Easy! The Sims 1. The paper box with the tiled design on it, that I got at a time when PCs were the dominant force and stores didn't really even have a Mac game section any more. Go figure. Now I'm PC and Macs have had a bit of a resurgence. and both are more on an even playing-field.
It just drew me because you could go in there and do whatever you wanted with it. Endless possibilities!
May have been the sims 2. Didn't last long though as for some reason my mouse cursor got stuck. Started leaving copies of itself behind, overlapped. And no I didn't have it set to leave a tail.
The Sims. It had about fifteen discs needed to install it, and one to play it. I lost one of the discs, and then when I changed computers, I couldn't re-install it I played mostly with Michael Bachelor, and had him marry... Mortimer Goth? I believe? Michael Bachelor was his friend at first, and all of a sudden a romance option popped up, and I was happy and surprised that the game 'allowed' that (it was the year 2000 or 2001... a lot of that stuff was still not mainstream at all yet, but Queer as Folk was my favourite TV show).
I believe I skipped The Sims 2, and went straight to 3, with the World Adventures pack. I also lost the disc to that when I moved to America, but I contacted EA and proved I owned it (I had registered it on here or the EA forum I believe) and they gave me the codes. My computer always struggled to play it, and I couldn't really build, because entering the 'create a style' mode took about 4 mins to load each set of swatches.
Then in 2014, I got The Sims 4, and have never looked back.
The Sims 2 in 2006. I bought the base game and University. I played the base game only for a while and then got too scared to installed Uni because I had read that installing EP's could mess up your saves. But months later I finally installed Uni, and it worked, so I started buying more EP's. ^^

My first Sims game was The Sims. My mother gave me the disc which had come with her Gateway computer. She didn’t know what she was starting. It wasn’t unheard of for me to play for several hours at a stretch. My first sim was a character based on Todd Rundgren. I gave him the hipster head and Mortimer’s suit. I later gave him the head with the long blonde hair and painted it black. I still keep the 2001 Gateway around just for the purpose of playing Sims 1. I also keep a Mac Classic around because it’s my Tetris machine.
Technically, given The Sims grew out of Sim City, my first Sims game was the original Sim City, on the ZX Spectrum, back in 1990. I played the first The Sims in 2000. I haven't played 3 or 4 at all.
sims 2 was my first game and TBH I still love it more than any of the other Sims game. That being said however I sadly don't have all of my sims 2 CC so I don't play it much anymore. Sims 4 has been pretty fun I just for the life of me couldn't get into Sims 3 due to how awkward the sims looked.
