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.
