    Hi everyone I was wondering if there are any fans of the Sims franchise. Which versions do you play? What is your favorite way to play? Are you a modder? What is your favorite sim?

    I my self am a major Sims fan I have been playing since 2007 when I got The Sims 1 Complete Collection for Christmas. Then I got The Sims 2 Deluxe for my Birthday a few months later. I own all 4 versions and almost every expansion pack for them.

    I like all aspects of the game from building to character creation. but my favorite way to play is story telling. I am also an avid modder even though I only make recolors.

    The first game I got was The Sims Bustin' Out for the GameCube. After that, I was hooked on the game. I then bought The Sims 3 and Sims 3: Pets for the PS3, and the Sims 3 for the PC with 2 of the expansion packs.

    I've been playing The Sims for so long I don't even remember starting; it's just always been there. The Sims was good, 2 was great, but 3 is my favorite. If I wasn't sold on it before, the fact that the Pets expansion includes horses got me. Unfortunately I lost my Pets CD so I'm just playing the original version for now.

    Did you register your games with EA or Origins. If so Origins saves all your registered as digital versions that you can re-download strait from the origins desktop app.

    3 could have been better but I still liked It. I thought the expansions were brilliant and fun to play.

    I always loved The Sims. I've played The Sims Complete Collection, sims 2 with all exp. packs and stuff packs, ts 3 with some exp. packs and a little bit sims 4, which I don't like. I was a huge fan once. Now I either don't play games or play some that are strategic or action. But sims are still a big part of my childhood.

    I'm pretty sure it is required. I know 4 does for sure.

    I haven't played in a few months (keep meaning to though) but I love Sims. I used to play Sims 1 as a kid, and now I play Sims 3. I have several expansion packs too.

    I used to have sims 2 on PS2 until it broke, and then I used to play sims 3 but I can't access it anymore. I loved "create a sim" on it because you get to make characters with a lot of detail around them and I'm the type of person who likes to put too much effort into making a character rather than just randomly picking stuff. I have the sims freeplay and simcity these days, where I don't put as much effort into the characters then I used to. I like sims freeplay though because you have quests which are sometimes fun to follow, but you don't have to.

    I remember making a sim version of myself on the sims 3 and it acted so like me it was kinda creepy, except for the fact the sim was actually better at life than I am. :grin: At least dating is easy for sims on sims 3 and on sims freeplay since every sim is automatically Bi and available to date. I'm not sure what it's like on the sims 4 since I've never played it.

    I remember the "get a life mode" on the sims 2 on PS2 where you had to work up from your sim living with your parents to living on your own, it was always quite hard the "get a life" mode and I don't think I ever completed it in the end, too bad it broke. :dry:

    It's the same everyone is bi, by default and I have had NPC sims flirt with my sims of the same gender before without my sim having to directly instigate it.

    I used to be a huge fan, but then I sort of began realizing how lonely it actually is, living in a virtual reality. xD I still go on it from time to time, and still find it pretty cool. :slight_smile:

    I have periods where I sometimes pick it up and play for a couple of weeks. I always pirate the games though because I don't agree with the business structure of the games and I will have no part in it.

    Sims 4 is probably the one I like the best, which is an unpopular opinion. I just enjoy the way Sims actually feel a bit more human in it than in previous installments.

    I have played every game and had every expansion pack. My favourites are sims 2 and sims 4.
    Sims 2 because of the way the genetics work, and sims 4 because it's more or less an upgraded version of sims 2.
    I didn't really like sims 3, I found it too shiny and not true to the original humour and feel of the games.

    I used to play Sims 2 a lot, I still play Sims 3 every now and then... Though I've never played sims 4, except for when they had that 48 hour thing available. I did enjoy the graphics but being tied to only one house again got boring real fast. Sims 3's open world has spoiled me.
