I can’t remember the exact date that I began playing The SIMS, but I am pretty sure it was during a winter storm in 2001-2002. My husband and I loved Making Magic. SIMS 2 blew my mind – I actually started buying the games and expansion packs long before I had a computer to run them. I kept playing it until my best friend convinced me to try out SIMS 4, around June 2022.
I have the complete SIMS 3, and the open world was interesting, but it never really drew me away from SIMS 2.
The first character I played in SIMS 4 was in Forgotten Hollow, and I actually had a great time. Also, Werewolves and High School Years came out shortly thereafter. It was a great time to be introduced to the new SIMS game. I was pretty hooked. I have barely opened my SIMS 2 since, and I was a diehard SIMS 2 player for over 15 years.

Discovering the Other Love of my Life
My wedding anniversary was this week, and I have been married to my best friend for 22 years now. The other thing that I have been doing for almost 20 years (December) is playing The Sims.
At the time, there was one base game, and one expansion pack out. Christmas in Arkansas was marked by a massive ice storm. Power was out across the state because the trees could not handle the weight of the ice, and would topple down, taking power poles with them. We went to stay with friends who had power, I picked up the game from Wal-Mart to help occupy my time.
