So Any 15 Year Simmers Here?

bflurybflury Posts: 2,603 Member
So... I saw a few posts this evening where individuals were addressing Grant as being a 14 year simmer.

I actually would consider myself a 15-year simmer. Maybe even longer. I knew about The Sims back when it was just a pet project of Will's.

I'm curious, anyone else hanging around here in the same boat? And if not, when did you start?
And just to make it interesting: in all of those years, what was your favorite expansion? Mine was actually Island Paradise, I love island living!

ETA: For clarification if you knew about this game when it was actually called the "Doll House Project" (btw, best idea ever - changing the name) you've been a simmer longer than 14 years :)

    I guess if you count the time I spent playing SimCity 2000, it's been 15 years.

    My favorite expansion so far has been Supernatural. I also loved the original Makin' Magic (I guess there's a pattern there. :smile: )

    @bflury, Yep, I know as a fact that there are quite a few of us who have been following the Sims for that long. I call myself a 14 year simmer though, because following it is not the same as playing it. And only beta testers of TS1 would have been playing it longer than 14 years. ;)

    If you count all of the other Sim XXX games, I've been a "Simmer" for much more than 14 years. I bought every single game Maxis ever made since 1989 and the original Sim City.

    As far as what my favorite expansion was, that's a tough one to decide, but probably either Hot Date or Open For Business. They are the two I reminisce about most fondly so probably would qualify as my favorites.
    This post will be edited by StormKeep at some point.

    When Makin' Magic came out, it was Christmas when I got the expansion pack, hands down one of the best presents ever!

    I only call myself a simmer for how long I've played it, 14 years which is actually starting to sound a bit sad lol

    it's been 14 years for me and my favorite expansion is Makin Magic for the sims 1.

    I knew about the game in 2002. I kind of put it off for a bit and then I saw the adverts for Makin Magic - and when I went to Walmart to buy it, my mom told me about having to get the base game to play. I was bummed so I kind of procrastinated again. When I remembered I wanted the game, MM was sold out so I bought Super Star and then MM at a later date in 2004. That's when I saw the preview disc for TS2. By the next summer after I started with TS1, TS2 was out and I was playing that over my friend's house. It was the coolest experience ever, transitioning from Ts1 to TS2. So many huge changes.

    Also, just 2 months ago I went to a vintage/pawn gaming shop with my boyf. Got the entire Sims 1 series for 10 bucks and play it on my lower-end laptop. MM is still my favorite to this day :D

    I've been around since the release of Sims 1. My husband bought it for me as a gift. I hadn't heard of it. My first sim starved to death because I hate reading directions and he wouldn't feed himself. :'(:p
    I think my favorite expansion was Bon Voyage. Ah - Apartment Life. No. Seasons. It is so hard to choose. They were in TS2. I never connected to my sims the way that I did in TS2. I loved Bon Voyage so much. My sims went on a lot of vacations and honeymoons. Grandparents took their grandkids camping and my original couple bought a house in China. Oh, I love it so much. I was delighted when Seasons came out. I just ermember listening to the rain and thunder. It was amazing. And Apartment Life was great. It made the game feel so real. Much easier to play as a no cheat and create a nice life. :)
    I love this game.

    I have been playing the sims for 14 years. I bought the sims 1 in 2000 for a birthday gift. I was hooked. I had all the games and EP's until the sims 4 came out. I can't see myself buying this game any time soon. It cost way too much for what's in the game. If they had expanded the game from the sims 3 I would have gladly paid that much. But I don't think the sims 4 is worth it.

    Hmm...I've played every sims game in existence, including SimAnt and SimIsle. Plus the SimCities and countless others that I spent a lot of money on over the course of my life. LOL. I'm not proud...seriously...
