How did you get started with Sims 2?

[Scarletfairy]

My friends had told me about The Sims 2 when I was around 16 or 17. I thought it looked cool but I wasn't interested in computers at all. So it all really started a few years later, in the summer of 2006, when I got my laptop (which my parents initially bought me for school...) and installed The Sims 1 Triple Deluxe. I got hooked and asked for TS2 at the following Christmas... and I've been playing TS2 ever since. I tried TS3, which is now installed on my desktop (I didn't even try installing it on my poor old little laptop, which is already struggling with TS2), but I really prefer The Sims 2, in terms of the Sims look and gameplay. Not sure why, I just stick with Sims 2 and haven't explored all its possibilities yet

Oh my God ..... for me it was so that one of my children would be with a friend and we came into the game ....
Then the mother said that sims 2 is pretty new, but my son aren't allowed to play more because he takes away
the doors and make so that it burns ... so his sims dies ....
It's a bit too barbaric for my taste the mother said.. but you could borrow it for the day so you can see for yourself what kind of game it is.
And I did .... I installed the game and thought it was fun to build though it was hard at first ..

Then I gave the game back and thought nothing of it ....
However, ..... then ... I got hold of the sims 2 base game and some stuff pack.

But I also found the first sims .... so I bought it .... So I played it for a while but it was not as fun as I wanted ....
so I gave up pretty quickly .... so then I installed the sims 2 and what I had and started playing ...
until I saw that others had things I had not .... so I bought all sims 2 expansions and some of the stuff packs,
but I did not find anything like those I had seen .... so I was told by a friend of mine that was called CC ........
and after that the doors opened wide open to the world of CC and playing sims 2 and after that there has always been the sims 2 that was my heart .....
I have probably 3 or 4 of the sims 3 but I play none of those .... for that is not what I want .... and no CC woun't work for me either ....LOL
But here I am and still playing the sims 2 and it is the only game for me....and I never get tired of it ....

I was watching tele and there was two mature ladies telling about how they created clothes and stuff for Sims2. I had notiched some days before a lot of people in the local PC shop all buying "Sims2". So curious I bought the game and have been severe addicted ever since.

My sister's children come over and ask me for whatever their parents will not buy them or cannot afford or don't have the time to mess with. My sister's oldest daughter was going on and on and on about wanting to play with the Akatsuki. She said, "Sims 2 has downloads and I can put them in my game!!!" So I started researching cost, accessibility, system specs. Honestly, my general comment about Sims was, "I don't see why you'd want to play that. It looks boring to me." Followed sometimes by a, "You can't kill anything in it!" Of course, she didn't have the computer savvy I do and couldn't figure out how to download so I had to do it for her. From there I cannot remember what happened; I got sucked in like a black hole engulfing.

I don't remember how I actually found out about the sims. maybe i saw a commercial. but i bought the original sims and once ts2 came out i used my birthday money to buy it because it came out not too long before my birthday.

If I remembered well the first time I played the sims 2 ,I was 18 .The game were installed in my old computer, the gameplay was quite quite slow I have to wait ages to see them walking in the house, to create them in the cas.It wasn't as fun as nowadays.That's everything I remember well.I brought a new computer to celebrate my 19th anniversary and since I could play the sims 2 confortably like today.(far before my game started to mess around with my cc etc today it calmed down I played like before). I was so bored the sims 1 had the same face we can't change them and the sims 2 was a revolution.I was very attacted by the fact we can make up and change the hairstyle of the sims 2 at that time.I wished to have them only for that, after I really appreciate that game.

(i miss my sims 1 sometimes I don't know if vista afford them)
