The Sims 4 General DiscussionI began playing with The Sims Bustin' Out and The Urbz on GameCube.
edited to add when/where I heard of the game - why is it now in a quote box?
Anyway, I played before 2 came out, but I did not start 2 until a little into it's life cycle from what I remember. I did not really have any control over when I got games back then.
The short of it is that Sims 1 was one of my first games and I have been with the series since the absolute beginning.

But when I got a new computer in 2006, I installed Sims 2 and a couple of expansions on it. That neighborhood would occupy my hard drive all the way until I replaced the old machine with a new one in the fall of 2010. I put easily a thousand and possibly 2,000 hours into it over those four years.
And remember this above all. Our Roman gods are watching. Make sure they are not ashamed!

Have some "fun" stories on that.
Played Sim City before that.
Stopped playing during Sims 2 (due to being on a Mac for work related stuff) and didn't get Sims 3 until after I had bought Sims 4 (due to not owning a PC for over a decade).
Tried playing one of the Sims games on console and didn't care for it due to the controls. Suffered through at least one Sims knockoff on console that I otherwise enjoyed besides the controls on it.
(I'm been redoing my gallery stuff so bear with me. FYI: I never use CC on my gallery builds. I rarely use MOO.) I am usually more pleased with my room builds than my lot builds.

Twenty Thirteen.
Before that I was either party-ing or playing the occasional quest or FPS game with a group of other geeks after college or after work.
I began playing a sims mobile version first. Two, actually. One was Medieval.
Due to my line of work the only thing that sparked my interest was character creation in (simulation) games. I learned that a PC version called The Sims 3 was also available, which I believed to be -for reasons I won't share today- an adult version of the mobile game...So a guy is interested and gets a starter bundle on sale.
The pc version proved to be something entirely different to what I had in mind and I soon realized that this was the most overwhelming game I ever played. Then again, I haven't played a huge amount of computer games. I su.ck. I really do.
I remember creating a sim who looked a bit like me and moved him into an apartment. He met a girl at a bar, got her to move in with him on the first night (as you would) make them do woohoo for their first time ( and my first time in a sims game) and BINGO!..baby in the house.
So that's where things got tricky. In the Sims 3 babies are like these little cocoon things that can be thrown just about anywhere in the world. This baby was everywhere in that tiny apartment except for where I wanted it to be: GONE.
Meanwhile appliances began to malfunction, the relationship between my sim and his girl went south as they were starving and completely broke. However, it was The Incessantly Crying Cocoon that eventually caused me to reach my breaking point. I didn't get The Sims. It was too hard. I hated it.
At that point in the game (all this was one long, confusing session) I switched it off and didn't look back for months. What a terrible and stupid game. It wasn't for me.
Then one fine day I thought about that guy and that girl and the little pink cocoon baby. And I was wondering how they were getting on. I wondered if they were like those Tamagotchi pets kids got back in the day and if they were dead? And if not dead, was there a way to get my guy to live alone again? I was only a beginner simmer after all. I got curious, so I switched it back on.
They weren't dead. I was kinda glad about that. And thanks to the magic of the Intranet I also found a way to move the girl and the cocoon out of my guy's apartment.
You're better off with your mommy little one. Goodbye.
That's when I eased into The Sims and I must say I'm still enjoying this darn franchise.
Because I can't; I keep all sigs turned off.
