I'm almost 50. I first played the Nintendo D's version with my daughter and when she got the sims 2 for PC I used to design houses for her and that's when I became hooked. I used to like to design houses on squared paper so it was amazing to seem in 3D and come to life.
I am in that yellow age bracket...my username can give you a clue as to how old I am. I will celebrate a birthday next month. Anyway, my sister-in-law introduced me to the original game in 2000...and I haven't looked back. Although...I did stop at TS3...I did try TS4...not my cup of tea.
Is there a support group for Simming Addiction? I think I need it...
I’m young, yes, but have been playing sims for a year now and absolutely love it!! I am addicted to sims and play 4-5 hours a week whereas most kids my age play fortnite non-stop
I'm 26. I've been playing since I was 11 when my childhood best friend first showed me the game disc of the Sims 1 in 2003, I fell in love instantly with the game. I still remember how much fun I had playing Makin' Magic and Hot Date with her after school, those 2 expansion packs still have a special place in my heart.
She moved on to other simulation games but I couldn't, I spent my pocket money to buy all the packs except Seasons (I couldn't find any copy in retail at the time) for the Sims 2, I remember the excitement I felt for every single pack that I bought on my own at 13, 14 y.o. after saving enough money to buy one.
I'm not surprised by the answers, given when Sims came out. I just turned 40 a week ago. I've been playing Sims since 2000, though I really started with SimCity in the early 90's.
I'm 27 and I think I had my sims 4 for only maybe I think a year or two..my sister played it first..and I use to scuff at her about it jokingly lol..now I stay on the hunt for playstore sales on packs!!
I'm 34... I started playing The Sims in 2001, but I've been playing SimCity long before then... I think I've played every iteration except for the Sims 3 & 4 console versions...
33! Almost 34...Played the first sims when it came out in 2001 and kept getting the expansion packs for birthdays. I played a little of Sim city on facebook when that was around. I haven't played current versions of the Sims, I'm wondering if they are just as fun as the old ones.
This is an interesting poll. I'm 27 and have been playing since TS1 came out (can't remember if I got it in 2000 or 2001...), but yeah I've pretty much been hooked since then. I'm still playing TS3 regularly.
Just turned 18 last month. This year I decided to play the Sims 4 after watching YouTube videos of people playing it, and I thought it would be fun (I was NEVER the gamer type before). I was not wrong! It's so addicting. Glad I purchased it 😊
I'm turning 28 this year and have been playing sims since the original! my favorite will always be ts3 but each generation has a special place in my heart.
Turning 32 this month I played the sims from 2004 to now. Sims 4 is my last sims game I care of. No TS5 for me and so on. (with how ea crushed down the saga I rather keep my oldies)
Let's put it this way, I was born in the Age of Aquarius. I remember my Dad's Amiga Compu Desktop computer & the first Civilization PC game.
I never heard about any of the Sims games until my Daughter noticed the Sims 3 Diesel Stuff PC game. Her & I never even new that in order to play it we needed the base game. You see kids, back in the day there used to be PC games that were on 3 1/2 Floppy Disks & no Internet.
Anyways, now that my Daughter is a beautiful grown young lady & I turned Middle - Ager, we both enjoy playing Sims 3 & Sims 4.
PS: I now have & play Civilization VI on my own HP Windows 10 Desktop computer. I think once a player, always a player.
Not to say I'm old, but I remember Harry Truman. Just a nipper at the time, but I remember. Found out about the Sims due to an economics research paper for college. For reasons unknown/unremembered EA was the subject and learned about the as yet unpublished game in the course of research. Thought it interesting so kept on following it in the gaming press. Got it on launch day and not looked back since. TS2 is still my favorite, also gotten on day 1, by far. Took my time with 3 and play now and then when the mood hits. Got 4 early on, though not launch day, hoping it would be TS2 with the best of 1 & 3 added to it. Was sorely disappointed on that one, but still play it when I'm tired and want something simple.
