem to remember that in Sims 2 if you played an instrument or radio in the same room as a baby, when they aged up they had a little boost to their creativity skill? Or maybe it was the original Sims? I hope I'm not just making this up!
Fun fact: The Sims Livin' Large was the first EP to introduce additional careers. The Sims 2 Open for business, Sims could craft toys for children and toddlers, run your own business from home or a community lot, have robots called Servos, and have elevators. The Sims 3 Ambitions included five careers that you could actually interact with your Sims at work and drive around in vehicles related to those jobs. The Sims 4 Get to Work will be the first EP in nine years not to include extended content for the toddler life stage and the life stage itself.

love the Sims games I have The Sims on play station 2 2002 and now I all OF Sims 3 and have Sims 4 but I did not get Sims 2 EA. I wish they bring it back out so I buy it
Fun Fact: My poor hubby got his dinner late many nights because I couldn't drag myself away from my Sims. Ok so he doesn't think it was all that fun but I sure enjoyed myself.
Thank you EA and thank you Maxis..we got our babies back, Yay!

Yeppers!
I got Medieval and it's expansion as a bundle for $9.99, today. Made me very happy!
I did think about getting that one too but with my hubby still healing from a broken hip and still out of work I opted to just get the gp for Sims 4 and then after we paid our bills for the month was able to get the delux addition stuff for Sims 4. So maybe next time there is a medieval sale. I have everything there is for Sims 3 and Sims 2 - so figured I needed to catch the present game up to date.

In the first Sims game you could catch a cold from your guinea pig.
