I play TS3 more often than anything else, but the other game I have a lot of experience with is The Sims 1...
Is there anyone else here that still plays it? What is your favorite EP?
My favorite EP is probably Hot Date or Unleashed, however I don't have Superstar or Makin' Magic :mrgreen:

Now up to baby number 64!
I wish I had Sims 1. I heard there's the Sims Complete Collection, but not sure how to get a copy. I'd love to play. Haven't played in over 10 years
I have never played sims 1 but have just bought the complete collection and I was surprised to see its still being sold on amazon brand new.
I started with 3, recently got sims 2 UC and loved it and then decided I really need to experience all the sims series from 1 just so I can say I have done that lol
I just hope it all works when it arrives
I also remember getting Superstar as a gift and having so much fun playing it the morning I installed it and didn't go to school because I was sick. Makin' Magic was also a great experience, it was something very unique that they added to the game and it felt like a completely different game. I remember being excited for The Sims 2 because we knew Makin' Magic was the last EP.
I actually have the complete collection installed and I play it from time to time just for the nostalgia, but I've been playing TS2 and TS4 more often lately.
I really want to revisit it, as I recently got Superstrar, but it just doesn't want to work on my computer.
My favourite memory is of my mum playing our family and killing my dad in a fire and getting me and my younger sister sent to military school. She accused the game of making her feel like a bad mother and never picked it up again, that's when I started to play.
If it's on amazon I might look into buying it. If anyone is currently playing I'd love for you to share your pictures.
The only thing I have to work out is how stop my sims looking like they have jagged edges around them which looks a little weird but the rest of the graphics elsewhere is okay but the pics I have tried to take look really small and silly other than that I was amazed visiting downtown to find lots of places to go that don't simply look like an afterthought slung onto a map lol so coming from 3 then to 2 and working backwards to 1, 2 is my favorite at them moment but 1 really does shine for the time frame it was actually made and released....
@xooemily
I bought it from the same reason just to try and be able to say I played the first series but I will continue playing it now I have actually got it installed so I would grab it while you still can before it becomes totally extinct or so rare its priced out of the market lol
My favourite was Makin Magic and On Holiday.
It's hard to pick a favourite. Hot Date added so much at it's time of release, because I believe it was the first time we had community lots to visit! Restaurants were a favourite feature, but I loved building shops as well. Makin' Magic was brilliant, and I loved combining it with items from Unleashed, which had some great worn-looking assets. I liked collecting all the interesting ingredients in MM, and crafting spells and crystals. I particularly liked the old-fashioned features like the spinning wheel, baking with ingredients like flour, the nectar making, and the butter churn.
Superstar was definitely a favourite! I'd really like a similar theme for TS4 with active fashion, film and singer careers. The only issue I had with it was that your performance was based on chance, especially at higher levels. I'm a bit of a controlling player, so I prefer a more predictable outcome based on skill and effort.
I loved the vacation expansion, I liked that it gave us three new destination types to explore: snowy, outdoorsy, and beach. We have Outdoor Retreat for TS4 and I'd really like to see a ski resort and a tropical island at some point.
My least favourite was Livin' Large, it had some nice features, but it was a bit too OTT and I didn't tend to use the features that much.
haha. i made this couple and they had a huge house {wasn't very good at building at the time} but there was a long hallway upstairs & the husband died & then the grim reaper started going down the hallway & i was like what the asdfghjkl; is that haha. scared me. but ive been playing the sims since 2004. i actually really want to play the sims superstar right now, one of my favorites!

I can't remember which expansion packs TS1 had, but I remember there was one where you could go on summer vacation and meet a shark by a pool. That was my favourite.
I actually tried TS1 again last year, because I found all the old CDs in the basement. It was fun, but not entertaining enough to do it for a long time after trying TS2 and TS4.
For The original Sims I did enjoy Hot Date quite a bit, and I had a lot of fun with Superstar which has become ironic since I wasn't very excited for Showtime on Sims 3. But the original Sims is where it all started for me and its what got me hooked. So many fun memories of that game that stuck with me
