I miss manuals, especially the ones that had a bit of meat to them. I would read them in bed once I'd managed to tear myself away from whatever new game I'd bought.
Ahhhh. that deep nostalgia. I miss those manuals!
and the game manuals you could buy separate.
It's been an amazing 18 years!

I miss those manuals too, for any game, really. Never needed them, but I enjoyed flipping through when I wasn't playing, excellent bedside reading. :D
Thank you for continuing to bring us content all these years, even though you and I haven't always agreed. May the future be bright, productive, and profitable. (And may it contain a Fear emotion for my Sims! )
I started when The Sims Vacation was the latest EP. It ended up being one of my favorite EPs in that generation.

On a side note, this thread made me realize The Sims is the same age as my car. I REALLY need a new car.
Saying "not to be rude", then blatently being rude does not excuse rude behavior.

Fast forward to now, and my granddaughter and I play TS4. She's 6, so we play a mild version without the Teen rated elements, and I control the game with her input. But she loves animals, so she has a family now where the mom is a Vet. She's been saying for the past couple years that she wants to be a Vet when she grows up, so it is quite fun for her to see how it goes in the game.
Anyhow, Happy Anniversary, Maxis, for SimCity, and The Sims!!
