The Sims!

[Lessy]

Just wondering how many of you play the sims and which one? Which do you prefer and when did you start playing? I play the Sims 2 but I will occasionally play the first one just because I love it so much! I also have the Sims 3 but I personally don't like it and it runs very slow on my computer.

I started playing the Sims when I was 7. My cousin introduced me to the game and I've been hooked ever since then! My favourite thing to do on the game is make pretty sims and design houses! I love interior decorating heehee

Also I have a tumblr dedicated to the sims if you wanna check it out!

Post away

I love the Sims! I plan on playing plenty of it during the midterm. :33 Sims 3 is my personal favourite, but I haven't played enough of 2 have any real opinions of it.

Sims 2 is my favorite. I have almost every expansion pack. The original Sims is boring in my opinion (it was good until Sims 2 came out)
Sims 3 is okay but it always crashs on my computer and I don't like the fact that their lives go on even when your not playing as them.

I do have to agree that the original got a bit boring at times but one of the reasons I liked it was because of the stuff you could do like become a superstar and cast spells. Magictown was my fav<3 I know that the Sims 3 came out with expansion packs where you could do that kind of stuff but you can't beat the original in my opinion

And as far as expansion packs go, I only have Nightlife, Bon Voyage, Seasons, and Apartment Life. And for stuff packs I have the Holiday one, Kitchen & Bath, Ikea, and Family Fun Stuff.

I wish I had them all!

I only like the Sims 1, Sims 2 and Sims 3 play too slow for me.

I like sims 3, 'nuff said.

 

[Sora]

I like Sims 3 the best because now that I've played it with all expansions, I could never go back.

i have only played the first lol

Still haven't gotten seasons for The Sims 3. I own all of the other games and expansions in the series though.

I even played the Sims Online until the servers shut down. =p

Sims 3. It has so much more features and customization. I had the most fun with Sims 1 on Xbox. But Sims 3 still offers a lot more.

 

[Gummy]

I'm alone on this, but sometimes I think too much customization is a bad thing. I've played the Sims 3, and a lot of the time, I get so involved with the designing of families and houses that by the time I've finished, I'm bored of the game.

I feel exactly the same way! The Sims 3 is nice on paper, but in practice it's way too overwhelming to really be enjoyable.

I'm not crazy about the series as a whole. I used to be, but I've gotten pretty sick of it. My judgment might be blurred, however, by my intense hatred of EA as a company.

I've played every generation of Sims over my life. Always been a huge fan. Personally I like the Sims 2 the best in regards to character movement animations, genetics being passed on, and the ability to control more than one family at a time whenever you wish. The genetics in 3 are a little weird (your sim passes on whatever hair color they have at the time, or you get that nasty dark greenish random hair. I really dislike that). The animations feel watered down a lot. Some are even broken. I've seen Sims' knees bend the wrong way sooooo many times. It also feels like there's 50% less in game content compared to store content. |: That and forum community is hard to tolerate and I haven't bothered getting an origin account in order to continue getting free gift items or talking on the forums (that's another problem... why do I have to suddenly get an account with origin in order to do stuff I could do before? Like LOG INTO THE SITE?)

I haven't bought a sims game since Generations... but I'm thinking about getting more expansion packs. I might not like some aspects of the games but the newer expansions seem really cool and fun!

I played Sims 1, 2 and now 3. I only had a few packs of 1, but I have 2 completely and 3 too. Everytime a new expension pack is released for 3 I buy it like the same month. I also just bought a new computer and installed Sims 3 fully and it is SUPER FAST! So that's really great. I don't play 1 and 2 anymore now, as I'm just loving 3 now. But maybe I'd do 2 again someday..

I would probably enjoy Sims 3, but my laptop can't run it.

I know that feel. The sis 3 was a graduation present to me. My computer couldn't run it. It took a complete computer crash and my grandparents buying a new one for me to be able to play!

 

[BellGreen]

I have the Sims 3 and I'm getting Uni. Life when it comes out. I got kind of bored with it. I just don't know why.
But I may be getting Sim City since its pretty cool now.

 

[Dustbunnii]

I didn't play the first one a whole lot.... when I did, I didn't really understand it.
I played Sims 2 and got a couple of expansions
I actually started playing Sims 3 again recently. I have World Adventures, Ambitions, and Pets.... I'd like to get Generations and Seasons at some point, but they're aren't a top priority on my list of games to buy so idk if I'll ever actually get them. I also don't really like EA all that much...
I really like the amount of customization in Sims 3 though, and I can easily spend hours making a house. It's quite fun.
It's going to absorb a lot of my time again up until I get bored of it... heh.
I need to do homework .___.

Basically grew up on the sims 2 so even tho sims 3 is better is still like sims 2

I've never played Sims 1, but Sims 2 is by far my favorite. For each town, there's a story, and you get to experience all of it. In Sims 3, you only get to play one family at a time, and it gets boring quickly. Also, the expansion packs for 2 are better. I have Sims 3 and many expansion packs, but I get bored of them within a week. I've played Sims 2 for ages and I think I'm going to buy the rest of the expansion packs for 2 at some point. I'm tired of 3.
