I started playing The Sims 1 in about 2008, I didn't have a clue what I was doing and I didn't know there was a second. When I got The Sims 3, and had a lot more common sense and some intelligence, I managed to teach myself how to play and I've been obsessed ever since.
I kind of played a lot of them, not necessarily at the time that they were released. I kind of played TS1, TS2 and TS3 in phases almost simultaneously or gradually. I'd have one version on one computer and another on a different one but I gradually shifted over to the newer versions. I also took some breaks including a few times in the TS3 era and then before TS4. I took another recent break.
I also played SimFarm, SimCity and SimTower but I don't remember exactly when that was. I liked SimCity Societies.
If I wanted to play something then I did regardless of when it came out.
I played The Sims 2 for the first time at a friends house shortly after it came out and fell in love but I didn't have a decent enough pc to play it at home, then I bought The Sims 2 for my Playstation 2 when it was released and have been hooked ever since! I remember being incredibly frustrated at not being able to build a second floor to my house on the PS2. Also bought all the PS2 expansions and of course Cast Away which I hated lol. Of course by the time Sims 3 came out I had a good PC and loved it! :D Sims 4 is my favorite of them all though! :'D
I got Sims 1 back in the day when it first came out but my computer back then couldn’t play it unfortunately.
I didn’t start playing Sims 3 late in the game (2013) but fell in love with it. It didn’t love me quite as much so in a drive to play more sims games I got Sims 4 in 2015. I love it a lot too. I’ve also put together all the EPs for Sims 2 and it’s definitely my fave of the series. I now have computer that can run Sims 3 so I rotate between all three of them. I also love Sims Medieval.
Still haven’t played Sims 1 I can’t get the discs to run on my computer but I hope someday I might be able to.
Sims 1 came out when I was 9 and that was the first game my sisters and I ever got super into (we first played it at a cousins house). I remember every birthday and christmas we'd coordinate our "wish lists" to make sure they included a new expansion on every one, wether we'd get 'em or not was a different matter, lol. We had Simscity but it was very uninteresting for me as an elementary school kid, lol.
The Sims 2 in 2006. I had heard of the game and read some articles about it, that it was a life simulator, a dollhouse for adults, and that it now was 3D. I got curious and bought the game and I remember staying up all night playing because it was so fun! I bought all the EP's and SP's. I bought Sims 3 when it was released, and played both games for a while until I got a new computer and only installed Sims 3 on it.
The Sims 1 is what I have played first. I used to stay at home all day long as I have been addicted to this game. My mom used to scold me since all I do is play The Sims.

@SiggDiggit I get that. I was 10 when SimCity came out. I would build my city from the ground up, get it the way I wanted it (I guess I've always been a builder...) then rather than actually play with it, I just turned all the disasters on and watched it burn. lol.
I remember seeing one of my friends playing MySims on the Wii when I was little. I liked it (and Wii Sports) so much that I decided to get the Wii and MySims myself. It was my childhood! I had quite a few games from that series. Sometime later, after somehow stumbling upon machinimas (especially one with vampires) and playthroughs for The Sims 2 on Youtube, I decided to get that as well (along with a few expansion packs).
I'm surprised how many started from part 1 here. My memory Is bad plus I was young so I actually started from sims 2 but only remember bits and pieces. But that's where the addiction started though I don't think I was able to play much. When I got older I brought sims 3 on a laptop my uncle got but could barely play due to lag and crashing so I never really got to experience the beauty of it.
Then when I got old enough to buy my own things I purchased an amazing gaming laptop and desktop and have been playing the sims 4 on and off since it came out.
Though I downloaded all of the mods I need to play sims 3 because I want to go back and experience the beauty of it. I have it ready on my laptop but haven't had a chance to get to it because trying to play two at once is not as easy as I thought it would be. Once you invest yourself in a household and world it's hard to move on to another one.
Good old days with PS2 in 2008 I guess. I was around 7-8 years old. The world was magical for me. I remember playing TS2 also & a friend told me TS3 existed I freaked out.
I used to make my Sims have lots of kids, then send them off to military school to never be seen again. Lol. I don't know why I found that so amusing... I was 21.

I played Sims 3, but didn't like the graphics or the game in general so I stopped. Purchased Sims 4 and have loved it ever since.

I don't have anything that can play it anymore. I can imagine though!
